    We booked an ATV tour to...

    Angelo_P, Jun 2026
    We booked an ATV tour to ride and see the scenery, but it was just a disguised shopping trip. I reached out about rescheduling and was told to send them the new date and existing booking confirmation on what’s app. We received no further communication since talking to them a month ago. When we got there, they allowed us to go and charged another admission fee after we were done. We showed them receipts and confirmations from the original purchase date and messages from the original transaction and it was not honored. Even after 48 hours of them looking into it, we still have not been contacted. While on the trip, the guides drove us for five minutes, parked at an overpriced souvenir shop, and forced us to wait around for 30 minutes. Then we rode for another five minutes to a different store. We spent 70% of our time standing around trapped in gift shops being pressured to buy rugs, jewelry, and snacks instead of actually riding. It felt like a total scam to get kickbacks from the merchants. Do not waste your money here if you actually want to ride ATVs.

    Not satisfied

    Dominique_W, Jun 2026
    Not what I expected. When you book an ATV excursion, you expect to only be riding the ATVS not to be funneled through a series of tourist traps and gift shops designed to squeeze out a few extra bucks. It definitely breaks the momentum and feels less like an adventure and more like a structured shopping tour.

    Response from Host, Jun 2026

    Dear Dominique, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. Our ATV excursion is designed to combine off-road riding with cultural stops that allow visitors to learn more about local products and traditions. However, we understand that some guests may prefer a tour focused primarily on ATV riding, and we apologize if the itinerary was not what you expected. Your comments are very valuable to us, and we will share them with our team as we continuously work to improve the experience and ensure that tour descriptions clearly reflect what guests can expect. Thank you for visiting us, and we appreciate your honest feedback.

    Rundown yard and equipment

    Bob_M, Feb 2026
    Very poor facilities at buggy yard, no dedicated bag store just left in office on floor if you ask. Only one non flushing toilet and shower in open yard with rubbish everywhere. Now to buggies! Very poorly maintained and seat belts not easy to get into, had 3 buggies break down and two had wheel struts snap. One of our party had there buggy throttle stick at full throttle and crashed into other stopped buggy at Sanotte and ripped wheel of there buggy. Best to avoid this tour and pay a little bit more for a better experience.

    Getting SPECIFIC pick up location. We were told pick up at main entrance, which we believed to be Lobby entrance at hote

    Heather_D, Nov 2025
    Not specific with pick up location . We understood min i entrance to be lobby, they meant Main gate which lead to us missing our earlier excursion

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Hi there, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us, and we’re truly sorry for the confusion regarding the pick-up instructions. We understand how frustrating it can be when expectations around pick-up locations aren’t clear, and we sincerely apologize that this affected the start of your experience. Some hotels in Punta Cana have multiple entrances (lobby, main gate, and security access points), and it can sometimes create confusion if the exact point isn’t fully clear in the message. We are currently reviewing and updating our pick-up communication to make sure it includes clearer details — such as gate name, a map reference, or landmark photo — so future guests don’t experience the same issue. We would also be happy to check your reservation and assist with a partial refund or rescheduling option depending on the circumstance. Please contact us through the Viator messaging system so we can assist you directly. Thank you again for your review — your feedback helps us continue improving. Warm regards, Tropical Thrills Tours Team

    Fun times

    Corina_E, Nov 2025
    We did not leave on time so our experience time at the designated stops were cut short. We did have a bigger group. Our stop at the Macao beach was only about 20 mins instead of the hour that was on the itinerary. It was a lot of fun just wish we could have stayed longer at the beach. It was beautiful!

    Response from Host, Dec 2025

    Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, and we’re glad to hear you had fun on the tour. We’re sorry to hear that the experience didn’t fully match your expectations regarding timing at the stops. Larger groups can sometimes affect the schedule, but we understand that this should not reduce the time guests enjoy at key locations such as Macao Beach. Your feedback is very important, and we’re currently reviewing our logistics and timing procedures to ensure better consistency moving forward. We appreciate your honesty and your patience, and we’re happy to know you still enjoyed the adventure overall. If you would like to discuss your experience further or explore a resolution, please feel free to contact us through the Viator message center — we’re here to help. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for a smoother and even more enjoyable experience in the future. 🌴🚙💦 Warm regards, Tropical Thrills Tours Team

    Wrong description, mostly shopping

    Theresa_C, Nov 2025
    The description of this comes off nice. A natural cenote with beautiful nature. That is not the case at all. It is a tourist trap with loud music with vendors trying to sell you stuff. The Dominican house is a rip off, extremely expensive. Half the trip I’d wasted shopping. Finally at the end you get to drive the atv’s on the back roads. You only get 20 mins at the beach, not an hour because most of the trip is wasted at shops.

    Response from Host, Dec 2025
