Punta Cana evening buggy tour with Dominican dinner

4.5/5
700 reviews

This experience has adventure stamped all over it. Off-road buggy rides, traditional Taino ceremonies and swimming in underground pools make for an adrenaline-pumping evening from Punta Cana. Juan, one of our local guides, says ‘Caves and cenotes played an important role in the indigenous Taino culture. Despite looking so tempting with their cool aquamarine water, the Taino people never swam in the cenotes or used the water because of their belief that they were a gateway to the underworld.' Plus, you'll enjoy a Dominican dinner and an open bar followed by live music.

To kick off your all-action evening, you'll power through the Dominican countryside, zoom along dirt tracks and watch as the landscape transforms from day to night. Guided by torchlight, you'll continue your journey to take a swim in a natural cave pool, known as a cenote, with atmospheric lighting.

With flaming torches lighting the way, you'll make your way back to base for a well-earned drink and a tasty dinner of local cuisine. The restaurant staff pride themselves on creating classic Dominican dishes, freshly prepared with seasonal produce from the island. Rounding off the evening is a traditional Taino dance show and the chance to join in with a boogie or enjoy the open bar under the stars.

    Whole evening was rushed and guides shouting at you hurry up come on over there no explanation of how to drive buggy or help with fitting head gear ... Buggy gave off intense heat from under the seat and front console which meant you needed to shift about in the seat ... Guides repeatedly sped past with no warning and no wing mirrors on buggy ... Had to follow a procession of 50 buggies and not very much mud didn't receive extra time as a TUI customer ...

    The evening and excursion was fantastic overall the only slight teeny fault and this is with TUI would be to make people aware and to change on their website or app for the excursion itself is that IF YOU DONT DRIVE or have ever driven you wont be able to drive a buggy as this is not explained and it states u dont need a licence etc...and we were told we didnt need one or that it didnt matter...but it did as 1 of the guides had to drive us round...still a fab excursion though all in all 👌

    De activiteiten waren heel leuk! De organisatie tussen de activiteiten is was soms wat chaotisch, de communicatie had wat beter gekund. Verder super leuke ervaring en we waren blij dat Grace van Tui had aangegeven dat we schone kleren mee moesten nemen. Je kunt je namelijk daar omkleden na het zwemmen. Alles was ook super netjes, heel fijn.
