★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 171 reviews · 7 hours · from $149

Review of Scape Park Punta Cana, with zip lines, cenote swimming, caves, animals, transport tips, costs, and advice for a full day out.

“I would definitely recommend this excursion to everyone, there’s lots to do within the park and you can do what you like at your own leisure. Once arriving at the park you are told about all the facilities then you are able to explore on your own. We were offered to go with a guide at 1pm and do some rock climbing followed by the ‘superman’ zip line, this was super fun and you didn’t have to pay any extra for it, if you aren’t too good with heights or climbing up against a rock wall I wouldn’t recommend it, but if you are a bit of a thrill seeker…”

9.Punta Cana ATV Adventure: Beach & Cenote Tour with Pickup

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 91 reviews · 210 minutes - 4 hours · from $49

Review of Punta Cana’s $49 ATV, beach, cenote, coffee, and Mama Juana tour, with practical advice on timing, value, and what to expect.

“It was overall disappointing. When we arrived we waited over an hour to start the activity. They tried to sell us an “add-on” of $50 per person to be able to spend a bit extra time on the ATV. The first stop was the coffee/chocolate “tour” except we had a guide who spoke so fast we didn’t understand anything he said and it was just an opportunity to sell us things. The stop is only 20mins so it felt rushed and we didn’t get to actually learn anything about Dominican coffee/chocolate etc. The next stop was the cave, again very short time there. Not long enough to enjoy it. This…”

10.Buggy Tour with Cenote Visit

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 76 reviews · 3 hours · from $35

Ride muddy trails from Punta Cana to Macau Beach and a turquoise cenote, with coffee, cocoa, and mamajuana stops for $35.

“Very disappointing – not recommended Uncomfortable and unsafe transport (safari truck without air conditioning). Upon arrival, you’re pressured into buying overpriced accessories. Then, over an hour of waiting in 34°C heat due to poor organization. The buggy was in bad condition and hard to drive. The route was interrupted by several commercial stops. The sites visited were either overcrowded or not worth it (a dirty beach, a packed cave). Too many people, too many forced sales, and not enough real experience. I do not recommend this activity.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 72 reviews · 3 - 132 hours · from $24

Punta Cana buggy adventure with muddy farm roads, Dominican coffee, a blue cenote, Macao Beach, hotel pickup, and practical tips.

“La playa de Macao era preciosa. Da la sensación de que cuando llegas a la casa donde te dan a probar cacao y café solo quieren vender. No hay explicaciones detalladas la cultura, tipo de vida. El cenote muy bonito pero muy masificado y repito, con la misma intención de que vayas comprando. Los buggies que nos pusieron necesitan mantenimiento o revisión ya que fallaban y el estado no era el ideal. Poco tiempo de disfrute en la playa y cenote”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 21 reviews

Review of Punta Cana’s buggy ride, Blue Cenote, jungle river, mine track, village museum, lunch, safety, value, and practical tips.

“Em primeiro lugar somos obrigados a deixar o telemóvel fora da experiência num cacifo por questões de segurança, quando o passageiro pode muito bem levar o tele na sua mão. Não se preocupam eles com a segurança dos buggy, o volante tinha muita folga na direção, o cinto de segurança não apertava, a distância entre assento e volante era gigante e não temos possibilidade de qualquer ajuste, os pedais são feitos a mão e sem qualquer tipo de segurança também, o travão do buggy era péssimo, ou seja eles dão nos para a mão um buggy da idade da pedra mas dizem que é para vossa segurança deixar o telemóvel…”
