Very Unprofessional

I would not book this excursion again. The scheduled pickup time was 9:00 AM, but we didn’t actually start riding the buggies until around 10:30 AM. Most of that time was spent standing around because so many of the buggy carts kept breaking down. Throughout the excursion, there were repeated delays due to mechanical issues, which took away from the overall experience. Once we finally got going, the ride itself was enjoyable. We stopped at a souvenir shop, which was nice, but the beach we visited afterward was very run down and didn’t even have bathrooms available for guests. Another disappointment was that the company did not provide goggles or any type of protective gear. Thankfully, my family had purchased our own beforehand because the ride is extremely dusty. To make matters worse, one of the employees took professional photos of everyone during the excursion. However, when the excursion ended, there was no one available to purchase or view the photos. After returning home, we contacted the company and were told we would have to pay $120 for the photos without being allowed to preview them first. Expecting customers to buy photos blindly is unacceptable. Overall, poor organization, long delays, unreliable equipment, and disappointing customer service made this an experience I would not recommend.

An unexpected good time!

Great experience! We had lots of fun, would absolutely do it again. Wear clothes you don’t mind throwing away or washing immediately afterwards. I appreciate the trip through town, makes me want to go back to spend more time. Take full advantage of your beach stop it’s the last hope to hose off.

Unbelievable experience.

What an amazing time we had. Javier we're so informative and fun. He made everything so clear to us and made sure we all had the best time. We loved all the different stops. Babyface was another one who was quite helpful. This is the second time my daughter in law has done this particular adventure.

A Muddy Blast!

Pick up /drop off exactly as described online. Staff very friendly and helpful! Buggies a little worn but functioned great.They took enormous amts pics. Rainforest and mountain village rest stop gorgeous! My husbands favorite part though was drenching me with water and mud while driving through the mud/water holes along the route! Great day, best excursion for entire cruise!!

Best excursion ever.

My wife had never done anything like this. She was a little worried. We had a tremendous time. Our buggy started slipping the belt and the crew was Johnny- on-the-spot and gave us another buggy. They weren’t lying about getting dirty. It was so much fun. We stopped at the beach at the end to wash most of the mud off of ourselves. I would recommend this excursion to anyone who like to have fun. One of the best excursions I have ever had.

Dirty but fun

This was a great excursion. But I would definitely suggest using the free lockers they offer you, has your phone and all your belongings will get wait. Wear water shoes, wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty.
