If you’re looking to spice up your Punta Cana trip with a full day of adventure and authentic fun, this Buggy, Horse, and Zip Line tour is an appealing choice. For $99 per person, you’ll spend about six hours discovering the countryside, soaring through the air, and getting muddy in the dunes—all with private transportation included, making logistics smooth and hassle-free. The activities are all optionally combined, so whether you want a taste of each or just some highlights, this tour offers flexibility.
What we really love about this experience are the varied scenery and the chance to try different adrenaline-pumping activities in one outing. The zip line over Macao Beach promises stunning views and a thrill, while the horseback ride takes you through lush trails and gives you a taste of local countryside life. The buggy ride is a highlight, with its mix of dirt roads, hills, and the possibility of a little mud—perfect for those seeking a bit of dirt under their nails.
One possible consideration is that the tour duration is quite packed, so if you’re looking for a relaxed, leisurely day, this might feel a bit rushed. Also, since it’s a group experience, the number of fellow travelers could affect the intimacy or the pace of activities.
This tour suits adventurous travelers, families, or groups who want to combine exciting outdoor activities with a taste of Dominican landscape. It’s also ideal if you’re short on time but want a comprehensive outdoor experience that covers multiple activities in one day.

Meeting Point and Transportation
The tour begins conveniently in Punta Cana, with private transportation taking you directly to the adventure park. This is a significant plus because it removes the hassle of arranging your own transport or navigating unfamiliar roads. The majority of travelers seem to appreciate this, as it allows everyone to relax and get excited about the day ahead.
Zip Line at Macao Beach
Our first stop is Macao Beach, famous not only for its beautiful sands but also for its eight carbon zip lines and a suspension bridge nestled between two trees. The zip line experience lasts about an hour, during which you’ll fly through the air over scenic views of the coastline and greenery. The security equipment provided is reassuring, and the activity is managed by experienced guides, ensuring both excitement and safety.
One reviewer shared, “We loved the way the zip lines gave us a bird’s eye view of the beach and surrounding jungle. The lines are long and smooth, making for a very fun ride.” The suspension bridge adds a bit of variety, providing a gentle walk high above the ground with great photo opportunities.
Horseback Riding through the Countryside
Next, you’ll hop onto a horseback and meander through trails that wind between ranches, hills, and riverbeds. This portion lasts about an hour and offers a peaceful contrast to the adrenaline of zip lining. Guides (whose names aren’t specified but seem attentive) lead you through the ecosystem, allowing for some nice photo moments and a chance to enjoy the calm beauty of rural Dominican landscapes.
A review notes, “The horseback riding was a gentle, scenic ride that gave us a real feel for local countryside life. It’s relaxed but still engaging, with plenty of chances to take photos or just enjoy the surroundings.”
The Buggy Adventure
The highlight for many is the buggy ride—a 3-hour journey through dirt roads, hills, ranches, and the dunes. It’s a powerful combination of thrills and dirt, with the possibility of a little mud. The track includes some uphill climbs and fast descents, definitely for those who like a bit of an adrenaline rush.
Travelers often mention the panoramic views, as well as the fun of driving through dusty trails that lead through the countryside. One participant said, “The buggy ride was full of energy and excitement. We loved the mix of dusty trails and the chance to get a little muddy. It’s definitely a day for those who enjoy a bit of dirt and adventure.”
