Amazing time & Awesome Staff - I’m so happy we booked this excursion. It was so much fun. Someone reached out beforehand and texted us directions for the meet up spot and included photos so we knew exactly where to go. It was a short walk from the cruise terminal. Caliente and Coli were great guides. They gave us clear instructions and guided us around the route. We got so dirty but it was so much fun. We stopped at a little shopping area where they provided us with free fruit and samples of Dominican coffee and chocolate. We also stopped at a secluded beach to clean off and it was gorgeous. I wish we could’ve stayed there all day. I did a similar excursion with another company at Amber Cove/Puerta Plata a few years ago and this excursion was wayyy better. The price was better and the dune buggies were in great condition. I highly recommend this excursion and would probably do it again.

Great outdoor experience - Booked this excursion outside of the cruise line. Directions very clear on where and when to meet. Guides were organized and on time. We had 3 kids ages 7,13, and 14 with only 2 adult so the staff was able to take our third child in the buggy with them. We were very grateful for this! The tour was a total of 2 hours on the buggy. We had a stop at a small gift shop and tried some Dominican coffee, chocolate, and mamajuana. We then headed to a small beach area. The tour was very fun and muddy! You will get very dirty and soaking wet so be prepared. Lots of fun and would do again!

Unorganized - My tour time was changed 3 times. Then we still waited over an additional hour to the last tour time we were given. Every thing was unorganized upon arrival and departure. Got us back to the port with only 25 minutes to run back to the ship due to they do not drop you off back in the port they drop you off on the outside of the gate which is a good 15 to 20 min walk. The tour only was 2 hours all though it says it was supposed to be 3 hours.
