Itinerary
Day 1
Start times: 08:00, 12:00 or 15:00 (these are activity start times; pickup time will be advised ~24 hours before the tour). Total tour length ~3 hours 30 minutes including travel. The day follows three main stops in order: Rancho / briefing and farm tastings, Taíno Ecological Park spring/cave, and Playa Macao. Times below use an 08:00 start as an example; if you book a different start time, the sequence and durations remain the same.
Arrival & Safety Briefing — Rancho / Buggy Caravan to Organic Farm
On arrival at the departure ranch you receive a short health and safety briefing from your guide. Then you start the rally-style caravan: off-road sections and highway stretches through tropical gardens, typical Dominican houses and plantations en route to an organic farm. At the farm you'll taste coffee, homemade demi‑john chocolate, coconut oil and Mamajuana rum while learning about local production.
Tips from local experts:
- Wear closed-toe shoes and light layers — buggies kick up dust on unpaved sections.
- Bring a small backpack for personal items (camera, water bottle); keep valuables in a zipped pocket because of bumpy terrain.
- If you prefer one-seat buggies, request this in advance via your booking contact; otherwise you will join a shared buggy in the caravan.
Taíno Ecological Park — Spring / Water Cave Visit
Travel through palm and banana plantations to the Taíno Ecological Park. Enjoy the natural landscape and visit a spring/river cave with crystal-clear water; note that during certain local holidays swimming may be restricted to photography only (the guide will confirm the current local rule). Take time to refresh and photograph the site.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring swimwear and a towel in case swimming is permitted; store them in a waterproof bag during bumpy transfers.
- During Holy Week local rules may restrict swimming — follow your guide's instructions and plan for photo-only access on those days.
- Protect electronics with a waterproof case and bring biodegradable sunscreen to minimize environmental impact.
Playa Macao — Photos, Beach Time and Surf-Viewing
Finish the route at Playa Macao, a wide palm‑fringed beach known for surf and wind. Take photos, walk the shoreline, and enjoy the view; the guide will allow a short beach stop for pictures and relaxation before returning to the pickup point.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring sunscreen, a hat and a towel — the operator does not provide towels.
- If you plan to swim, check surf conditions with your guide first; Playa Macao can have strong waves and currents.
- Keep small local-currency bills for any on‑site snacks, drinks or local crafts from vendors on the beach.
