Morning Thrills in Anamuya

Kick off your summer adventure in Anamuya with a morning full of excitement and cultural immersion. On May 31st, start your day with the Punta Cana Safari Tour from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM. This guided day trip takes you through the Dominican countryside aboard a safari-style vehicle, offering breathtaking views of the Anamuya mountains. As you journey through this lush landscape, you’ll visit an old sugar plantation and witness the art of cigar rolling by seasoned artisans. The tour also includes a visit to a Dominican home, where you can engage with a local family and savor traditional delicacies like ripe tropical fruits, freshly made organic coffee, and authentic cacao.

The tour is not just about sightseeing; it’s an immersive cultural experience. You’ll learn about the history and methods of sugar harvesting and get a taste of the local lifestyle. A midday meal at a hilltop eatery offers a sumptuous buffet with cold beer, smooth rum, and a variety of soft drinks. As one reviewer noted on February 19, 2025, “The tastings and education of the culture, cocoa, coffee, and tobacco were done well and informative.”

Afternoon Adventures at Macao Beach

As the day progresses and the clouds begin to part, head over to Macao Beach for an afternoon of adrenaline-pumping activities. On both May 31st and June 1st, from 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM, you can dive into the Macao Beach Adventure. This excursion offers a thrilling combination of jungle buggies, ziplining, and horseback riding. Feel the rush as you zip line through 16 towers and platforms, soar up to 60 feet off the ground, and enjoy panoramic views of the mountain countryside.

The adventure doesn’t stop there. You’ll also have the chance to ride through trails between ranches and hills on horseback, and take a buggy ride through dirt roads, hills, and even a river for a refreshing dip. After all the excitement, enjoy a traditional Dominican meal prepared homestyle, with options like white rice, beans, fried chicken, and slow-cooked beef. A reviewer on January 23, 2025, shared, “The price you pay for this overall experience was definitely worth it! Our tour guide was very attentive to our needs and very thorough with his explanations.”

Evening Relaxation and Cultural Exploration

As the sun begins to set, the weather cools down, making it the perfect time to unwind and soak in the local culture. On May 31st, after a day full of adventure, consider taking a leisurely stroll through the streets of Anamuya. The evening brings a return to partial cloudiness, providing a comfortable atmosphere for outdoor dining or simply enjoying the vibrant local scene.

Visit local eateries to sample more of the Dominican cuisine or find a cozy spot to enjoy a drink as you reflect on the day’s adventures. The high UV index earlier in the day means you’ll have plenty of stories to share about your sun-soaked experiences. Whether you’re recounting the thrill of ziplining or the cultural insights gained from the safari tour, Anamuya offers a perfect blend of excitement and relaxation to kick off your summer in style.
