Mega Extreme Adventure: Horseback Riding, Ziplining and more

Best stop on my cruise and went to four islands. Ariany was our tour guide and she was amazing! She told us about culture, paid attention to safety, was funny and on point! 10/10 experience. The food at the end was delicious.

For the Zipline & horseback riding excursion you get on to a big open air truck which drives you about 30 minutes into the interior of the island to the ranch. We started with ziplining which was fun but your view is just mountainous tree lines, which wasn’t the most exciting. After getting equipment and safety instructions we did 6 lines total which took about an hour. Then after a short break it was onto the horseback riding. After more safety instructions you mount up and you’re off. Horses pretty much just follow each other and you don’t really have to do anything but sit there. You go down a trail, over a stream, and partially up a hill before you turn around and head back the same way. All the horses were very tame and none got too crazy. My horse kept trying to walk into the ditch which was funny but also a little aggravating. Also felt like his legs were shaky walking up/down the hills. After about an hour of horseback riding we headed back to the main part of the ranch where we were served a traditional Dominican Republic lunch. Chicken, pork, rice, beans, pasta, fresh fruit, and beverages. I gotta say the food was delicious. You get about another 15 minutes to look at their tiny gift shop then back onto the truck to head back to port. All the staff were very friendly and there were a lot of them helping out. The only negative feedback I’d give is about the pictures they take while excursioning. The pictures are all or nothing and for all of them it’s $120, and you can’t even preview them before you buy. Many other excursions we’ve done, they upload all pictures to a website that you can view and purchase individually. This is a much better way to sell them. Most people are not going to pay $120 for pictures they can’t even see. That part was just a big turnoff. If you offered individual pictures I guarantee they’d make more money. Overall ziplining and horseback riding was a lot of fun and you get a delicious lunch to go with it. All the staff were super friendly and accommodating. Scenic view was just meh and definitely no hidden gem. And picture policy is just plain stupid. Id recommend if you like the adventure and not so much the view.

My friends and I had a really nice experience at both the zip lining and horseback riding. Our guide, Eduardo and driver, Daniel made sure that we got our money's worth. We spent a decent amount of time at both excursions! I would definitely recommend these activities to others!

We had 7 of us in our group and every one of us loved the excursion! We did the Mega Truck tour. It was a great way to tour D.R. We really enjoyed the tour guide Alexis and our driver Luiz. When yiu are on the tour, you have a chance to tour a school. They love treats and school supplies, as well.

My fiancé and I absolutely loved this tour! Our tour guide, Telisia (unsure if I spelled correctly) was amazing and made the entire trip - she made everyone feel at home. She gave great details along the ride to the ranch about the area and countryside and she had a wonderful personality! Once we got to the ranch, I felt at home with our guides at the Zip Lining platforms and they gave great instructions and made me feel safe when ready to launch to the next platform. Everything was well organized and we had a blast! For the last portion of the experience, we selected the horse back riding. Neither of us had been on horses for years, but they matched us well with our horse and everyone had a great time taking a trip through the ranch. The lunch served when we returned was delicious and I enjoyed getting the opportunity to enjoy true Dominican fare! I definitely encourage you to Book with Mega Extreme Adventure!

Was great, very hot on zipline but loved the horseback riding, was thrilling

This was a very informative and interesting adventure. We were taken through the town and given a very detailed overview of the history of the town and the country. We then went up to the mountains and visited a typical home in the countryside as well as a local school. We were able to go through the classrooms and speak with the teachers and students. The tour guide takes school supplies for the children and encourages the visitors to take their own supplies to help them. We then were taken to an outdoor camp where we had a fabulous meal and a tour of an arboretum. We were also able to visit a local shop selling local gifts and food unique to the region. Overall a fantastic experience.

We booked the excursion through Carnival Cruise Line. It was a birthday gift to my husband and we had an amazing time. Catalino and Carlos were the best guides ever. The staff also made sure we were safe at all times and the history shared with us during our ride to the location was very informational. Thank you for everything. Encantada de conocerte!

We booked this as a girls trip. I cannot even tell you how amazing the whole day was with mega adventures. Just the safety and expertise that went into doing the preliminary with us was excellent. The whole day itself was the best adventure. From the time they pick you up at the cruise port until they drop you off it is not anything that is going to be negative. We had one alias, Sexy Poppa as our tour guide for the day. He stayed with us and got us through the orientation for zip lining, and walked us through what we will be doing horseback riding. The meal in the afternoon was excellent! We ate authentic Dominican food, and it was prepared very cleanly and very sanitary. There was a gift shop on site with reasonable pricing and a variety of different things you can buy to bring back with you, including coffee and Lacore. There was a man out front carving, petrified wood into the most amazing creations. Some need to know when you take this trip; you cannot use American Express in the store. They only take Mastercard and Visa. Cash obviously. The pricing in the store was excellent. One warning, do not buy the vanilla extract as it tastes like a synthetic plastic. This is the only thing I found is a negative. Be very careful of buying any of the extract products because of the ingredients. The coffee is wonderful, the honey is wonderful, there is a woman out front selling chocolate coffee that you can make as an instant coffee and she is actually giving samples out. Buying the coffee from her is eight dollars a bottle. I bought two one for me and one for my Bestie. Bags of the coffee beans are $16. Don’t buy it at the duty-free at the port. it’s way cheaper to buy it at this store. Same thing for the rum and the Liquore. Please make sure you tip one at the end and make it a good tip. He shares that with all the guys that he works with and these guys work very very hard for your safety. They are respectful they are funny and we had a great time! This deserves all fives I couldn’t find anything about the adventure that I would give a negative not one thing.

Our family of five, my husband and are are right at 60, our boys are 18, and 15, and our girl is 10 years old. All of us said this was the highlight of our cruise. We did the waterfall slides, horseback riding, and lunch excursion. There is nothing I would change about any of it. Edwardo and Carlos were our excursion guides. They went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. Gabriel was our photographer and did an amazing job so we have a lot of pictures for years to come. Tony and Fredrick were the best guides through the forest and water slides. They made sure everyone was comfortable and safe. The gentlemen at the stables and guides during the horseback riding did an excellent job. My younger two had never ridden hoses before and both said that was their favorite part. My older child loves experiencing authentic food from places we visit and was not disappointed at all with the lunch. I highly recommend this excursion and hope you have as much fun as we did.
