Punta Cana Buggy, Horseback & Zipline Adventure to Macao Beach
Drive buggies through rural trails, ride horses past small farms, fly a zipline above jungle canopy, then unwind at Macao Beach. This full-day Punta Cana combo pairs adrenaline with cultural stops and a riverside traditional lunch.

Use reef-safe sunscreen
You’ll end at Macao Beach; protect coral and skin with mineral-based sunscreen and reapply regularly.

Zipline and horseback segments enforce weight and health rules—disclose spinal, heart or pregnancy concerns before booking.
