ATV staff were friendly and knowledgeable. They treated us with care from beginning to end. The guy in charge spoke English. The views riding around the island were so beautiful. We also stopped at a local beach that had food/drink and souvenir stands. Be prepared to get dusty and a little wet. Take the goggles and mouth covering when offered. Wear close toed water shoes. Overall the ATV experience was a lot of fun! I highly recommend it!

Great time had, definitely recommend! Workers were very kind and helpful when needed. My favorite part was the stop at the beach to swim around and enjoy our time. Can’t wait to visit again!

At the main gate, Johnny greeted us. Warmly brought us into the area for ATVs. From there. Jose took us on a beautiful unimaginable exploration, explained the culture and what was around and the muse are superb. I highly recommend coming. If you're thinking about coming or doing it, do it
Response from Host, May 2026
Hello, good morning, how are you? Thank you for your visit. We hope to see you again next time. Thank you.
Gary_S, May 2026
Lots of fun. Only problem was finding the pick-up place. Long walk and had to ask multiple people along the way
Leslie_C, May 2026
Great experience with this tour. We loved the ride and the guide Jose was amazing! Would suggest this tour to everybody.

First let me start by saying I'm a very experienced rider as I use to own a 2015 can am renegade 1000xxc and currently own a 2025 850 xmr. I was a mechanic at one time so I also fix, rebuild and maintain my machines as well as my friends and other people.
Now my observations of the machines. Some only had 1 brake light or none working, 1 couple had oil spraying on their leg from the motor, another person had brake fluid leaking all over his hands from the brake line at the hand brake. Rear brake lines were cut and disconnected, clutch was disabled. For those that dont know this means the atv is always in gear, no nutral so if you bump the gas too hard the atv will lunge forward. Tires were all compleatly bald and some were cracked well past minimum safety.
As for the excursion, you get nothing that's advertised. No safety brief what so ever. I dont care as I'm experienced but 9 of the 11 in our group had never ridden and kept asking my friend and myself things that should have been said in a basic safety brief. All that was said was use gas to get up hills and brakes when going down. They also put couples together on a single rider atv which is very unsafe! Now none of this is even what bothered me. The worst is coming....so the whole trip is going down a dusty trash infested road to a small shack where the merchants try to sell you things at ridiculous prices like a wooden bottle opener for $30 usd then get angry when you decline. Next you go to a spot that you can take a picture with a cruise ship in the distance. Next to a beach with more vendors asking way too much, not willing to barter and actually charging money to use the porta potty!
Lastly you leave there and go back to the starting where they try to sell you pictures and videos one of their staff took on the ride.
This is what pisses me off, I paid $111 cdn for this trip that was supposed to take me to some chocolate place, through a refreshing river and jungle / forest area and more that's listed in their description. NOTHING!! ADVERTISED other than a bottle of water handed out actually took place! Pure false advertising!
After my friends wife put a negative review the owner of the business started messaging her to take the review down and apologize for it because in his mind it's uncalled for plus this is a small business that he is trying to support his family with. Next he sent another message saying he is a atv racer and his atvs are in fine shape...so let me get this straight dominican according to him doesn't allow people to have atvs any larger then a 300cc and the police have 350cc ones. Dude we ride regularly 850 and 1000cc your bikes are what we let kids ride back home so don't tell us you're a racer.
Next her husband requested a refund from Viator only to receive a message from the atv owner saying Viator will refuse him. Then Viator replied to him saying the refund was refused by the merchant so even Viator is not a reputable provider avoid all of this by booking through a representative at your resort or from your cruise line and save yourself from being scammed like we got scammed.

I am going to give you a straight up honest review. The good BAD and UGLY.
Tour guides were very polite and nice.
I'm going to start off by saying my husband and I ride atvs back home. We are very experienced! This tour started off with a pick up from the hotel. That all went great as planned. But once we arrived to the place we all we saw was dilapidated atvs! EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND IN ILL REPAIR! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! Im surprised I even got on it myself. The tires are balding on all atvs. Most worn bare through the middle. Some tires were cracked! I can't even believe I'm having to review like this. The brake light assemblies on many were broken. Physically and electric. Broken casings non working brake lights. Crooked atvs!! 100% they need new bearings in the tires! Rear brake lines cut. Differentials non functioning right. Fluids leaking out of MANY of them. There were 7 riders in our group. The fluid started spraying out on some poor ladies feet. They had to change atvs with the tour guide. The camber on the wheels were completely messed up causing the front wheels to splay out way too much. The back wheels wobbled like crazy! The throttle is very hard to push. I am surprised a wheel didnt fly off one of these. I am mortified by the condition of these. Its unbelievable! At home have maintain our own quads every few rides. These probably haven't been serviced in a long time if ever. My husband's quad actually shut off while riding!! What in the heck!?! Also we were using bicycle helmets!!! Useless if we actually had an accident.
They put 2 people on a quad made for 1 it's not legal. At least not in north America! It throw the balance off of the quad creating tipping hazards.
They gave ZERO SAFETY TRAINING! We personally did not need it but there were first time riders there. My husband and I found ourselves giving safety advice. How can they do this in good conscious?! We were thanked by many risers for helping them with safety questions. Literally the only instructions giving were accelerate up the mountain and brake going down the mountain. Insane!
Now let's get straight into the misrepresentation of the whole advert for this tour.
There was NO going through rivers and water. Which was a part I was looking forward to. Initially they brought us to some small sandy area by some not so desirable water. We sat there for 2 minutes on the sand and then left and since the tires were so bald it was hard to get moment on the sound. One lady slide a little sideways down a small sand hill and couldn't get traction to move so the tour guide had to push it to help. We went on some dirt roads and there was alot of litter/garbage by the sides of the roads. We didnt do any trails just dusty dirt roads. They ended up bringing us to a beach that was full of rocks, sticks and had garbage on it. I have pictures. Also there was no one rolling cigars at all. There's was no hot chocolate tasting as stated or coffee tasting. Literally nothing. This whole whole experience was driving a severely delapitated atv up dirt roads. It was awful and 5 out of the 7 people we spoke too thought it was just as bad and unsafe. There was literally guests that were scared to ride these things. On the beach the locals were trying to sell us way overpriced alcohol and cigars. It was actually ridiculous and insulting that they think we're so stupid that we would pay those prices for what they were offering.
I'm incredibly disappointed my husband and I spent over $200 for this tour. Honestly I wish I could have my money back but I know thats probably not possible.
This is 100% truthful review. Im sorry I had to leave this review but in good consciousness I had to. Please be very wary for your safety and the misrepresentation of this tour.
Response from Host, May 2026
Good day, how are you sir? Why do such damage to a business? Please, that's unnecessary because it's not true that the tire is bad. You can't compare your private motorcycle with a company's.
Wayne_M, Apr 2026
The vendor collected us on time at the exit to the cruise terminal. The ATVs were a bit run down and need upgrade. The route we were taken on was interesting and included a stop at a cigar maker and a short beach stop. Definitely fun.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Friend, please delete that comment. If you look, the only negative comment is yours. Please, this business is to help the boys study and to support our father and family.
Carol_H, Apr 2026
Atv clearly stated not safe for passengers. We paid for 2 atvs which were each supposed to carry 2 people. They gave us 1 atv that carried 1 person safely. Had sticker stating passenger could cause tipping over of machine; Brake did not work. Very unsafe! I was grateful to get off without injury! Does not live up to viator standards. If this was my 1st viator, I would never use viator again!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Hello, good afternoon, how are you? Please, I don't think it's necessary to make that comment. Please delete it because in the end they went on the excursion and everything turned out well. Please delete it, thank you.
Carol_H, Apr 2026
I paid for 2 x 2 person atvs. They have me a single at that clearly stated it was not safe to have a second passenger. This at. Backfired constantly and the breaks did not work. VERY UNSAFE! you're guide had limited English and did not rectify situation
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Good afternoon, how are you? Please, if you want to delete that comment, why not? It doesn't do much harm. ATVs are for two people, I don't think it's fair to leave two negative comments. Did you do the excursion?
Destiny_F, Apr 2026
They were amazing! Very sweet and Jhonny was amazing. Would definitely recommend. You stop places and they take pictures for you.

Response from Host, Apr 2026
Good afternoon, how are you? Thank you for visiting. We hope to see you soon. Blessings.
Robin_H, Mar 2026
If you want a fun day with excellent guides. I highly recommend this. Johnny picked us up at the cruise ship and delivered us back pointing out highlights along the way.
Please felt completely safe with our ATV guides and truly had a memorable day.
The only thing I was surprised at is they charge an additional $25 if you want copies of the ATV pictures that are taken along the way.
Aidan_H, Feb 2026
Well worth the money. An amazing few hours experiencing the local culture. Jose was a great guide that made sure we were safe and had a great time.
Fernando_R, Jan 2026
We went through rivers and backroads into the countryside... we saw beautiful vistas! If you like speed and exhilarating fun you should give it a try. Just make sure to way to wear water shoes or you shoes you don't mind getting muddy.
Tricia_V, Dec 2025
We had soooo much fun .we’ve never been on ATV ‘s before, my 18 year old drove us .puerto plata is a beautiful place and the people are very friendly thanks guys. We had an awesome trip.!
Sherri_D, Dec 2025
We had a 8:30 am, 3 hour ATV excursion booked. After walking outside the gate which took about 20 minutes, we inquired with some of the other excursion drivers where to go. They were kind enough to call the number on our printed ticket papers. Turns out our transportation was not there yet. After waiting awhile, a gentlemen told us he would take us to where the ATV place is. We then had a young man leading our ATV PACK OF “two”! Just is! An older gentlemen followed us. We enjoyed this excursion. At one point we swam in the water for about 25 minutes and we were the only people around. The entire trip only lasted about 2 hours probably due to the fact that it was just the two of us, but we loved having our own “private” trip.
Latisha_C, Dec 2025
Don’t wear anything that you do want to get dirty. Bring swim under your clothes for the beach, Get ready to have great time
Mistie_G, Nov 2025
This was well worth the price and such a fun experience… if you’re on the fence about booking it…BOOK IT!!!!
They make sure you have a great time and even get video and pics as well l!
Kassandra_W, Nov 2025
The ATV’s are not well maintained. They were hard to steer. Felt pressured to purchase items I didn’t want. The director of the group took us on trails for the more experienced riders.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Hola buenas tardes como estás disculpa pero quizás por falta de experiencia usted no se sintió cómoda no por qué los quad tengan problemas lo ciento mucho pero no es necesario poner un comentario negativo eso no hace daño a la compañía debió hacer la queja a la compañía no a la plataforma. Por favor le pido que lo barre lo ciento mucho lo sucedido gracias

This was the best ATV excursion i’ve ever done. For the price we got to do so much. Went to shops, drove through mud and water, saw all the local areas and even made a beach stop! That our guide let us have 50 mins to enjoy. Everyone was so nice and they even take pics and videos for you that you have an option to purchase at the end. Amazing quality pics at that!! Just do the excursion and you won’t be disappointed. I was afraid I was going to be late and miss my time but they will literally wait for the full group to be there. All in all I would 100% 10/10 fully recommend. Thanks Johnnay!! And Thanks Yunior for the amazing pictures!!

This was the most amazing experience on our girls' trip to Puerto Plata/Cabarete. Starting with our pick-up driver, Jhonny. He was friendly, communicative, and took us on a tour around Puerto Plata before and after we even got on the ATV's. Our tour guides, Jose Andres and the young guy leading our group, were patient, kind and mindful of our safety. Nothing beats the wind in your hair and the feeling of freedom as you ride through open roads, tropical vegetation, and even along the beach. Hands down, this was our favorite tour during our vacation. I would highly recommend this experience! (Bring goggles because it can get dusty.)
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Bueno día muchas gracias esperamos su visita para la próxima vacaciones gracias....
Sheronne_F, Jul 2025
Very fun, very dusty. You can purchase a bandana for face but i recommend bringing goggles. Great tour

Canceled at last minute due to Holy Week after having date available and confirmation (including charge) on app.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Hello, good morning, how are you? Please delete that comment, it hurts our company. It wasn't our fault that Viator made the reservation on that date. Thank you, please.
Karishma_M, Apr 2025
Trip oversold based on pics. It’s a basic AtV tour of backroads with a beach stop . Not an off road buggy tour thru jungle . I expected a wilder off road experience, going through the jungle and water and getting completely dirty. It was a tamer way to get around , on an atv. Set your expectations and you will be ok.
Response from Host, Apr 2025
Hola buenos día como está la excursión es por la playa y montaña en este país no tenemos selva me disculpas toda la excursiónes son por carretera no afaltada por favor borrar ese comentario gracias por favor gracias
Sharon_C, Mar 2025
It’s a long walk from the ship to find them but it’s worth the walk because it’s a lot cheaper than the ship price and you get GREAT SERVICE! So many times they asked if we were ok! Loved it!
denisse_C, Mar 2025
Experience was beautiful and awesome. Had a great time. The only down fall for me was the ATV that were issue to us and my family had some brake and suspension issues. ATVs need to be updated.
