★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,862 reviews · from $60Our pick

Culture, markets, a basilica visit, horseback riding, and river time, then Macao Beach, with hotel pickup from Punta Cana.

“Robinson as a guide and Sandy as the driver were an AWESOME PAIR!!! This is definitely not a 5 to 6 hour excursion, I would plan for 7 to 8. But we covered so many things and learned so much with a high energy and active leader. It is an open air truck so make sure that you have a way to keep your hair taken care of and regulate your temperature. But Pickup was timely, the information was amazing, we did not feel rushed at all and we were able to see so many things. I 100% will use this company again anytime that I have a chance”

“This was the best tour ever. Worth every penny!! It was so informative, and packed with experiences not to mention, amazing views. I was so surprised. Our lovely guide wester martinez made sure that everyone was happy and included at all times. They speak fluently English if you don’t speak spanish, you’re still in for a great time. I honestly think that every person who comes to the Punta Cana area, should do this tour if possible. Its a great opportunity to learn more about this beautiful country outside the hotels and resorts. Absolutely fantastic experience!! 10/10”

“This is a great tour. Just know that the pick up and drop offs are a process. They are a time consuming and also the trip is about a two hour drive. But it was all worth it when you get there. The caves was probably our best part. We were also shown some very interesting things in the city itself. Our guide , Johnie Walker was great, also included a buffet lunch all in all a long day but well worth it. Highly recommend.”
