Fun and Professional!!

Great pickup outside the port. Very professional and courteous. At the venue there were lots of help getting ready and geared up. Nice ride through the beach, jungle and mud pits. Shower facilities and changing room were private and nice and clean. We have been on other buggys in Amber cove with way more mud pits and got VERY dirty. It was an enjoyable morning and recommended. Wear OLD clothes and bring a change for after!

Fun for all

During the wet season make sure you bring water shoes, wear a bathing suite and any bag you bring with you ensure it’s water proof. I would suggest a handkerchief, goggles or sunglasses to keep the dust out of your eyes and mouth. Bring some cash with you too if you’d like to purchase pictures and souvenirs.

Muddy Delight

This was a decent tour. We went through 3 muddy areas. The stop to the stores was small and limited. The beach stop was probably one of the dirtiest beaches I've been to. The staff was nice but our buggy breaks hardly worked and my seat belt kept unfasting. My husband and I had fun but there was definitely safety concerns.

Beautiful jungle, great ride, DOGS TO PET

Had a great time! A solid ride through the beautiful jungle, some mud, and a Dominican village. Everyone was very friendly. Lots of nice dogs running around at the facility to pet. Great communication ahead of time via Lotta. Excursion was not too long, not too short. Most of the ride was at low speed, but still fun. A great way to experience one of the most beautiful Caribbean islands. Will def do again!
