Punta Cana Full-Day La Hacienda Dune Buggy, Zipline & Horseback Adventure
Spend a full day outside Punta Cana mixing mud-splattered dune buggies, a high zipline, horseback riding, a cool river swim, and a hands-on cacao and coffee demo — finished with time at Macao Beach. Practical, active, and rooted in rural Dominican culture.
The Experience
Before You Go
Bring closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes protect feet during the buggy and horseback portions and handle mud on the course.
Hydrate and salt
Carry water and a salty snack — tropical sun and physical activity dehydrate fast during the 8‑hour day.
Protect from sun and insects
Use reef-safe sunscreen and a light long-sleeve shirt to limit sun exposure; bring insect repellent for the river area.
Check health restrictions
This tour is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with severe back or heart conditions—disclose medical issues at booking.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Early-morning surf or watching local surfers at Macao Beach—less crowded and lively in the surf break.

Wildlife

- •Tropical birds such as kingfishers and small parrots in riparian trees
Conservation Note
Respect river and beach ecosystems by avoiding single-use plastics, following guide directions near riparian zones, and using reef‑safe sunscreen at Macao Beach.
La Altagracia’s rural areas grew around small farms producing cacao, coffee and cattle—elements still visible in on‑site demos and local cuisine.
