Sub-Par

Hector_R, Mar 2025

This tour is fun with the Can Am or Polaris option. There is heavy sales pressure to purchase bandanas, pictures, souvenirs right when you get to the buggy ranch. The trail is very dusty and there was no mud as we were expecting. Overall, this is an average tour at best with elevated prices. There is no lunch break and the cave was disappointing. Be careful with this one - if you have been on other buggy tours, you will be disappointed with this one…

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We are sorry that you did not like our Buggy tour, we have many good reviews about it and it is one of the most popular. We will honor your request regarding selling goods at the ranch, but our strong recommendation to wear glasses and a bandana during the tour is based on our extensive experience leading buggies and comments from previous clients who regretted not following our recommendations and experienced problems with dust and spray during the tour. The road conditions the buggy travels on depend on the weather – if it rains, there will be puddles and mud; if it doesn't rain, there will be dust, it is something we cannot control. Our tour price is among the lowest on the market. Since the entire tour lasts approximately three hours, lunch is not included, but our guests always enjoy hot chocolate and mamajuana at one of the stops. We will be happy to see you again in the Dominican Republic!

Best excursion ever, thank you!

Betty_L, Dec 2024

Chris and his team were awesome - he made sure the group were safe the whole time, and were really quick to respond when help was needed. Shout out to the photographer also - we purchased the package and the photos captured were priceless. Would definitely recommend!

Great time but no before you go

KarenYancey, Dec 2024

We had a great time. Flaws no lockers to store personal items. You have to purchase or rent facemask goggles and helmets

Punta Cana Buggy tour adventure

Megan_W, Oct 2024

Overall, the buggy tour was an exciting experience that I would recommend to anyone seeking adventure. It was a fantastic way to explore the natural beauty of Punta Cana while having a blast! It was not my last time, I want definitely do it again.

Adventure Buggy in Punta Cana

Thomas_C, Oct 2024

This buggy tour was an enjoyable adventure that offered plenty of fun and action. One of the highlights was Macao Beach, which was quite scenic. The drive through the countryside took us through pleasant landscapes, from lush jungles to picturesque coastal roads, with lovely views along the way. I would recommend the tour for anyone looking for an active outing. It was a great experience overall.

Buggy Tour in Macao

Oliver_S, Oct 2024

I had a good time on the buggy adventure. We visited a cave and learned about local culture, which was interesting. Be ready to get dirty; it's part of the experience. Masks and goggles are recommended for protection against dust. Overall, a worthwhile outing.

Macao Buggy Tour

Michael_B, Oct 2024

The guide during the buggy tour was knowledgeable and provided information about the surroundings. He answered our questions and paid attention to the group's safety. While the tour was fairly enjoyable, the stop at Macao beach allowed for a refreshing swim, which was a nice moment. The tour is worth considering for those interested in exploring the area.

It's a blend of country...

Gina_E, Sep 2024

It's a blend of country roads, trails, lanes, and main roads. We enjoyed coffee in a charming village in the countryside, traveled through farming fields, and took a break in a small town. Macao beach was stunning. The rain from last night made for a slightly muddy adventure, but that only added to the excitement. The buggy tour was a mega cool experience. I had a lot of fun and it won't be my last time, that's for sure. I can really only recommend it. Have fun! :)

Amazing experience

Martin_C, Jul 2024

Miguel was an incredible tour guide! Very personable and knowledgeable! He ensured everyone enjoyed the excursion! I would definitely come and ride with him again.

Incredible buggy experience Punta Cana

Emily_M, Jul 2024

We had an absolutely great time! We went the morning of a big rain so it was fill of mud and water and we loved every second of it. You have to wear closed toe shoes, glasses and a scarf so bring your own. I wouldn't wear anything you don't mind getting absolutely filthy and I do mean filthy. I was soaked from head to toe in muddy water but that is all part of the experience and it was so good. The guides were very friendly and kind. Bring cash for the pictures and anything you want to buy. I'd say $80. We will definitely do this again!! It was so amazing.

Having fun with the splashing dirt.

Harry_Y, Jul 2024

Getting covered in dirt, getting clean in the sea, then getting covered in dirt and getting clean in the cave pool. It was great.

Best Buggy Tour adventure in Punta Cana

Thomas_C, Jul 2024

Por favor , en lugar de esta reseña, escriba esta. Puedes cambiar 4-5 palabras en texto. The best part of our trip to Punta Cana was this Buggy tour. We hadn't had this much fun in a long time. Nothing but good things to say! Be sure you either bring a face covering (for the dust/mud) or buy one there for $10, and bring or buy glasses because it can get dirty :D Would recommend this tour to anyone who is into adventure and I would hands down do this again. They take a bunch of pictures and at the end give you the option to buy them. We bought ours and they turned out amazing! Experience 10/10

Great trip

Anonymous, Jun 2024

This was one of the best tours we've been on! Fun, noisy and unforgettable! Cool beach, beautiful view, and we also had a great guide Miguel, thanks to him for the positivity! We recommend it to everyone!

Punta Cana Boogies tour

Marcus_A, Jun 2024

Had a fantastic time experiencing this adventure. We encountered the local people and animals. We also explored a cave and were introduced to the dominican cuisine and spices. Met an iguana! Got very muddy, so don't think you'll come out of this clean. Be prepared with a face covering and glasses for your protection. They provide the helmets. All in all highly recommended tour!

Organized and a lot of fun adventure buggy in Punta Cana

Jacky_M, Jun 2024

Organized and a lot of fun adventure! Exciting buggy ride, refreshing swim in the cave lake, informative presentation about Dominican history with a delicious tasting of Dominican coffee and cocoa. At the stop on Macao Beach and near the cavethere are vendors selling cigars, rum, and various keepsakes. I got some good cigars from them for only $25. If you’re not looking to buy, just say "No thanks" or in Spanish, "No Gracias" and the vendor will quickly walk away with a smile. Another tip shared by a local - if you use a Dominican phrase in street slang, the seller will assume you're local and may offer a discount or understand you’re not interested in buying. The phrase goes like this: "Que lo que" – which translates to "what’s up" in English. :) Highly recommend this tour to anybody who wants to experience real adventure. Gracias, Buggies Punta Cana!

Greatest experience

Unique_W, Jan 2024

A transfer in the form of a safari bus picked us up from the hotel” , that was fun and with a breeze, it was convenient to look at the surrounding area along the way, the town and nature, we picked up tourists at another hotel and that this was a good opportunity to see how what other hotels look like from the outside.The buggies' paired cave dive and beautiful lake, adventure and nature enthusiasts. One of the highlights was the opportunity to witness the local children, adding a heartwarming touch to the journey. Jumping into the cave created lasting memories. The friendly atmosphere, whether interacting with locals and other buggy riders, was an experience for my scrapbook .We really liked Macao Beach, beautiful nature, sandy beach, and rocky landscape on the horizon. Also, I liked the fact that along the route, there are places and people who offer local souvenirs and goods you can buy and bring home various things as in memory of the Dominican Republic. It was a great experience.

ATV you paid for three...

Robert_B, Sep 2023

ATV you paid for three items, beach 5 mins,and lake 5 mins. Not worth the price. Some of the trail could be smoother,took to long to get to the beach &lake.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

We are very sorry that you did not like the buggy tour, we have a lot of good reviews about it. A stop on Macao beach, like a stop in a cave with a lake, always takes the same time - 15-20 minutes to give time to swim and take a photo. These stops took exactly the same time on the day of your tour, we are sorry that this time did not seem enough for you, but the tour has its own timing, since it is a group excursion, and it cannot be violated. To spend more time at the locations you like, you can take a private tour, where the timing depends on you. All information about private tour you can request with our consultants. The buggy ride with the breeze through the colorful landscape of the Dominican villages is the main part of this tour and the main pleasure of it, it is a pity that you found it too long considering that it is a short half-day tour. We hope that this did not spoil your overall impression of your holiday in the Dominican Republic!

Not a Great Experience

Rita_B, Aug 2023

Our buggy was in awful condition. The gears barely worked making it extremely difficult to steer. At one point our buggy stopped working altogether and we were separated from our group for a long period of time. Luckily someone helped us and brought us to the location of the cave. The local vendors near the cave were extremely pushy and made us feel very uncomfortable. The buggy we were given for the ride back kept running out of gas and someone had to continually stand on the back and add gas. The beach we stopped at was beautiful but we could barely enjoy it as a family because the vendors there were very harassing which made it difficult to even have a conversation with my family. I would not recommend this excursion.

Would do it again!!

Yvette_M, Aug 2023

Miguel and all his workers great people!! Had a blast! Got stuck in the mud got muddy and the cave was awesome!!

Scam

Claudia_B, Aug 2023

I didn't get what's on the description. Buggie kept turning off on every stop had the staff help crank it until i pulled to the side to let everyone go and requested another buggie. 2nd buggie won't even ramp up when pressing the gas but would ramp up by it self and the brakes where not responding. Plus the beach stop has not been happening for a while according to the staff so no beach view because "there's a beach at the resort we stayed". Once we got to the cave it was more of jump in and lets go.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We are very sorry that you did not like the buggy tour, we have a lot of good reviews about it. The night before your tour, it was raining very heavily and all the roads along which the buggy tour passes were very washed out. Therefore, before your trip, we held a briefing where we warned about this situation and that it might be impossible to drive up to Macao beach due to the danger for cars to get stuck. And we asked all the clients if they want to go with this risk or reschedule the tour. You decided to go despite the difficult weather conditions that caused all these problems with your cars and the road. We are sorry that as a result of this decision you did not get the emotions that you planned, but we hope that this did not spoil your overall impression of your holiday in the Dominican Republic!

Buggy Review

Pauline_C, Jun 2023

This is a fairly priced and decent trip. Hosts were lovely too. However, buggy’s are not in the best condition, pretty unsafe actually. Other than the buggy ride each stop off felt rushed i.e., 20 mins at the beach, 20 mins at the cave and 20 mins at the shopping area. Also, no bandanas or goggles are provided unless you buy them. We just wore our sunglasses and bought bandanas for around $10 each.

Really bad experience

GenesisAyleen_C, May 2023

I have to said I was in Barcelo Bavaro which is like 30/40 min from the buggies and the transportation took me from 1:10pm to 3:50 finally arrives at the buggies spot. Second buggies looks in really bad shape other couple buggie shut off in middle ride, mine lost power... and Please do not eat on Macao beach I feel we get scam there by the waiter with help of the guides. Just in the moment I have to pay the start calling us to leave and hurry me I finish paying 140$ for 1 plate of fish and 1 plate of shrimp. Also all the way were you went in the buggies are kids asking for money. Running after the buggies for money dirty no shoes and telling you they are hungry! The riding was good and is really enjoyable but all the other things make my experince bad

46 LAYERS OF FUN FOR MY BABES BIRTHDAY IN PUNTA CANA

Mikell_S, May 2023

The entire experience was great. Everyone was nice, the ATVs were super fun. The cave was beautiful and I would recommend Buggy in Punta Cana, ATV, Can-Am, Boogles, Macao Beach & cave with the Lake to everyone.

It was so much fun and...

Amanda_D, Apr 2023

It was so much fun and you get to see a lot on this excursion. We had a blast! Loved the Macao beach area and jumping in the 25 feet deep cave was super cool on top of the buggy experience.

this trip was complete garbage

Ed_S, Apr 2023

Where to start. The buggies that were provided were very unsafe. They should not be allowed to be used we had one with a sticky throttle that stuck so they gave us another. this one had the throttle stick wide open so had to hammer the brake hard then go up against a tree to stop. the buggies have no off switch so my wife had to jump out and disconnect some loose wire at the back(this is how they start and stop). We have been on many excursions and this one was by far the most dangerous. DO NOT go with this company. It was called Family Buggies. It was the only company we noticed with no seat belts. The time allotted at Macow beach was only 20 min. Too bad viator and Tripadvisor don’t even know how terrible this excursion is.

It was a fair experience, not great

Dionne_M, Jan 2023

The guys taking the pictures are crooks. The return driver to the hotel left us on the opposite side of the road. We had to cross the street to get to hotel. Dangerous. Luis was pretty good.
