Detailed itinerary
1
The fun starts just 15 minutes from port at the home base in Maimon where you'll gear up, get a few safety instructions, rev your quad engine and head off into the beautiful Dominican countryside following the Atlantic Ocean coastline! We start by rolling through the charming village of Maimon on the way to our first stop ... a spot where you can take a photo of your cruise ship behind you in port before heading deeper into the country.... and we do mean back country. It's not unusual to pass someone on a donkey delivering milk, or roll past chickens and wild turkeys running down the road, or pass a piglet or two foraging in the mud and of course, waving at smiling locals along the way to our next stop... an authentic little cigar rolling shack where you'll learn about cigars, sample local organic hot chocolate and coffee and even taste a bit of Mamajuana!
