Great excursion. There is a bit of a walk from the cruise ship and you will have to wait until the other guests arrive. YOU WILL GET WET! Make sure to wear something you are okay with getting soaked. Bring goggles and something to cover your mouth from the water and dust. Would DEFINITELY do it again!
We really appreciate your kind words—thank you! It means a lot to our team. We’re glad you enjoyed the experience, and we hope to see you again on your next visit.
This excursion was an absolute blast! They picked us up and dropped us off from our hotel. It was kind of a private Excursion because nobody else had signed up for it. You get really wet! Our guide called himself sexy chocolate and was great. Our driver was Javier, who got us to and from the excursion. Very nice gentleman. It was amazing seeing the countryside and also a little taste of the locals. Once at the first stop, Jose gave us a tour of the property showing us all kinds of different trees , wildlife, and pets. The only negative about the excursion, is once we get to the countryside, they try very hard to continue to sell you something. However , this excursion comes Highly recommend by myself and my nephew.

We had such an amazing time!!! We laughed and had so much fun! The staff was friendly and very helpful! Our guides were Javier and Babyface and our photographer who got us some amazing photos was named Sexy chocolate! I would highly recommend! Make sure to bring some goggles and a face covering or rent them there. I wouldn’t advise wearing white!

Pros: A fun buggy ride through a river bed area. Speed & lots of water. Prepare to be drenched. There was a fun break at a nice local beach that was nice. Overall good fun. Cons: Did not like the last-second upsale for a bandana to cover your mouth and goggles for your eyes for the dust and water. $5 extra. These should have been provided as part of the package if needed. I used my sunglasses and pulled up my T-shirt over my mouth/nose. They should have at least communicated beforehand to bring these items and/or let you know there would be a surcharge instead of being surprised just before the event. Also didn’t like the stop off to the MamaJuana snake-oil shake down and community flea market. A clear attempt to extract more money from the guests. I’d would have rather spent more time riding the buggies.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback—and we’re happy to hear you enjoyed the buggy ride and the beach stop. We’re truly sorry about the surprise regarding the bandana and goggles. We understand your point, and we agree this should be communicated clearly in advance. For transparency, we’ve now added a note to the tour details explaining that bandanas and goggles are optional and not included, and that guests are welcome to bring their own if preferred. Regarding the stop for local mamajuana and the small community market, this is intended as a short cultural break and an opportunity to support local vendors. That said, we understand not everyone enjoys this part, and we’ll review the timing to keep the main focus on riding. We appreciate your comments—they help us improve the experience for future guests.
Bring your goggles and a face cover the buggys can go fast some need some maintenance work nice experience over all

Great experience! The team was attentive to our needs and helped when one of the buggies got stuck. When they say keep the speed up in the water holes, they mean keep your speed up. Great stops for the community and shops. Great stop at the beach. The goggles do cost extra - $5 per pair. You will need them. We brought our own masks for nose/mouth. We wore water shoes so we did not ruin good shoes or have to carry wet shoes back to the cruise ship. Bring cash for masks, souvenirs and for the picture package. Cost of picture package was worth it, but we had to pay via a card and the price was 18% more to use a credit card. GREAT TIME! Guides were fun and would 100% join them again!

The guide was polite and effective, we had a little confusion at the pickup site, but once we were on our way everything went smoothly. The buggys were amazing fun! We loved splashing through the mud and water. We brought our own bandanas, but they sold them there for $5/each. They also rented goggles there for $5)each, but we also brought our own goggles as well.

We had a fantastic time and Chino made sure we had a fantastic time and understood exactly how much time we had at each stop. The parents who were riding 4-wheelers were first in line for safety & those of adults looking to get good and dirty...well mission accomplished. We have shared videos with friends who are definitely adding this to their list. Recommendations: Although there is an option for pick up from port, I would recommend simply taking a cab to their location just a couple miles away. It was an experience trying to ask people outside of the port where to find our meet up location which was just a spot on the sidewalk of the highway. I also recommend having smaller bills available for the purchases you may want to make & tipping throughout the trip.
