A Memorable Outing

Jagela_M, Jul 2024

We drove ourselves (just a preference). They have secure parking on the premises. The ATV part of this tour stole the show! We are a family of five and got three ATVs. All worked pretty well, one stopped a couple of times when we went through deeper waters a little too fast- this wasn’t inconvenient and it didn’t take away from the tour, it was SO MUCH FUN! There were only ten of us on this tour, plus the two guides and a photographer- 8 ATVs total- You will go through parts of a stream, a trench, on the road through a small town, etc… so cool! You will stop at a souvenir shop so if you think you’ll buy something, maybe bring a small backpack to take it back. Make sure you wear things you don’t mind getting VERY muddy. I suggest pants (or knee-high socks) and crocks, for ease of washing afterwards. Sunglasses and a bandana could be helpful. Shoutout to the best guides Cuba & Lebron who made this tour an unforgettable adventure! For the horseback riding, we think we had subs for guides 😂 There were only six of us on this tour. Without even asking if any of us had ridden before, the guides said this would be a very laid back ride. Several saddles were loose to the point the rider felt and looked like they were falling off. Guides didn’t seem to know what they were doing…. One went to help my son tighten his saddle and his own horse trotted away! We had to say repeatedly that we wanted to gallop, one of them asked me if that meant fast or slow! Yes, I speak Spanish. Yes, it’s Dominican Spanish ☺️ We eventually galloped for a couple of minutes but the tour was mostly trotting, bunched up, horses were not in the mood- they wanted to walk on the edge of the trail, by trees and branches. Needless to say, we don’t remember those guides’ names. My recommendation is for you to ask for experienced guides for both tours ahead of time! They definitely have some! Our photo guy, Frandy, did his best. Digital photo-deal can get very expensive bc price is per person. But make sure you negotiate (haggle!) with the “photo company”. Also, ask if you can see the pictures first; we didn’t and wish we had bc maybe we would’ve tried to pay even less. The food at the end was delicious and plentiful. We also had access to the pool and grounds but left bc we wanted to go to the beach. Everybody was very friendly.

Great experience

Would highly recommend. Very professional and organized we had a great time. Food was absolutely amazing after having resort food for a few days we really enjoyed it, everyone was so personable from pick up to drop off and everything in between

Great tour. The atv ride...

Arneedia_D, Feb 2024

Great tour. The atv ride was challenging but fun. Love the peace of the horse back riding. Highly recommend. Staff was phenomenal.

A lot of fun

Aline_G, Jan 2023

Well organized, friendly staff. They red ( single ones) ATV s are old , stopped all the time. The smoke from the engine are really bad. The double ones ( black) are great. Works well and feel more security. My group ( people) experienced both, over all a lot of fun. The staff was so friendly and helpful.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thanks for sharing your review. We’re very sorry that during your excursion the ATV’s had some mechanical issues. We can assure you that our mechanics keep the ATV’s well maintained, however we understand that it can be upsetting when yours start failing on a tour. However, the guides always have 2 additional ATV’s on a tour to replace them in case one starts failing. Once again, we apologize for the inconvenience. Please let us know when you’re back in Puerto Plata so we can make it up to you again!

Christian_D, Dec 2022

Some of the red ATVs were too old and have some mechanical problems, definitely need to replace them! The black ones were better and some were very new! The people are very nice and polite, food was great! I wish we could speed up a little with the ATVs and with the horses!
