Routes & vehicles
Single or double-seat buggies and quad ATVs. Classic 3-hour loop covers Macao surf beach, a local cenote and a chocolate/coffee farm. Premium tours upgrade to RZR side-by-sides and include lunch. From Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana specifically, the timing works because we already know the Cap Cana (Punta Espada Golf villas) lobby pattern and the 8-minute hop to Cap Cana Marina — that's the corridor every buggy trip on this page uses. Golf-villa apartments inside the Punta Espada Golf community — tee time on a Nicklaus signature course before breakfast, shuttle to Juanillo Beach for the afternoon.
What to wear
Closed shoes, sunglasses, sun cream and clothes you don't mind getting dusty. We provide helmets and bandanas. Showers available at the meeting point. For a Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana stay, the day's anchor is the 15-minute window between PUJ and the Juanillo coast. We schedule each buggy trip around that buffer so couples and families staying in this family luxury resort aren't waiting at the gate for someone else's pickup.
Booking from Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana
When Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana guests book a buggy trip with us, the day is built around two fixed timings: the 8-minute hop to Cap Cana Marina and the 15-minute window to PUJ. Because Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana is a family luxury resort, we pre-brief the guide on the lobby layout, the resort's wristband policy, and where to wait so security never asks twice. That's the difference between a smooth pickup and 20 lost minutes at the gate.
Send your dates, group size and room number on WhatsApp
Send your dates, group size and room number on WhatsApp. We confirm pickup time at the hotel lobby, the meeting guide's name, and the cash/card price — usually within minutes, 7am–11pm. Pickup is from the Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana main lobby. We send a confirmation message with the driver's name and plate the evening before. Expect roughly 15 min between PUJ airport and the hotel. We're a Dominican team based in Bávaro. No call centre, no resort kick-back. Your concierge resells the same trips at +30–50% — we put you in touch with the small operators directly.

FAQ
Common questions
Do you pick up at Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana?+
Yes — drivers wait at the Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana main lobby. PUJ airport is about 15 min away, which helps us time pickups precisely.
Which marina do boats leave from for Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana guests?+
Cap Cana Marina — about 8 min from the Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana lobby. We always pick the marina that saves drive time over chasing a slightly cheaper boat further away.
Is a driving licence required?+
No licence needed. Buggies are dune-style with a 5-min briefing. Minimum age to drive is 18; kids ride as passengers. Specifically for Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana guests: pickup is at your lobby, the driver is briefed on the Cap Cana (Punta Espada Golf villas) wristband policy, and the buggy trip runs on the schedule we agreed by WhatsApp.
Will I get muddy?+
Yes — that's the point. Wear clothes you don't mind dusting. We provide goggles, bandanas and showers at the end. From Xeliter Golden Bear Lodge Cap Cana the operational detail is the 8-minute transfer to Cap Cana Marina and the 15-minute window to PUJ — both already built into the buggy trip price you see.
Why not just book at the hotel excursion desk?+
Resort desks resell the same trips with a 30–50% markup and usually push larger group operators. We connect you directly to the small Dominican operators we use for our own family.
Can I pay in cash on the day?+
Yes — USD or DOP, in cash, on pickup. Card and bank transfer also work. No deposit needed for most options.
What languages do guides speak?+
Group tours are bilingual EN/ES. German, French, Italian, Russian and Portuguese guides available on request for private trips.
Can it be private, just for our group?+
