Punta Cana Zipline, Buggies & Horseback Combo at Macao Beach
Combine ziplines, off‑road buggies, horseback and a beach break at Playa Macao in a single, action‑packed day. This combo from Rancho Tuko pairs adrenaline with cultural stops at coffee, cacao and tobacco demonstrations.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear closed‑toe shoes
Trails include loose gravel, sand and rocky footing—sturdy shoes improve control on buggies and horses.
Bring sunscreen and a hat
Sun is strong on open tracks and the beach; reef‑safe sunscreen protects skin and marine life.
Hydrate and pack a small snack
Six hours of activity in heat requires steady hydration; bottled water is provided but bring extras if you sweat heavily.
Protect your phone and camera
Use a waterproof case or dry bag for beach and spring stops—salt and sand are harsh on electronics.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Small Taino cave paintings at the Rancho Tuko site that few groups stop to examine closely
- •A short dune overlook near Playa Macao that offers a quieter sunset view away from the main beach access
Wildlife
- •Green iguanas along the trails
- •Tropical shorebirds and occasional frigatebirds near the coast
Conservation Note
Stick to marked paths to protect dune vegetation and use reef‑safe sunscreen on the beach; local operators aim to minimize single‑use plastics and manage visitor access to sensitive spots.
The area preserves traces of Taino presence and was later shaped by agricultural estates; local craft demonstrations recall the island’s history of cacao, coffee and tobacco production.
