Punta Cana and Bávaro → Macao

Pickup

The listing includes hotel pickup and return.

Timing

The exact duration appears on the booking card.

A day of local culture

On the way you stop in the center of Bávaro for fresh coconut water and an empanada. In Macao the tour visits a local estate to see how coffee and cacao are worked, and ends with lunch. It is a relaxed outing, more about seeing and tasting than physical activity.

Beach and market

The tour has 30 minutes of free time on Macao Beach and half an hour at the Mercado Macao. That is just enough to swim and look at the crafts, not to spend the day on the sand. If you want a beach day, look at the Saona Island excursions.

Who it suits and what to bring

The listing does not state a minimum age, and the pace is easy. Lunch includes rice with beans, grilled chicken or fish and tostones. Bring a swimsuit for the beach and some cash for the market.
