Great excursion for the whole family. Had a great time. Expect to get dirty and make sure to bring your bathing suit
Thank you so much for your amazing review! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear that you and your family had such a fun time on our ATV and Buggy Tour in Punta Cana. Getting a little muddy is all part of the adventure! 😄 We truly appreciate your recommendation and your helpful tip about bringing a bathing suit. Thank you for choosing us to be part of your vacation memories, and we hope to welcome you back again soon for another exciting experience! 🏝️🚜
It was ok for what it was. The English for instructions and information on the tour was limited, but almost everybody in our group spoke Spanish except us so that could be why. The stop at the Dominican village was good if you haven’t heard that information before, but the stop at the cenote had WAY too many people in a very small space due to other tours as well. The beach was good and had a few vendors for souvenir shopping off resort, which is nice. If this is the only one you do and have nothing to compare it to, it’s probably OK. But we had done a different one earlier in the week that was just a much better experience.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We truly appreciate your honest review. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the beach stop and the visit to the Dominican village, and that you found value in the experience overall. At the same time, we sincerely apologize that some aspects of the tour did not fully meet your expectations. We understand how important clear communication is during the excursion, and we appreciate your comments regarding the English instructions. We are continuously working to improve the experience for all of our international guests. We also understand your concerns about the crowded conditions at the cenote, especially during busy tour times. Your feedback is very valuable to us and helps us continue improving our tours and guest experience. Thank you again for choosing our tour during your vacation in Punta Cana, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience in the future.
I loved the experience, we enjoyed it very much, the staff is very attentive, the only drawback was when communicating with the facilities to receive arrival instructions, but everything else was very good

approx. 10 minutes in on the tour our machine ran out of gas. Naturally the tour went on without us . We sat in the machine approx 45 minutes waiting for gas to be brought out so we could continue. This obviously greatly affected our enjoyment of the tour and being able to keep up with the rest of the family. we made a report of the incident with the rep at the resort when we returned but never heard any more about it. Also the transfer when we arrived in punta cana to our resort was chaotic. It was poorly organized to get us from the terminal to the bus.
Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention, and we sincerely apologize for the experience you had during your ATV tour. Having your machine run out of gas shortly after the excursion began and then waiting approximately 45 minutes for assistance is completely unacceptable, and we fully understand how this negatively impacted your enjoyment of the tour and your ability to share the experience with your family. We are truly sorry for the frustration and disappointment this caused. We also apologize that after reporting the issue at the resort, you did not receive any follow-up communication. This is not the level of customer service we strive to provide. In addition, we regret to hear that your arrival transfer experience in Punta Cana felt disorganized and stressful. Please know that your feedback is being treated with urgency and will be escalated to both our operations and transportation management teams for immediate review. Situations like this do not reflect the quality of experience we aim to deliver to our guests. We truly appreciate your honest feedback and again offer our sincere apologies for the inconveniences you experienced.

Great day spent getting dirty. Stops were interesting. It was great seeing some of the Dominican countryside. Make sure you wear clothes that wash well or you can get rid of due to the mud. Staff was exceptional and made sure nobody was left behind.
