★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 5,001 reviews · from $100

Punta Cana jungle adventure at Hacienda Tuko, with zipline, horseback riding, and dune buggies plus hotel pickup, lunch, and bottled water.

“It was an adventure packed day. We were picked up at our hotel a little before the given pickup time. Our guide, Fignole, was very attentive and polite. He ensured that we were good and explained the safety rules and guidelines to us while we were on the bus and again when we got to the location. Transportation was very comfortable and it was nice seeing the country side of Punta Cana. We enjoyed the horseback riding activity and the visit to the country style house where we got to try fresh cow’s milk and cacao powder. The zipline and buggie activities were fun as well. We got to swim…”

“It is a bit of a tourist destination which means busy. I highly recommend. The food was incredible. The scenery amazed me. A few things 1. The beach is sand but in the water there are a lot of rocks we wish we wore our water shoes in 2. The photos.. Be prepared to spend $10/photo unless you buy all 90 he took and it is $3.50 a photo. He eventually offered us $120 for 96 photos but we just did 10 for $70.. I still felt ripped off lol. 3. Our transportation... Via WhatsApp said 650 am and was a 30 minute pick up away from where we were…”

Drive your own buggy to a 25 ft water cave and Macao Beach, with organic tastings and hotel pickup for $54 per person.

“Fun exploration. The ‘farm’ was the only disappointment, it’s a little shop not like visiting a farm or plantation for the authentic feel. The cave you literally jump in the. Have to get out, no time in the water to explore. It was also very crowded and someone fell on top of one of our group members hurting his neck. The staff was fantastic, communication was good, buggies were fun and we loved the beach stop.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,206 reviews · from $45

ATV tour from Punta Cana to an organic farm, 25-ft cenote swim, and Playa Macao. Pickup, helmet, tastings for $45.

“I’ve been in 8 atv tours this would rank about 5th. Everything seemed rushed. The farm is not really a farm it’s a place to sale you stuff. As is the water cave. It’s extremely crowded and again they rush you. The beach is nice but overpriced food and drink items. Also when you read the reviews beware they all say their name is Mr. Panda and at the end they try and write the reviews for you or pressure you to give them a 5.”
