Later their was time for a Dominican meal and a swim in the river.
There was a visit to a local `magic man` on the way home for a photo opportunity!

Finally you get to visit Macao Beach although bear in mind there is a lack of a habitable bathroom by the beach!
NB:the roads can be very bumpy so it is not recommended for those with a bad back!
Zip Line [through Bavaro Runners]
Punta Cana trips
The zip line tour will take you into the hills. After about one hour you arrive at the destination and enjoy zip lines of between 65 meters to 250 meters.
This is more of an beginner-intermediate course but the place is fantastic with the opportunity to climb to some well built tree houses as you begin the adventure.
The staff are great fun and will keep you laughing the whole way. This was great fun!
4 Wheel Adventure(65 US):
Having been collected from the resort, it was about a 45-minute trip.
This excursion lasted for around 2 hours and included a visit to a cave with a 25-30 foot deep pool of water. There was the opportunity to dive into the pool and enjoy this special place. Children seemed to particularly enjoy it!
We then moved on Macao beach for some swimming. A DVD was available for [as the trip was filmed by a tour guide] at a cost of 30US.
