15 Half-Day Tours in Punta Cana Worth Booking

Half-Day Adventure 4x4 ATV, Water Cave and Dominican Culture - Starting the engines at Rancho Pin number 2

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 3,394 reviews · from $64Our pick

Ride ATVs through Punta Cana’s countryside, taste coffee and chocolate, swim in a clear-water cave, and relax at Macao Beach.

“Fab trip, well worth the money, all staff really friendly. Quad biking was fine with the swim in the cave making it that extra special. We were warned of locals badgering you but to be fair it wasn’t that bad at all and if you stayed no thank you they left you alone. Only down side was the information given incorrectly with regards to the description of the transport collecting us. We were told a white van with specific writing on the side when in fact it was a grey truck, but it did not spoil the trip one bit.”

We started with a joyful welcoming which stayed like that during all the day by our guide Robinson and our driver Sandi. After a short horse ride we went to Higuey to visit the Cathedral and the market. The best part of the tour was when they showed us how coffe and chocolate are made by hand. We ended the tour by relaxing a bit at Macao beach with a good pinacolada.”
