Overview

Our Safari Buggy Sensation is much more than just a buggy ride. This full day takes you to the heart of the Dominican countryside, through sugarcane plantations, rural tracks and unspoilt landscapes.

Behind the wheel of your buggy, enjoy a true off-road adventure before heading to the beautiful Chavón River for a refreshing swim in an exceptional natural setting. Guests can also enjoy a traditional Dominican lunch before heading back on the road.

More than just a buggy ride, this experience combines adventure, nature and discovery of the Dominican Republic, in small groups and far from the classic tourist circuits.
