What to Expect 

The excursion starts at the early morning, when the bus comes to pick you up at your hotel. The
pickup time depends on where you are staying. The bus heads first to Bayahibe, which is about 11/2
hours drive from Punta Cana. The boat to Saona will be waiting for you there (Usually a Catamaran
to go and a Speed Boat to come back). The price of the excursion includes the round-trip
transportation, the professional guide, the catamaran and the speedboat to the Saona Island, the
barbecue and buffet lunch, and the snacks and drinks that you could be willing during the day.
You will spend time on the beach and be free to get around the island, eat, dance, swim and relax,
and also get to a natural swimming pool and observe or take photos with the starfishes.
What you should take is your beach towel, beach clothing, swimsuit, swimming goggles, sunscreen
(very important!) and cash in case you would like to bring some souvenirs from the island.
The excursion lasts one full day, about 11-12 hours (Generally from 7:30am to 6:30pm
approximately). Available everyday.

What to Expect 

From our secluded ranch in Macao, it's time to size up your Buggy before we tear through remote farmland. These narrow, secluded country roads offer a safe haven for deep pools of Mud. At first, you may try and avoid the filth, but soon you'll give into the muck. Everyone does… eventually.  Macao Buggies is not for the dainty! 
Stop 1: Visit a sleepy country plantation for an intro on some of the Dominican Republic's most sought after produce: cacao, coffee, tobacco and Mamajuana (a Dominican aphrodisiac elixir) Yes, you can drink and drive here … Back into the rocky off-road and then …
Stop 2: Descend into a picturesque cave replete with a subterranean river perfect for swimming. Jump in, cool off and wash off! Then, the longest stretch of your drive is also the largest contrast. From the hidden countryside cave, we retrace our muddy path, and then some, to the beach! Where else would we go?
Stop 3: Take in Macao Beach. One of the last ‘resort free’ coastal stretches of Punta Cana, Macao is the idealistic Caribbean shore with amber sands, rows of coconut palms and azure waters.
CLIFF NOTES: Tear through remote farmland, Enter a quaint country ranch, Swim in the underground waters of a natural cave and Bask in the sun at Macao Beach.
