Punta Cana evening buggy tour with Dominican dinner

4.4/5
797 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.

    Five of us did the evening buggy experience and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The Honda buggies were powerful, fast and great fun—I honestly would have been happy paying the full price just for the buggy ride, never mind everything else that was included! The cave rave and swimming were brilliant, followed by traditional dancing, an interesting talk about locally produced food and products, food for us to enjoy, and then a disco.

    Great experience from start to finish, highly recommend. Doing the buggies at dusk was the best!! Swim in the cenote is a must do. Even the little stop for them to sell you stuff was actually really informative and fun!! Would definitely do this trip again.

    Started with the buggies, I expected to get a little more wet and muddy. Spent most of the time a crawling pace. Took us through hardly any deep puddles. The two passengers in the back seats you wouldn’t have known had been in the buggy they we that clean and dry. Unfortunately when we then got to the native show part the power went off which meant we couldn’t really see what was going on. This then disrupted the rest of the trip and rushed things with waiting around for the power to come back.
