13 tours · €25–€91 per person · ★ 4.8
A countryside safari in Punta Cana is the half day that shows you the island behind the resort wall, and the 13 tours here were picked by hand from every listing rated 4.5★ or higher. Prices run from €25 per person for a short run to a farm with cacao, coffee and a cigar to roll to €91 for a full day that adds horses, a buggy and a lunch table. Most Punta Cana cultural tours follow a truck route through cane fields and villages to Higüey, with its basilica and market, then a farm where the tastings are the point: coffee, chocolate, mamajuana and rum. A few end on Macao Beach or with a buffet.
A quick way to choose: pick the farm alone or the whole circuit, because the shortest tours are tastings with a drive attached while the long ones fill most of a day. Bring cash for souvenirs and the market, and check the pickup list, as some operators charge extra for Cap Cana. The best reviewed countryside tours in Punta Cana come first below.
