Lotta and Zaza were the best!! - You will get dirty. So plan accordingly. But it’s so much fun. Definitely worth all the dirt. You’ll enjoy.

Super Buggy tour in the mud!! Awesome! - Oh my goodness!! We had such a blast in the mud with Amber Cove & Taino Bay Shore Excursion: 2 person Buggy Tour! There were two couples in our group Pepo picked us up at the port, and drove us to and back the ship. Great directions via texts! Frank and his crew took us through every mud puddle and lake he could find! We were lucky that the rain the day of the excursion filled the puddles with the required water!! We had an incredible time!! We have bookmarked this group to do it again on the next trip to DR!!

Best excursion - We had so much fun. It had rained the am of our excursion. So it made for lots of mud. It was so cool to ride though the streets they do and see how they live. Make sure you wear shoes and clothes you are OK with throwing away. We were able to save our shoes but our clothes we threw away. They do have showers to change in and a place to wash off the mud. Make sure you take a full face head mask or bandana. They have them there to by for 5.00 if you forgot it like we did. Over all it was great, the staff was good as well. The stops were really cool and educational. We bought some things along the way and the guides held them so they didn't get muddy.

buggy ride - Make sure you take a mask to put over your mouth. If the rain has been there lately make sure you do wear clothes that you will not need for the rest of your trip.

Good company with great staff - Well organized company with many passionate employees. Pickup information was well communicated several times in advance and company staff worked hard to make the tour enjoyable for everyone. If you don’t want to spend $5 then bring your own goggles and bandannas. Company is located 30 mins from Amber Cove so there’s plenty to time to get back to port if that’s all you’d be doing for the day. Wont have enough time if you try to squeeze another event like city tour. Overall it’s a good company.

Great for Cruise passengers - Communication was great with this company. Lotta messaged me shortly after booking confirming my reservation and to give me her contact information. The day of the cruise she messaged me with pick up information and letting me know there was a time difference. She also got my Whatsapp information where she text me map detailing how to get out of the cruise port. Lastly the morning of she reminded me of the time change and pick up and once again the map. We also stayed in contact until we meet up with our driver. The location is probably less than a 10 minute drive away. So no worries about missing the ship afterwards. The Excursions was DEFINITELY muddy. We hit one puddle and swear I thought I was drowning. one down side to the excursion was the road we were on are used by the public so we had to slow down alot. Then we got stuck behind another dune buggy group and they were super slow. So on a beach stop we hung back a little longer to let them get out of our way. Another thing I wasnt the biggest fan of was the stop where we did the tasting and shopping, I feel like we were there a little too long and we started to get bored. But I think this stop is to let the buggy cool off. All our buggys worked fine no one in our group had any issues. After everything they had outdoor showers and restrooms. And once we were all cleaned up our driver took us back to the cruise port.

Well worth the money. - This was a great trip. They have experience was a lot of fun and I never felt unsafe. They allow you to wash off in a water house when you get back, but I would recommend taking a change of clothes. I would also recommend taking a bandana for your face and ski goggles. If you want, you can rent both of them. You need to take cash to rent these and to pay for the flash drive if you want the pictures.

Plan to get really dirty.... - Plan to get really dirty. We had some issues with logistics with multiple pickup locations and times with the cruise ships docking in different piers. Overall the trip was really fun
