Interesting excursion, get to see parts of Dominican that tourists ordinarily wouldn’t

The ATV ride is quite challenging even for experienced drivers but it’s enjoyable once you get the hang of the terrain. Our ship arrived 2 hr 30 mins late but this company still put on a reduced length tour for us. They didn’t need to do this and our money would have been lost. All staff were friendly. ATVs in good condition and bbq food offered along with a drink. We missed the main waterfall due to lateness and construction work in the area. Still we enjoyed. Recommend for fairly adventurous guests.

Great time!!

We had a fantastic time! While we started a little late waiting for another group to arrive, the team made us feel right at home from the start—I even got to relax with some authentic Dominican coffee while we waited, which was an incredible touch! The ATV ride was so much fun with beautiful views along the way, and the waterfall was absolutely spectacular. The crew was super friendly, hilarious, and made sure we made it back to the cruise ship with plenty of time to spare. The photo package was 100% worth it!

10/10 Experience

This was a great excursion with great hosts. It took place during a thunderstorm which made the experience better since we were able to drive through puddles and creeks on the ATVs. We weren’t able to get to the waterfall due to the storm, but the guides found an alternative for us which was appreciated. My only complaint is that there was no one there to meet us at the pick up spot at the designated time. We spent about 20 minutes asking around to the other companies and a cab driver knew the owner and was able to coordinate transportation to a halfway point. This originally had us feeling a little uneasy since we got into a random vehicle at a gas station, but fortunately it was all good and we were taken to the ranch without issue. The staff were very friendly and the included food was delicious. We felt that we got a true DR experience by being on the ranch with the family. Once I mentioned the mixup about the transportation to the owner, he let me know that he messaged me on WhatsApp, which I appreciated, but wasn’t aware of until afterwards. My recommendation is that the owner provides direct contact information for customers so they can get in touch when situations like what we experienced arise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with a great value. I would recommend.

Atv family fun

Bring your own bandannas, goggles and some shoes you don’t mind getting wet and dirty. They served food at the end but you have to pay for your own drinks

An Authentic Adventure We’ll Never Forget

This excursion was definitely one of the highlights of our trip! Meeting our guide was incredibly easy—they were waiting right outside the cruise port, and we took a short ride through the city to the ranch. Once we arrived, we were welcomed by a wonderful family, and the guides got everyone ready for an unforgettable ATV adventure through the countryside. The ride was beautiful, exciting, and definitely humbling at times! It was an amazing experience for both adults and kids. The waterfall was absolutely worth the trip. The views were stunning, and it was so refreshing to take a dip. The only thing I’d mention is that there were no life jackets available, so if you’re not a confident swimmer, keep that in mind. That said, I always felt safe because the guides stayed in the water with everyone and kept a close eye on the group, especially the kids. There was also a photographer capturing the experience, and we purchased the photo package. The pictures were emailed to us within 24 hours, which was a nice bonus. To top it all off, a delicious meal was waiting for us after the ride back. Honestly, it may have been the best chicken we had during our entire trip! I highly recommend this adventure to anyone looking for a fun, authentic, and memorable experience. We would absolutely do it again!

Blast!

This excursion was a blast! The guides were great, and they had a photographer that captured some great moments! Lunch was also served at the end of the Excursion and consisted of chicken, rice, and tuna pasta salad. It was also a great way to meet new people!

The Best of the DR

Excellent tour. The ATV ride was in the coutryside and you truly were able to see the beauty of the DR. You are able to cool off under the waterfalls and the fresh water. Our driver Cesar was excellent. Our atv guide was excellent. Highly recommend.

This was so fun! Our...

This was so fun! Our driver Leandro was hilarious and the guides during the tour were so helpful! Our ship was behind schedule with docking so we ended up being about 15 minutes late, but they were so accommodating! To top it off, we ended the excursion with a delicious meal. Would definitely do this again!
