“They didn’t even come to pick us up and lied about being at the entrance. Waste of time and money, we were very upset.”
Review of Punta Cana's $49 ATV tour with jungle trails, Macao Beach, cenote swim, Dominican coffee, tastings, and hotel pickup.
“It was overall disappointing. When we arrived we waited over an hour to start the activity. They tried to sell us an “add-on” of $50 per person to be able to spend a bit extra time on the ATV. The first stop was the coffee/chocolate “tour” except we had a guide who spoke so fast we didn’t understand anything he said and it was just an opportunity to sell us things. The stop is only 20mins so it felt rushed and we didn’t get to actually learn anything about Dominican coffee/chocolate etc. The next stop was the cave, again very short time there. Not long enough to enjoy it. This…”
Review of Punta Cana’s $35 buggy tour to Macau Beach and a cenote, with route details, value advice, safety concerns, and practical tips.
“Very disappointing – not recommended Uncomfortable and unsafe transport (safari truck without air conditioning). Upon arrival, you’re pressured into buying overpriced accessories. Then, over an hour of waiting in 34°C heat due to poor organization. The buggy was in bad condition and hard to drive. The route was interrupted by several commercial stops. The sites visited were either overcrowded or not worth it (a dirty beach, a packed cave). Too many people, too many forced sales, and not enough real experience. I do not recommend this activity.”
Review of Punta Cana’s buggy ride to Macao Beach, with muddy farm roads, coffee, chocolate, a cenote swim, and practical tips.
“La playa de Macao era preciosa. Da la sensación de que cuando llegas a la casa donde te dan a probar cacao y café solo quieren vender. No hay explicaciones detalladas la cultura, tipo de vida. El cenote muy bonito pero muy masificado y repito, con la misma intención de que vayas comprando. Los buggies que nos pusieron necesitan mantenimiento o revisión ya que fallaban y el estado no era el ideal. Poco tiempo de disfrute en la playa y cenote”

Review of Punta Cana’s buggy, cenote, and jungle river adventure, with practical advice on safety, value, transport, and what to bring.
“Em primeiro lugar somos obrigados a deixar o telemóvel fora da experiência num cacifo por questões de segurança, quando o passageiro pode muito bem levar o tele na sua mão. Não se preocupam eles com a segurança dos buggy, o volante tinha muita folga na direção, o cinto de segurança não apertava, a distância entre assento e volante era gigante e não temos possibilidade de qualquer ajuste, os pedais são feitos a mão e sem qualquer tipo de segurança também, o travão do buggy era péssimo, ou seja eles dão nos para a mão um buggy da idade da pedra mas dizem que é para vossa segurança deixar o telemóvel…”

“Super excursion je recommande +++ Transfert depuis notre hôtel, arrivée aux buggy (un peu vieillots j’avoue mais ça fait partie du charme !) et là départ pour 3h de folie Dès le départ on nous a proposé de se faire accompagner par un jeune homme qui nous a pris en photo durant toute l’activité pour 70$ (négociable). Pensez à vous équiper de foulard et lunettes… indispensables !”
