About this activity
This amazing tour starts at a conveniently located ranch in the heart of Bavaro. All passengers will receive pre-tour instructions about the safety and operation of the vehicles. Guests will be driving their own automatic“caravan-style” buggy following the tour guide who will lead the group.
The "Flintstones Buggy Trail" has a length of 10 kilometers and takes you through a variety of vegetation and rock/hill-formations. The trial leads straight through the countryside where you can see donkeys, cows, horses, sheep and pigs!
After about 25 minutes of driving the tour has its first stop at a typical Dominican house and the local “colmado” (a small grocery store) where participants can taste some real Dominican coffee and cocoa. Immerse yourself into the Dominican culture as you join locals from the countryside doing their daily shopping. No one will ask you to buy anything but if you need some food or local products you can take advantage as they of the really cheap prices!
Around 20 minutes later the tour will continue off-road and you will be surrounded with simply breathtaking views. You'll travel past colorful houses and across the amazing landscape of banana plantations and farmland. This is the true Dominican Republic! Here the trail gets even more "rough" and "wild" and there are some spectacular views of the "cliffs" that have been formed over millions of years.
The tour continues until the arrival at the “Cave of Fantasy”! First we enter the cave and walk almost to the end through magnificent and huge illuminated stalactites and stalagmites. You will learn about the legend of the “Hidden Princess” and all of her secrets! This is not a public cave so it is accessible only to your tour. It is a 100% authentic experience! In the cave you will feel the bumps and uneven surface of the path. There have been minimum changes made to the cave so that it keeps its natural authenticity and beauty.
After exploring "Fantasy Cave", you will go up the stairs to Bedrock City! Bedrock City is another group of caves that are located above the large cave, a rare combination and therefore, very unique! Why the name Bedrock City? Well, here you see the villa of Fred Flintstone, the garage with the Flintstone Mobile and much more.
After around 35 minutes spent inside the cave it will be time to go back. With the sun in your face and the wind in your hair, you will drive your open-air dune buggy back to the ranch. Here the guests will have the opportunity to buy the pictures from the excursion and other souvenirs or enjoy a Dominican-flavored drinks at the bar.

Loved the trip... 2 things 1. Bring bandanas 2. Bring wrap around eye wear . very dusty I have been on many in other areas and this ride is VERY DUSTY the caves are amazing the scenes on the ride are amazing. Must do!
We very much enjoyed the dune buggies. It was a very fun ride and definitely got muddy. The coffee we tasted was the best we ever had and the caves were very cool. Loved the Flintstones theme cave
You will get dirty but it's a great bumpy fun ride. The extra cave tour was great as well. Awesome! !
The excursion was a lot of fun and the guides were very friendly and funny! Picked up and dropped off on time.
I highly recommend this excursion. My family stayed in Punta Cana for a week and took two excursions. We took this Buggy adventure excursion and the Four Adventures excursion. In my opinion, going on one excursion on the water and one excursion on the land was a great decision. We have teenage sons and they thoroughly enjoyed both excursions. - On the Buggy excursion you drive a two man dune buggy or a four man family buggy through the Dominican country side. While the group does stay together and you are not allowed to pass each other, you get to drive surprisingly fast on the straighter roads. Some of the roads are quite bumpy. But it is enjoyable navigating them. You do make several rest stops along the way so you can change drivers if you want to make sure everybody in your family gets a turn driving. But, frankly, being a passenger is also very enjoyable as you get to look around more. The stop at a local residence was very enjoyable with a nice tour of the residence and a cup of coffee. You can sample some the foods like bananas and plantains and coffee. Be careful if they ask if you want to taste one of the chile peppers. They are tiny but crazy hot. In the middle of the drive you get to stop at a cave and walk through it. The cave is awesome and surprisingly deep. No need to worry about small spaces. The cave is huge and you will not get claustrophobic. -- When you return to the buggy ranch there is a nice little shop where you can purchase some of the usual trinkets. But you can also sit down and drink a bottle of water while watching the pictures and videos the guides took while you were driving. The picture are great and you will definitely want to purchase them. In the end, I think pairing this excursion with the Four Adventures excursion was a great combination. Definitely 5 stars for both excursions.
A lot of fun! The buggies are safely put together and do pack a bit of a punch. The trail is mostly gravel and mud you will get splashed but this is part of the enjoyment make sure you wear clothes that you don't care much about. The cave at the end is very beautiful with some truly disturbing Flintstones characters. Overall very good.
Great time!
Our guide Ivan Rosales and his assistant were extremely pleasant and quite knowledgible about anything we had a question about, whether it pertained to the terrain, plants, cave dwellings, etc., etc. Great sense of humor also. The dune buggies supplied are primarily open with a roll cage and were quite capable with regard to acceleration and handling the rough terrain. Just in case of a mechanical problem which we did not have, a mechanic follows in another buggy. I would certainly recommend this excursion over others that claim to be similar. We spoke to some folks at our resort with regard to their experiences with other tours...and they all seemed dissappointed that they did not join us instead. Make sure you bring goggles and a scarf to cover your face from the dust. Also consider bringing a couple of shower caps from your resort to put on your head under the helmets supplied. Just a precaution as my wife is paranoid about getting cooties from someone else's head This is a total thumbs up tour!!!
