Punta Cana evening buggy tour with Dominican dinner

4.4/5
738 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.

    Don’t mind the two parts of the trip the buggies and the cave. But the extra stops at souvenir shops where you have to get out and walk around the shops plus the hard sell when you arrive for overpriced coffee and souvenirs. This made the trip a disappointment overall. Not worth the money.

    Really enjoyed the buggy experience. We wished the time driving had been more equally split between the two of us (the first driver had much longer). The Taino show was good fun. The tasting part of the experience was really just a selling of their products. I would have preferred to understand how things were made etc. The cave party was an experience never to be forgotten. It was amazing! The food was excellent and really tasty. The final dancing was great fun too.

    We enjoyed the cave swim and the history of the tribe show and the food was good although drinks was slow. The buggies you should wear old clothes and washable shoes or sandals and dark clothes. Too many people at once so cant really get any speed due to stopping a lot!! And we didnt get the extra tiu time as advertised. The last show was suppose to be a dance show ended up just a disco then being rushed through gift shop. If your gonna buy photos take cash as they charge you 15% to use card!

    It was a great experience but really over priced but again they take away the fun by trying to sell you something- before you even start you are told to go into the shop and straight away they want you to buy photos experience at$90 then after a short drive which is fun you have to watch a dance then you guessed it another photo then another shop to buy coffee etc - then the cave which is worth it- then food which again is good

    Very expensive for what it is, buggies are poorly maintained, slow and vague steering. Way too many buggies and had to keep stopping. The tour includes being funnelled through various gift stores which I didn’t appreciate. This is designed for American tourists, the swim in the cave was like being in a nightclub in a cave. Very odd experience. Food and restaurant staff were nice but meal was rushed to get to the next pop up American party. My first trip out of the hotel wouldnt do it again
