A wonderful experience - We had the time of our lives on these ATVs! Our guide was amazing in all the ways! If we are ever in Puerta plata again, we’re coming back 😌

Family Fun - The staff were so friendly and attentive. This excursion was the definition of going above-and-beyond. We had a family of four, at all experience levels, and we were all able to have fun! It’s the best way to experience the jungle, towns and beach, while having the fun and excitement of driving ATVs. Truly impressed.

Exciting and Adventurous - I've been on many ATV excursions and this was by far one the the best. This was the longest actual ride I've ever experienced

Roadrunner Mount Up! - Excellent tour! Pick up and drop off were on time! Communication started about a week in advance with instructions for pick up. Location was less than 5 mins from the ship. Track that we rode was not too long or too short but just right! We rode through some water and mud but still managed not to get as dirty! Would absolutely go again and recommend again. Money well spent. 2 adults and 3, 17 year old teenagers!

Book Now!! Do Not Pass Up!! - Best tour/excursion on our whole vacation! We had an awesome time riding ATV’s through town, back country, to the jungle, and out to the beach. Super cool beach and the jungle was awesome for quick gifts to support the community and a cultural experience with coffee, cigars, and chocolate. Our guide Chris was the best! He made the tour so much more amazing he was charismatic, fun, and knowledgeable. Stopping throughout the tour to show us local growing agriculture and telling us about the island and sharing about his life. We would literally go do this tour again and again anytime we visit Amber Cove for the ATV’s and Chris! This is a must do!! Great value, great fun! Stop by the bar after for drinks or waters all the staff working there is kind and attentive : )

Enjoyable - The excursion was fun. The guide was amazing. Glad we did it. We did have some issues returning to Tanio Bay because most of the came from the Amber Cove port. So we had to wait for over an hour until more passengers finished their excursion before we could leave. My husband’s leg was also burnt by the muffler. I felt the heat too but I had on leggings.

Nice scenery, great people! - Very professional company for a shore excursion. They communicated clearly and pick up from Amber Cove was easy and on time. After a quick trip in an open air truck, we arrived at the tour start point. There are bathrooms and lockers here if you need to store any belongings or want to change clothing. Here we were fitted with helmets and goggles and given a safety briefing before we headed out on the ATVs. The ATV tour took us through town and out into the country and through the jungle. We stopped at a little village where were were able to try hot chocolate, Mama Juana and see cigars being rolled. The sales people here were all super friendly albeit it somewhat pushy, and I feel their souvenirs were way overpriced. After our stop we got back on the ATV's and traveled to a small beach area with a view of our cruise ship. You do have the opportunity to swim here, but honestly the beach wasn't that nice and we were content just to take a few pics. We then got back on the ATVs and returned to our starting point. Once back we had an opportunity to buy drinks from a little bar area and purchase digital photos. The staff for the company were great from start to finish. The scenery was beautiful and we loved learning a little about Dominican culture. The ATV ride itself was VERY slow and not at all exciting. We rarely hit speeds above 10mph. I am not sure if this is typical or if it was because the other people who were in the tour weren't comfortable on the machines. If you are an experienced rider, you won't be impressed. All in all it was a good experience just not exactly what we were expecting.

Not as promised - The tour did not last as long as promised. The ride only lasted about an hour and a half and time from pick up to drop off was two hours and 45 minutes. More time was wasted on trying to sell pictures and souvenirs than the actual ride.
