Las Terrenas as the starting point
Las Terrenas is the base of RAID CARAIBES SSV. Camp Can-Am on Avenida Emilio Prud’Homme welcomes participants, runs the briefing, provides equipment and prepares departures.
Which landscapes can you discover?
The Samaná Peninsula combines coastline, elevation, tropical vegetation, villages and rural tracks. Exact routes evolve with weather, track condition, group size and logistics.
A short ride or a raid?
For a short tourist activity, a local excursion may be enough. RAID CARAIBES SSV is for travelers who want a 7, 10 or 13-day stay with multiple raid days, lodging, meals, transfers and assistance.
Arrival and transfers
Participants state their arrival point in the enquiry. The organization then confirms transfer feasibility from the relevant airport or city, including Santo Domingo, Punta Cana or Puerto Plata.
What level is required?
Beginners may be accepted. An ability test and briefing take place before driving. A valid car licence, minimum age of 18 and compliance with instructions are mandatory.
How do you book?
Check scheduled departures or request a private raid from 3 drivers. The right package depends on the number of days, desired commitment and pace.
The first day at Camp Can-Am
Arrival is used to settle participants, check documents and explain the organization. The briefing covers the vehicle, safety rules, group communication and the overall schedule. The ability test then confirms that the driver controls the necessary basics before entering the tracks.
Varied terrain rather than one fixed circuit
The appeal of Las Terrenas and Samaná lies in their variety. Depending on conditions, a day may combine tropical roads, elevation, rural tracks, coastal areas and more technical sections. The route is adjusted to balance discovery, driving and safety.
Lodging and recovery
Lodging is included. Camp Can-Am has a chic bohemian atmosphere, while stage accommodation is selected according to the route. Website photos are representative; exact locations may change with the period, group and availability.
Discovery, Grand or Expedition
Discovery Raid suits a first immersion. Grand Raid adds more driving days and stages. Expedition Raid is the longest and most demanding format. The best choice depends on available time, desired experience and preferred intensity.
Private groups and custom dates
A group of at least three drivers can request a private departure. Each driver books a private buggy and may ride alone or with a companion. This option makes it possible to choose a period that suits the group, subject to vehicle, lodging and team availability. It is particularly suitable for friends, families or companies that want to share the same adventure.
What the experience includes
The package is not limited to driving. It includes planned transfers, welcome, the vehicle, fuel, driver kit, meals, non-alcoholic drinks, lodging, photos, assistance and guidance. This organization makes it possible to experience Las Terrenas and Samaná as a genuine off-road journey rather than a collection of separate activities.
Practical advice before arrival
Prepare a valid licence, travel documents, closed footwear and light clothing for time away from the vehicle. Report any limitation or question before departure. Final information about arrival, transfers, equipment and lodging is confirmed once the booking and operational feasibility have been validated.
Choosing the right intensity
Discovery Raid provides a progressive introduction to the RAID CARAIBES SSV universe. Grand Raid increases the number of stages and driving time. Expedition Raid is the most complete and committed format. Before booking, consider your available time, previous experience, desire to drive each day and group configuration. The team can guide the choice using this information.
