Excellent from start to finish. Our guides were great and you get to experience the Dominican Republic in a whole different way. The sugar cane fields are great. Be prepared to get dirty!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Phillip! We're thrilled to hear you loved the off-roading experience and exploring the sugar cane fields. Getting dirty is definitely half the fun! We hope to see you again soon for another adventure! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Destination and staff was great but the buggies kept breaking down so we spent a lot of the time pulled over on the side of trails assisting different buggies that would break down. On the first buggy I drove the accelerator pedal would stay stuck on full throttle position so I would have to put my foot behind the pedal to pull it up out of full throttle. Also, once we would stop the engines the staff would run from buggy to buggy with one common battery to turn on the buggies. In summary, the equipment needs better maintenance or replacement.
Hello Carlos, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. While we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the destination and our staff, we sincerely apologize for the mechanical issues and the lack of proper maintenance on the buggies you experienced. Your safety and comfort are our top priorities, and issues like stuck accelerators and battery failures are completely unacceptable. We have already shared your comments directly with our fleet maintenance team to overhaul our inspection protocols and replace worn-out equipment immediately. We truly value your input as it helps us improve, and we hope you will give us another opportunity in the future to provide you with a flawless experience.
They treated us spectacularly, throughout the route, they make you feel like old friends going out for a walk, upon arriving at the river they treated us very well, I would repeat it, we loved the experience.
¡Qué alegría leer esto, Áurea! Nos encanta saber que pudieron reconectar y que la pasaron tan bien. Nuestro equipo siempre se esfuerza por hacer que cada viajero se sienta como en casa, como un amigo de toda la vida. ¡Los esperamos de vuelta cuando gusten para repetir la aventura! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a great experience! The guide was fluent in multiple languages. You will get dirty! Bring a bandana and sunglasses to keep dirt out of your eyes and mouth. They do sell these if you forget. Bring a wet bag to keep your things dry. Once again you will get dirty and wet! The sugar cane demonstrations were so neat. The snacks were delicious! We were able to utilize their $30 pickup and drop off and had 40 minutes to spare when we got back to our cruise ship. Make sure to let the head guide know and he will make sure you meet that time. I would recommend this for those that love adventure!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Melanie! We're thrilled to hear you had such a great adventure. Your tips about bringing a bandana, sunglasses, and a wet bag are spot-on for future travelers wanting to fully enjoy getting muddy and wet! We hope to welcome you back again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lots of fun, mud, local villages... Rusty cars, but beautiful caring people! Thank for been flexible for us! The biggest bummer was a river - lots of mud after rains and so no swimming this time. But this is mother nature!
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you had a fun time and appreciated our team's flexibility. We completely agree—mother nature sometimes changes our swimming plans with extra mud, but that's all part of the authentic off-road adventure! We hope to welcome you back soon for another ride! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was a wonderfully fun morning. Our kids (5 & 10) loved it as much as we did. The buggy driving was fab, trying the sugar cane was lovely, swimming in the river - epic; and the post swim snacks were delicious. The prices of the photo package ($40) was a bit steep - but the photos will create many giggles when we get home.
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! We're thrilled to hear that the whole family—especially the kids—had such an epic morning swimming in the river and tasting the sugar cane. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the photo package pricing, and we'll definitely share that with our media team. We hope to welcome you all back for another muddy adventure soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you so much for the fantastic review, Stacey! We're thrilled to hear you and the kids had the best day out in the mud and handling the buggies. We completely agree—old clothes, water shoes, and cash for some local goodies are the way to go. Hope to see you again soon! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Friendly time in buggy, in small local villages, sugarcane plantations and jungle. The whole team is very friendly and playful. Tasting of various local products all very good! Don't be afraid to get dirty.
WE HAD THE BEST TIME! 100% would go again. You get really dirty, but that’s the fun! Crew was wonderful.
Such a great experience!! They were so friendly and hospitable, and the snacks were amazing, especially the yuca. Would go again, so so fun!
