About this tour

Explore the Dominican Countryside

A Punta Cana safari tour offers a full-day look beyond the resort zone. During the tour, you travel in a safari-style truck, visit rural areas, learn about coffee, cacao, fruit and tobacco, see Higuey and continue to a ranch and Macao Beach.

The route combines cultural stops, local-product demonstrations, countryside scenery and outdoor activities. Therefore, it works well for travelers who want variety and do not mind a long day with multiple transfers and stops.

Safari Tour Highlights

  • Hotel pickup and safari-truck transportation.
  • Guide commentary throughout the route.
  • Coffee, cacao, fruit and tobacco demonstrations or tastings.
  • Panoramic visit to Higuey, the basilica and local market area.
  • Ranch stop with Dominican buffet lunch and drinks.
  • Horseback riding and a Macao Beach stop under the current itinerary.

Before You Book

Some stops offer panoramic sightseeing rather than full guided entries. In addition, weather and local conditions can affect horseback riding and river or beach access. Therefore, confirm the walking level, vehicle type, meal, beverage list and any shopping stops before booking. Also, tell the team about any mobility, back or animal-allergy concerns.

What to Bring

Wear comfortable closed shoes and light clothing. In addition, bring sunscreen, insect repellent, swimwear, a towel, dry clothes and cash for tips or optional products.

Do it, seriously

We wanted something different from the boat tours and this delivered. Came back with a much better sense of the place.

Our favorite excursion

The school visit was handled respectfully, which I was worried about. We brought supplies as suggested and the whole thing felt genuine rather than staged.

Nice trip overall

Really worthwhile day. The truck is open sided and bumpy for hours, so if you have a bad back this one is not for you.

Día muy completo. El camión es abierto y el camino tiene bastante traqueteo, tenerlo en cuenta si tienen problemas de espalda.

Unforgettable

The mamajuana tasting near the end got the whole truck singing on the way home. Good way to finish.

Perfecto

La parada en la playa al final y el almuerzo criollo fueron el cierre perfecto. Comida sencilla y riquísima.

Cumple, sin más

Interesante pero hay varias paradas que terminan en venta. La del ron y los tabacos se hizo larga.
