Bring a waterproof pouch for phone and cash - there is a place to buy "Traditional DR Products" - its a bit of a pushy sales pitch - but -everyone's trying to make a buck. The buggy ride itself was super fun - the cave is a 'at your own risk' - we were there during a very crowded time - the visit to Macao beach was lovley - you are in good hands with "Mr. Panda"!”
