Great experience with Mud, Rivers & Jungle Fun
We had an unforgettable time on the Dune Buggy adventure! From bumpy trails and muddy splashes to driving past friendly locals and scenic spots, the whole ride was packed with excitement. The beach break at the end was the perfect way to cool off and take in the view. Be ready to get dirty—it’s all part of the fun! Wear clothes you don’t mind messing up and don’t forget a towel.
Big thanks to Ramon’s Tour for an amazing day. Highly recommend this experience!

Total value experience
We rented the dune buggy’s in February 2025 - these guys were fantastic! We were 6 (3 adults, 3 teens) picked up directly at our resort (early, even which anyone who’s travelled - not the norm!) it had rained the night before so the conditions were awesome - muddy, splashing - so much fun! Recommend water shoes and clothes you’re not concerned about ! The tour is noted as 3 hours, start to finish, we were back at the resort within 2.5 but didn’t at all feel we missed anything! Mike took us to a small shop along the way ( very DR tour I’ve ever experienced so just appreciate the talent!) which had a clean washroom should JT be required and some wonderfully friendly people ! Then to a local beach, we bought a beer and walked a bit in the water and then back to the starting point ! These guys were so great, we can’t say enough and would not hesitate to book them again !!!
