Flintstone Buggy Excursion

After picking up other clients from nearby hotels they drive to the Flintstone Buggy Adventure Ranch which is located 2km of the center of Bavaro, this guarantees a minimum of transportation time.

After arriving at the Ranch the clients receive a short briefing in which we explain the few rules we have and how to drive the buggy. Safety is our number one concern, so every guest has to wear a (very light) safety helmet which they also need for the visit to our caves. The "Flintstone Buggy Trail" has a length of 10kilometers (about 6.25miles) and takes the guests through a variety of vegetation and rock/hill formations, it leads straight through the countryside, and seeing some donkeys, cows, horses, sheep, and pigs is guaranteed!

After about 25 minutes of driving (2 kilometers before the caves) the clients have a stop for some water and they can taste some real Dominican coffee and chocolate in an authentic "countryside supermarket" which is called Colmado. The clients stay at this Colmado for about 10 minutes and then continue the adventure; here the trail gets even more "rough" and "wild", and there are some spectacular views of the "cliffs" that have been formed over millions of years.

When they arrive at the cave, the buggies are parked and the clients walk to the entrance of the cave where the bar and the restrooms are. Here they will receive a short briefing of about 5 minutes about the rules in the caves.

First, they enter the large cave (Fantasy Cave) and walk almost to the end (about 300mtrs/900yards) through magnificent and huge illuminated stalactites and stalagmites accompanied by background music. This is not a commercial cave therefore the path has bumps and uneven parts and is not straight; minimum changes have been made so the cave keeps its natural authenticity.

During the walk our guide will tell some interesting facts about the cave and its rock formations. The total time for the visit of this cave is about 25 minutes.

When the clients return and are almost at the beginning of the Fantasy Cave, they go up the stairs to Bedrock City! Bedrock City is another group of caves that are located above the large cave, a rare combination and therefore unique! Why the name Bedrock City? Well, here you see the villa of Fred Flintstone, the garage with the Flintstone Mobile, the Bedrock Gym, RocDonalds, an ancient ATM, and the Bowl-O-Rama, based on the popular cartoon and the movie with John Goodman and Hale Berry.

The visit to Bedrock City will take about 15 minutes and when the clients come back from this wonderful experience they can enjoy a refreshment at the bar at the entrance of the cave and sit down and relive this magical adventure.
