Pilot The Dune - Punta Cana By Dune Buggy

Punta Cana is essentially a small piece of paradise - the warm climate

, white sand and turquoise waters reinforce this notion immediately upon arrival to any of the beaches there. When vacationing in 'paradise' it is customary to spend an inordinate amount of time laying inert on the beach, soaking up the sun and simply relaxing as the gentle sound of the surf lapping the shore puts you to sleep - and there is certainly nothing wrong with that! But lying around, no matter how beautiful the surroundings, can become stale at a certain point. Why not do something a bit more pulse quickening? A dune buggy tour or rental can provide thrills and exhilaration all while remaining in the vicinity of the beach while offering you a much different vantage point from which to experience Punta Cana.

Most Punta Cana resorts and accommodations can recommend a worthwhile buggy tour operator in the near vicinity. Before you book, make sure you know exactly what you want from a tour, and make sure you clarify with the tour operator exactly what you will be getting. Beach tours are offered by some vendors; with a beach tour there are usually two options, you can drive the buggy yourself, or, you can be a passenger while an experienced driver takes the wheel. Your own level of experience will dictate what your beach tour is like in terms of speed and maneuvering should you choose to drive yourself. If you opt for being a passenger, chances are the tour drivers will perform various maneuvers to add to the excitement and expend some of your adrenaline reserves.

Dune buggy tours also extend beyond the beach to encompass larger areas throughout the island; many of these longer, more expansive tours can last for an entire morning or afternoon so dress and prepare accordingly (pack food and drink). For those seeking more of an adventure, there are tours that are 3 or 6 days in length that encompass the entire island. For the tours that stray away from the beaches, you can expect to get a much fuller view of island living - you'll see many of the farms and plantations that form the basis for day to day island living and may get to visit some of them for full immersion in local living. For the tours that stay closer to the beach, keep your eyes on the water for whale sightings!

A buggy rental or tour is also a great family excursion, should you be travelling with children. Bringing along the kids would likely mean staying closer to the shorter beach tours, so keep that in mind before booking. Dune buggies are a good choice for sightseeing, as the roads in Punta Cana are in somewhat rough condition, and while it is fine to putter around on scooters or other vehicles, they aren't wonderful for long drives - the great thing is, since they are meant to be taken off-road, you will see so much more than if you just stick with the paved areas.
