Half-Day Buggy Guided Adventure for Amber Cove and Taino Bay

Kelly_W, Aug 2026

Amber Cove Buggy/ATV

This excursion was so awesome! The tour guides were friendly, did an amazing job at picking us up outside port, had a list with the riders names, the location of the ATV/Buggies was only about 7 minutes away from boat. We splashed thru several water holes (no mud since it’s summer time), went on tour to cigar store, tasted mamajuana and coffee and then had about a 30 minutes dip in the beach. It was approximately 2.5 hrs in total…oh and the have a bar and food truck on the premises if you wanted and snacks

You’re treated like royalty! BOOK IT!

First of all, we were late and they were very accommodating and greeted us with open arms, smiles, and a ice cold water of bottle (which was appreciated after running to the meet up spot). From the start, it was awesome. The women greeted us with a smile, a nice AC van, and just taken care of us hand and foot the whole day for us, our family and children. When we went to zip line, you can tell they knew everyone and we were put in the front of the lines for zip lining, food, and more. The lunch is a buffet style but THAT FOOD IS AMAZING! We were Treated like royalty all day. Chocolate the photographer was amazing. He kept up with the hike, the kids, and got every moment from start to finish. He was awesome! Good things to know about this excursion: The meet up spot is about a 20-25 minute walk which ends up outside Amber Cove Port at a van (you’re going to think you’re lost but keep going). Water shoes are mandatory at the zip line spot so make sure you bring them (they have some for sale $20 and rent $5 - but they are rough and not comfortable) Their is about a 45 minute hike which is not for the faint, so if you have a person who is old, overweight, or even a young kid who isn’t athletically inclined - you’re going to be carrying them. (You do stop multiple times which helps catching your breath, taking a sip of water, and getting pictures). Bring cash for tips (they expect it but deserve it) ALL IN ALL - BOOK THIS EXCURSION! You and your family regret it!

Great Time!

We enjoyed this excursion we did not find the hiking as taxing. We are 26 and 29 and were able to do it in decent shape. Yes there is many stairs and it would be hard for young children but it’s manageable for everyone else. Just be ready to jump into the water, highest jump was 21 feet so be ready to do it!

This is THE tour for Puerta Plata

This was THE best excursion we have ever done, and it was our first with Viator. Jahaziel was an incredible tour guide and allowed us to see more than just the "tourist" part of Puerta Plata. We had coffee made by a local grandmother, visited a country store, visited a cigar factory, Umbrella Street, and the chocolate factory. I highly recommend this tour to others. He is a great guy!

Celia_V, Aug 2026

Amazing and affordable tour

Gustavo was amazing! We had our own vehicle and he let us customize the tour to what worked best for us. We wanted to try some local cuisine also so he added in a stop on the water. Next time we are in the DR we will absolutely be requesting him. The walk to the vans is further than you would think so if you have mobility restraints just keep that in mind.

Danielle_W, Aug 2026

Book this! You won’t regret it

This was the best experience ever! The guides were awesome! We got picked up outside cruise port so it was a bit of walk but worth it. They provided lockers for your things. They will get wet and muddy ALL OF IT WILL. Bring water shoes, cash and phones for photos. Leave the rest. Goggles are an extra $5. You make a couple of stops. First one they give you some island education and samples of tea, mamajuna, and fruit from the island. There are shops and drinks for purchase here as well. A bit pricey. But remember this is how they make a living. The second stop is at beach where I ran like crazy to jump in. Water was beautiful. There’s food and drinks for purchase here. The food is fantastic as always. Mofungo, ceviche, fresh fish. I will definitely do this again when I go back!

Worth the trip

excellent trip. First you will meet the guides , about 10 minute walk easy to find . Next is a trip into your destination about 30 minutes. next you will go the falls. Recommend durable water shoes it is very rocky, preferably one that you can walk in. You will walk approximately 15 minutes with graded elevation then to the falls. You can rent lockers or keep your things with the driver. You can also wear sneakers.

AMBER COVE-TAINO BAY Super Buggy Tour

Kevin_L, Jun 2026

Great time!!

Great adventure to see areas you never see. There are not a lot of times where you go full throttle in the biggie, but several times to get wet. Visiting the native town was a great experience and the beach was a nice way to end the day. Staff was amazing. They were informative and attentive the whole time. I am a taller guy, they refused to let me stay crammed in the buggy and brought a bigger one out for us to use to make it more enjoyable.
