Want to actually understand the country you're visiting? We'll pick you up in an open-air safari truck and head deep into the Dominican countryside — cacao, coffee and tobacco farms, a local village, historic Higüey, a home-cooked lunch, and a lazy hour on Macao Beach. It's a full-day crash course in real Dominican life.
Want to fly home actually understanding the Dominican Republic — not just the buffet and the beach? Then this is your day. Our country safari packs a whole culture into one unforgettable full-day excursion.
Bring every one of your senses, because we're heading deep into the country's eastern mountains to:
This is the country at its very best, so don't stop at looking and sniffing — take home whatever you like and relive the day later.
Sound good? Because we're only getting warmed up. You'll also:
And we've saved the best for last.
Macao Beach is one of the most coveted stretches of coast in the whole Punta Cana area — amber sand and clear blue water that pull in beachgoers and surfers alike. Locals have long known it as the spot for fresh fish and slow Sunday afternoons with friends. Now it's your turn to enjoy Macao the way they do: about an hour to wade into the Caribbean, stretch out on the soft sand, or just people-watch while refreshments are served.
Country Adventure is the original Punta Cana safari, and it's built a loyal following over the years for one simple reason — quality and value. Seats on the open-air truck go fast, so book ahead to hold your place.
Our destination is the Dominican countryside. You coming?
Good to know
- There's a short stop at the Basílica in Higüey. To enter, both women and men must be covered to the elbows and knees.
- The school visit can't be guaranteed — it depends on holidays and government rules on public-school visits by excursions.

The pricing is very reasonable and I was excited to see I could pay via PayPal upfront. It’s great getting to the resort in a air-conditioned vehicle, with a friendly courteous member from Punta Cana Tours. Plus arrived to the resort before the bus load and got to stay an extra hour at the resort on departure day because we didn’t have to stop anywhere to pick people up! Book with confidence, you won’t regret it.”
