About this experience

Rally-style in a caravan, you'll travel along rugged roads through forests and lush tropical gardens, stopping at an organic farm. There you will have the opportunity to taste and learn about Dominican treasures such as coffee, green tea, chocolate, mamajuana and cigars. You will then drive to the next stop on the tour: the Cueva Acuatica Macao, a 25-foot deep water cave. After some time enjoying this hidden gem and its refreshing waters, you will follow your tour guide as you drive to the spectacular Macao Beach, the Casa Tipica Macao. Relax and enjoy the waves and sand, surrounded by limestone cliffs, before returning to the Rancho-Playa Macao, where transportation will be waiting to take you back to your pick-up point.
