ATV & Buggy Tours in Punta Cana: A Complete Guide
Off-road splits mainly by vehicle in Punta Cana, and once you're choosing between ATV, Buggy and Polaris UTV, it comes down to how much wheel you want in your hands and how much extra comfort is worth paying for. Here's what actually separates them, plus the combo pages worth checking before you build a day around one.
ATV Tour Punta Cana
Mud kicks up on both sides as the trail leaves the paved road behind, an hour or so of countryside driving broken up by a stop at Macao Beach and a cool swim through a freshwater cave. You're on the handlebars the whole way, guided by someone who knows exactly where the mamajuana stop is. Single $70, Double $90, drivers 16+, passengers from age 7, three departures a day (7:00 AM, 10:00 AM, 1:00 PM). See the tour →
Buggy Tour Punta Cana
Same countryside, same mud, but you and a passenger sit side-by-side instead of straddling the vehicle — some riders find that easier to handle on the rougher stretches. About 1.5 to 2 hours of driving leads into a cave swim and a stop at Macao Beach, with the same coffee, cacao and mamajuana tasting along the way. Single $69, Double $90, Family up to 4 $130, drivers 16+, passengers from age 5. See the tour →
Polaris UTV Punta Cana
More cab, more power, a noticeably smoother ride over the same trails — this is the upgrade pick for anyone who wants the mud and the beach stop without giving up comfort. About 3 hours of riding plus transfers, with a Taíno cave swim and a house stop for coffee, chocolate, tobacco and mamajuana. Single $149, Double $199, Family up to 4 $280, drivers 16+, passengers from age 6 and at least 1.30 m tall. See the tour →
Buggy + Zipline Combo
Drive your own 4x4 buggy through the Anamuya mountains after a safety briefing, a swim stop in the river, coconut and coffee at the Casa del Coco — then fly 12 ziplines across that same range in the afternoon. Priced per buggy (up to 4 people): Single $179, Double $249, Triple $329, Quadruple $409. About 8 hours with round-trip transport. See the tour →
Buggy + Monkey Land Combo
Same Honda Pioneer 700 buggy through the mountains and river swim, but the afternoon trades ziplines for squirrel monkeys that climb onto your shoulder at Monkey Land. Priced per buggy: Single $179, Double $261, Triple $347, Quadruple $433. About 8 hours total. See the tour →
Triple Adventure: Buggy + Zipline + Monkey Land
The day that stacks all three — ziplines in the morning, squirrel monkeys at midday, the 4x4 buggy through the mountains in the afternoon, lunch included. Priced per buggy: Single $209, Double $351, Triple $467, Quadruple $553. About 8 hours total, the fullest of the combo options. See the tour →
Bottom Line
For an off-road day built around more stops rather than more speed — a sugar cane plantation, a working coffee and cacao farm, and Macao Beach, run in Ohana's own safari trucks — Bávaro Runners covers similar countryside at a slower pace. Adults $90, kids 3–12 $45, about 8 hours.
