Sensational, unforgettable - We have been travelling for some time and this is by far the best excursion we have been able to make. Both in the sensations with the buggy and in the discovery of Dominican life. I simply loved this trip and recommend it 100%.

Incredible and authentic experience - My family and I took two excursions. One relating to the buggy activity as well as that on the island of Saona.
The buggy activity was extraordinary! We drove through sugar cane fields, in a small village, near a lake…
The sensation had a taste of adrenaline, surprise and admiration of the republican world around us. This activity was led by Justine, who comes to us from Belgium! The sun was burning and she made our day brighter!
She is a very sunny, endearing, smiling person, who taught us a lot of things during this outing. We felt safe and we had a lot of fun! If you are considering and wish to carry out this experience alone, as a couple, with family or friends, you need Justine on your team!!
As for the second excursion, the landscapes were heavenly and soothing! Joy and morale were a certainty on the boat. Everyone was dancing and making us dance!
With them, we don't miss anything and certainly don't miss out on dehydration. They served us rum, soft drinks and water continuously!
There was even a photographer, who never misses an opportunity to capture these unforgettable moments!!
We thank all the Dominican attitude team for their services, their good humor, their patience and their knowledge!
See you soon !

An amazing buggy experience - We found our taxi driver at the port and he took us through a village to a little ranch area where our buggies were ready to go. You get a lot of time to drive while visiting the sugar cane fields and seeing the beautiful landscape. Sometimes you go through some mud puddles and getting muddy was very fun for us. You go through some villages but overall you feel safe because you are in a buggy and can go faster if you want. This puts you in the middle of the village at times and you get to see the culture.
After driving and getting muddy, we ended up relaxing in a beautiful river. The river felt great and was a good place to clean up. We finished at a local hut for some food and drinks. The food was really good and you can see some of it in the pictures. We all loved it.
The communication was good from the start. We loved our guides and for a small time they were part of the family. They laughed and had a great time with us. This was a great excursion and a fun time for a private group.

Racist/horrible - I have traveled the world extensively, many countries, many cultures. This was the absolute worst tour I’ve been on. I paid $500 for my black American family to go on this tour, we were the ONLY black people on this entire tour. When we arrived we were immediately told we had to be at the very back. The buggy did not work, it had obvious mechanical issues (visibly cut wires, broken steering wheel, would not drive above 10mph) but we were told it was fine and to get over it. Then the person helping with seatbelts physically grabbed my leg and moved it against my will as well as my mother’s arm to move her out of the way. As the buggy part of the tour went on we experienced THREE mechanical failures that put even further behind everyone and the tour guide left us behind. When we finally got back with the rest of the group after having a tire burst, and 2 engine failures, we were able to shower and get all of the caked on mud off. Then we joined the group for lunch where we’re told by the company to sit at an isolated table that was far away from the rest of the group. It was completely segregated. This is literally the worst experience I’ve had on any vacation or any of my travels. They did not listen to any of the very legitimate issues we had and kept passing us off like we were dirt. I will never recommend Dominican Attitude Excursions to any Black person or anyone that does not condone outright racism. 6 hours of being left behind, ignored, and treated as less than. This tour was a Time Machine back to slavery rather than fun excursion to experience. $500 wasted to be treated as 3/5ths of a human. Do not ever waste your money here.
