I have been four wheeling, buggying, mud, no mud, mountains, you name it, I have done it. This was not that. This was driving very very slow and stop at deep mud pits, and intentionally diving into them, then driving very very slow again to the next mud pit. It was boring. It was a wave of very unsanitary mud. It was not mud buggying by an stretch of the standard in my travel experiences. I do not recommend.

Our buggy tour is designed for families and friends with safety as our top priority, ensuring that all guests regardless of their level of experience can enjoy the activity without unnecessary risk.

We understand that some guests may prefer a more extreme or high-speed adventure, But this tour is to be enjoyed the way we do for your safety! Thank you again for your comments they help us continue improving our services. René Robles / RV Tours DR (Manager)
Not as described and certainly not an "Adventure". The buggy ride was nothing more than a series of very SLOW and short rides where each vehicle was repeatedly instructed to stop then go for what was apparently the sole purpose of the tour operator (DR Tours) getting pictures of the mud spray. A stop at a cigar and souvenir store could easily be eliminated but the lovely young lady and a yummy tiny cup of hot chocolate should be acknowledged. The time spent there would much better be utilized at the lovely beach stop which was the only redeeming factor of the excursion. Our departure was delayed approximately 40 min. waiting for a late couple. The ride to/from the buggy location was boring and could be improved with the addition of narration or information about the island and what we were seeing. In retrospect, nothing advertised that this was a "tour" and my disappointment is based on prior excursions with an engaging driver or guide who were often instrumental in making a mediocre excursion a great one. I wholeheartedly regret taking this excursion. The day would have been much better spent at the Tiano Bay cruise port area.
Hello! We hope you had a wonderful vacation and returned home safely. With all due respect, we would like to clarify a few important points regarding your experience: 1) The tour you booked was a group tour, not a private one. For this reason, we must wait until all participants arrive before departing to the buggy base. 2) Transportation from the terminal meeting point to the buggy base is provided in a safari-style truck with music, designed to be part of the overall adventure experience. Because of the open transportation, it is difficult for the guides to provide information about the environment. 3) The tour is conducted at a moderate and controlled pace, as it is intended to be a guided experience rather than a race. This pace, along with the safety instructions provided, is essential to protect all participants, prevent accidents, and ensure you can continue enjoying your vacation without any issues. 4) Additionally, one of the stops included in the tour takes place in a small rural village, allowing guests to experience the local culture and way of life. This stop also supports the local community, as any purchases made directly benefit the residents. We sincerely regret that your experience did not meet your expectations. At the same time, we truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify opportunities to improve and continue enhancing our service. Thank you very much for your understanding. Kind regards, René Robles Manager, RV Tours DR
Our group of 16 had an absolute blast on this very muddy, very wet adventure- and it was SO. Much. Fun! It was enjoyed by young and old alike. The scenery in the area was beautiful and this was a great way to see it! It was also very reasonably priced- which we really appreciated.

Hello Mrs. Heidy!! Thank you very much for your words! Your satisfaction motivates us to continue providing a quality service more and more! René Robles / RV Tours DR (Manager)
We had a private tour on the fun buggys. I have to say, we have been on over 30 cruises and this was by far one of the best tours we have ever done. The guides were super attentive to make sure we were always safe by putting their ATVs in front of any obstacles that might have been a hazard and were always smiling and encouraging us to hit the muddy spots. After we hit the super muddy spots they would stop and clean off our goggles so we had a clean goggles. Highly highly suggest this tour. You will not be disappointed. We even had a little fun with it and asked our group to dress up.

I can’t give this group a high enough review! Everything about it was great!!! The organization, facilities, equipment, safety, staff, and the store to celebrate with a beer and snickers when we finished. All was top notch - especially the staff!!! They actually seemed like they were having fun! Another notable part was the pictures they took - and sold as a package. Too muddy to have my phone out - and the pictures were great and a good value!!! Thanks to Fun Buggy Tours for a GREAT experience!

RV tours take care of our transfers for 8 years already and over the years we have made multiple excursions in the area with René or members of his team. We are never disappointed. Also on time, an impeccable bus with Wifi that works very well. This time we asked to organize some different and fun things and he offered us the buggy near AmberCove we were not sure but we dared and we had a nice afternoon. The company buggies offered by René are new and well maintained, the guide team that accompanied us were really cool. It was a bit of adventure very well framed and safe for all. You shouldn't be afraid of mud though. René told us to bring a complete change and a towel and it was no joke On site the buggies come with helmet and glasses, bring or buy your bandanas that are necessary in my opinion. The hard tour 2 hours with two poses of 10 minutes and after c is back at the start where showers and cloakroom (very clean) await you. The facilities are really great. Our bonus of the day, René accompanied us with his 8 year old son who had as much fun as we did. Thank you RV tours for the beautiful day and we look forward to seeing your next suggestions
Para nosotros fue y siempre será un placer servirles! René Robles / RV Tours DR
My son drives a powerchair so it’s very difficult to find shore excursions. I contacted RVTours and told them of our situation. They asked pertinent questions regarding my son’s abilities and then assured us they could take us on the buggy ride. We did the 4 person buggy and it was so much fun. Everyone helped move my son around (he weighs 120 pounds) and they made sure he was comfortable and safe. I can’t say enough about this great group of gentlemen who helped us. This was the only excursion we were able to do on our trip and it was perfect! The ride was very exciting and my son was thrilled and filthy:)
Hello Friends!! It was a pleasure for us to serve them! We will be at your disposal whenever necessary! Thank you very much for choosing us! René Robles / RV Tours (Manager)
