Off-road buggy and ATV adventures with pickup at your hotel lobby. Macao beach, cenotes, sugar cane trails and rum-and-cigar tastings. Tailored for Tortuga Bay Villas guests staying in Tortuga Bay, Puntacana Resort (Leading Hotels villas) — pickup organised at your lobby, paid in cash or card on arrival. Tortuga Bay Villas sits on the Punta Cana Village coast — a 5-star Relais & Châteaux property about 5 min from PUJ and 18 min from Cabeza de Toro, the marina we use for most boat departures. Oscar de la Renta-designed Tortuga Bay villas inside Puntacana Resort — beachfront 1–4BR units with private golf-cart, butler and PUJ private lounge access.

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 Tortuga Bay Villas specifically, the timing works because we already know the Tortuga Bay, Puntacana Resort (Leading Hotels villas) lobby pattern and the 18-minute hop to Cabeza de Toro — that's the corridor every buggy trip on this page uses. Oscar de la Renta-designed Tortuga Bay villas inside Puntacana Resort — beachfront 1–4BR units with private golf-cart, butler and PUJ private lounge access.
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 Tortuga Bay Villas stay, the day's anchor is the 5-minute window between PUJ and the Punta Cana Village coast. We schedule each buggy trip around that buffer so couples and families staying in this 5-star Relais & Châteaux property aren't waiting at the gate for someone else's pickup.
Booking from Tortuga Bay Villas
When Tortuga Bay Villas guests book a buggy trip with us, the day is built around two fixed timings: the 18-minute hop to Cabeza de Toro and the 5-minute window to PUJ. Because Tortuga Bay Villas is a 5-star Relais & Châteaux property, 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 Tortuga Bay Villas main lobby. We send a confirmation message with the driver's name and plate the evening before. Expect roughly 5 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 Tortuga Bay Villas?+
Yes — drivers wait at the Tortuga Bay Villas main lobby. PUJ airport is about 5 min away, which helps us time pickups precisely.
Which marina do boats leave from for Tortuga Bay Villas guests?+
Cabeza de Toro — about 18 min from the Tortuga Bay Villas 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 Tortuga Bay Villas guests: pickup is at your lobby, the driver is briefed on the Tortuga Bay, Puntacana Resort (Leading Hotels 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 Tortuga Bay Villas the operational detail is the 18-minute transfer to Cabeza de Toro and the 5-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?+
Yes — almost everything on this page has a private upgrade (own boat, own buggy, own driver). Ask us on WhatsApp.
