Segway Eco Tour

Description

The BEST way to experience Punta Cana's renowned Ecological Reserve is on a
Segway!

Why visit the Punta Cana Ecological Reserve? It's breathtaking…

Over 40 years ago, Punta Cana Club & Resort set aside 1,500 acres of pristine, emerald forest for scientific research and conservation. And it's a good thing they did! Because, today, visitors can experience this protected acreage in its unspoiled state.

With our non-intrusive Segways (no prior riding experience required!), you'll wind through the wooded paths of the reserve which provides a safe habitat for an abundance of birds, reptiles, insects, and other local flora and fauna.

Now, lean forward as we take you through this natural sanctuary…

From our Segway Base Camp we slowly zip north passed several local greenhouses, a bee farm, a farm animal ranch and a sugar cane plantation/exhibition. Leaving the forest cover east, the scenery opens up to the grounds of the former Punta Cana Hotel and then to the current and luxurious Tortuga Bay Resort and La Cana Golf Course.

Stop 1 Serena Beach. You'll want to take a picture. Bone white sands, turquoise-colored lapping waters and shade bearing palm trees. It's the Caribbean at its most tranquil.

Back on the Segway, we ride north, hugging the tropical coastline and then retracing our path to a typical Dominican country home located on the Reserve.

Stop 2 Typical Home. Learn about Punta Cana's founding. Our guides will give you a short introduction on Punta Cana's infancy and how this destination went from wild, unknown jungle to the Caribbean's tourism capital.

Into the forest once again, we stop to meet a friendly species only found on the island of Hispaniola.

Stop 3 Rhinoceros Iguanas. Endangered and endemic to Hispaniola (the present day island comprised of the Dominican Republic and Haiti), these large land lizards look a bit scary but they're harmless! Pssst, they looooove bread.

Now, it's time to park the Segways but we've saved the best Stop for last!

A short hike takes us into the Indigenous Eyes section of the reserve, a secluded refuge with 12 fresh water lagoons, surrounded by lush vegetation. We only have time to visit one lagoon but a swim in this cool, refreshing spring is an unforgettable experience.

There's a limited amount of Segways permitted in the Reserve so scroll down and reserve yours as soon as possible.

Mini Cooper Tour - making our holiday memorable!!

“The tour was very interesting - we got to see more in one day than we probably would have otherwise. The convertible mini coopers were fun to drive. Lunch was included and very tasty and made up of local favorites. The tour guide was excellent (Leah) and added interesting facts about the sites we saw that were also appreciated. Would highly recommend to others and would do again next time we are in the DR. Thanks for making our holiday memorable!!”

Great day trip to Saona Island!

“I was in Punta Cana with my boyfriend for the weekend and was so glad we took a day trip to Saona Island! We were picked up early in the morning from our resort and it was about an hour's drive to the beach where we'd get on the boat (which is good, because we had time to sleep). We took a catamaran there and really enjoyed it. There was dance music, unlimited rum & coke, "paparazzi" staff to take our pictures, and lots of time to relax and get a tan. When we got to the beach, they gave us an AMAZING barbecue lunch, consisting of grilled pork chops, BBQ chicken, seafood spaghetti, potato salad, seasoned rice, and a bunch of other sides and fruits. The rest of the time I spent napping and swimming on the beach with my boyfriend. I didn't time it but we had a good amount of time on the beach. The sand there is white, clean, and really lovely. After the beach, we got on a speedboat and got out to a flat pool to swim and take pictures with star fish for maybe half an hour. And again we went out to a deeper location so they could throw fish food out of the boat and we could snorkel and look at the schools of fish. After that, they offered to sell us back the "paparazzi" photos they took of us ($40, why not?) which came with photos of you, stock photos of Samoa, and the music they were playing on the catamaran. Overall, it was a super fun experience and I loved it. I want to emphasize that the staff are really fun-loving and the good vibes are infectious! They really do keep you entertained.”

Nice Excursion!

“PROS: We enjoyed the catamaran boat ride, swimming in sand bar area, lunch on the beach, and speed boat ride. The scenery along the way was absolutely beautiful. CONS: We did not like all of the peddling of "junk" by tour operator, high pressure beach peddlers that won't take no for an answer. We also didn't like the lack of soft drinks or beer on the boat and beach - only cheap rum and coke.”
