Possibly the most fun shore experience ever!

You will get wet, you will get muddy. If you're okay with that, you will have a blast. They have lockers, a couple of changing rooms, and showers, recommend bringing a change of clothes. Don't bother with your cell phone's camera. Even with a cover, too much mud to bother. They take lots of pictures/videos throughout the trip. We did purchase the package at the end. Price was a little high, but good value, and no regrets. Would highly recommend!

100% Recommend

We loved the buggy ride at Amber Cove. If you want a fun excursion, this it. You will get wet and muddy but that was half the fun.

It was nice but wouldn’t do it again!

It was a nice experience. I will say you mainly just see the forest and trees. It was nice to see at first but I didn’t want to see that the whole time. If you have sensitive skin I recommend either wearing a shirt or not doing it at all, bc I broke out in a rash all over my body from the mud. Overall it was a nice experience but I wouldn’t do it again.

Dirty fun!

An amazingly fun, but filthy adventure. The staff was so friendly, especially the "paparazzi". We got over 700 images of our trip, for a very reasonable price. The jungle stop was very neat, getting to try coffee, chocolate, cigars and mamajuana was great. Just be prepared for a hard but friendly sell from the workers for souvenirs. And to finish it off, a dip in the ocean to wash off the dirt, with the cruise ships in the background was nice. There were lockers, showers, and dressing rooms, as well as a food truck and bar at the headquarters with reasonable prices and tasty options. Our favorite excursion on our trip.
