Xtreme Buggy 4 hours Dune Buggy & Country side experience

Sept 2026...the German owner(she speaks perfect Spanish)was punctual in picking us up(she also took us back), she was super helpful and friendly, ($220 for two people)upon arriving at the location I met the guide and the German owner(perfect Spanish)super good people and helpful...we met the guide who speaks 6 languages, good person and humble, there were only 3 buggies including the guide, it really is a tremendous trip through roads, farms, neighborhoods, a little shop with snacks, Francisca's little house, very helpful, they give you coffee, Macao beach....the guide was very attentive to our safety without rushing and calm, in short this trip with Xtreme Buggies is worth it...my suggestion to Xtreme Buggies would be a simple little lunch since I have been to other buggies and they include it, even so I give it ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good experience to see the countryside and meet some very nice people locals. Macao beach was beautiful. My jeep shut off for no reason but was on its way after a short break. The other jeep riding with us almost had an accident due to brakes not working efficiently. The guide test drove it and told them it would be ok but we will go slower..

Outstanding! Charlie was terrific, he did an excellent job explaining the cars and taking us out. You must know how to DRIVE A MANUAL transmission BEFORE your go. As long as you can, you'll have a great time!

This is an authentic buggy ride. Old school buggies with some fun off road adventures. You get to see the Dominican country side and some beautiful scenery. Now, you will get dirty, muddy and wet but that is part of the fun. Lots of fun.

Xtreme Buggy gave us an incredible adventure from start to finish! Charlie and Marianne were absolutely amazing- friendly, professional, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable the entire time. The buggies were manual, which made the ride even more exciting and hands-on, and they were well-maintained and ran perfectly. The trails offered the perfect mix of adrenaline and beautiful scenery. We got a great balance of thrill and fun, and the whole experience was well-organized and worth every minute. Highly recommend Xtreme Buggy to anyone looking for a heart-pumping outdoor adventure!

Could get muddy, fun 1/2 day trip, wish we had gotten the full day. Cars are easy to drive and guide was exceptional.

We all had a big messy blast! Charley, our guide, was great. This is the real deal. 1. You must know how to drive a manual - no rusty drivers. 2. You will get dirtier than you've most likely ever been. 3. You will have a blast. 4. You will be driving through towns, down state roads, mixing it up with traffic (so nice to be in a dune buggy where other cars WILL yield to you for fear that you could care less if you smack your dune buggy into them) fields, and cow poop. This was a great way to get off the resort and actually see some of the real areas of Punta Cana and how people live of the grid. 5. Prepare to get dirty! 6. Both my kids said without a doubt that this was the best excursion.

What a fun excursion! Super convenient - company picked us up from the resort at no extra charge. We had a great time getting muddy on the buggy! Some tips: Definitely wear something you don’t mind ruining and have somewhere (trash bag) to put your clothes in your luggage to take home. Someone must know how to drive a stick!

Best Experience for Excursion in Punta Cana! First, Angela was awesome to communicate with through whatsapp and answered all my questions thoroughly. After a $50 deposit was paid, I received all of the transaction and trip instructions quickly. We were picked up promptly at 7:10am from our resort by Charlie, the owner of the company. The van was nice and clean, plus Charlie talked about his German to DR perspective giving insights into the places we were traveling through. He was funny and informational. When we arrived, we went through a quick briefing on the buggies and safety. It was funny and informal and we loved their personalities and passion shining through as they talked about having a great excursion. Then, we got fitted for goggles and for a buggy that fits the driver's stature, and you can purchase a face/head mask if you want one and don't have one for $5. Their buggies are real VW engines, not small side by sides or a lawn mower engine and yes, you do need to know how to drive a manual transmission to be able to operate one. Charlie and Marianne described the way they would give us hand signals on our tour and how to get in and out of the buggies. We loaded up and headed out. We went down dirt roads, dusty roads, muddy roads, paved roads, through a farm, and stopped first at a lady's house in the country to see her garden and to try Dominican coffee and chocolate. We got muddy on some of the trails and loved it. Wear old clothes, swim trunks and old shoes if you have them with you. After that, we rode the countryside, drove past an old rock quarry, and went through some more rural trails until we stopped next in the middle of a Dominican farm. Next, we rode through some more paved roads into a little town and stopped at a corner store for a snack of coca-cola, ham and cheese. Then, we rode through town and stopped at public Macao Beach. It was beautiful and full of people. After putting our toes in the water and washing off some, we hung out and then met back up at the buggies. Our last trek was through town, down a highway at a decent speed and back to the buggy shop. Our half day tour lasted from about 8:15am until about 12:30pm, and we were back at out resort by 1pm. Marianne (spelling?) was our tour guide and was just fun to be with. She is Swiss and has the most awesome personality and sense of humor. She was an incredible host and really wanted us to have a great time. She took lots of pictures which were high quality along our trip and those are available for purchase when you return for $20 for a QR code which allowed us to download them all that afternoon. After our tour, Angela, the other owner, loaded us up and took us back to our resort. She was also very informational and friendly along the ride. I don't know what other buggy companies are offering, but I am glad we chose Xtreme Buggy Adventures with Charlie, Angela, and Marianne. We would do it again and highly recommend! 5 stars all the way if you are looking for a rugged, well ran excursion to see the DR in a unique way. - S. Emison

So I wanted to start by saying that Anni was great to deal with before arriving, the shuttle operator, and the return trip to the resort. The Good .... We were paired with a nice couple from Germany and they were super nice and made the experience fun. The Tour ... Unlike many buggy tours that are on a closed course you get to see the DR countryside. Get to see a store operation, a beach side home living, a active farm,spend time at the beach and have lunch at a Dominican home. That was described as a restaurant but didn't have signage or be in a place that would indicate that its a restaurant. Food was good and the people were very nice. The Tour Guide .... Charlie is Anni's husband and seems like a pretty good guy. The problem we had is that he constantly complained about being too old to be doing his job any longer. That tirades included profanity. He complained about the operation of the manual transmission buggy operation. This happened like 8-10 times during our full day tour. 4-5 were directed at me .... I'm older now as well and probably wouldn't have handled it so well when I was younger. Our friends said they wanted to park the buggy and get a cab back to the resort. The German couple (wish we would have exchanged info with them) said they would've had more fun if Charlie didn't complain about the Buggies the entire time. When we arrived at the beach there was a tour of horses that we met at a crossroad that had some deep sand. Instead of waiting for them to clear Charlie lost his patience and sped between the lines of horses. One of the horses had to move off the path to avoid be hit by the buggy. I followed him as he instructed buy hesitated when I saw him go toward the horses and got stuck in the deep sand. Charlie commented that he felt the horse guides thought they owned the road. Further at the farm the old man who owned the farm was speaking in Spanish to our friends, which we dont speak, the man was proud of his farm and his products which we were there to buy. Charlie interrupted the conversation with our friends and asked him to wrap it up. My friends told us later that he was very nice to any of the people that we visited during our tour. Finally. we visited the beach side home site.... We observed a horse tied closely to a tree. He had a big saddle with burlap padding on his back and didnt have much room to move. We noticed the horse fidgeting, having spasms, and didnt have access to drinking water. There was also dogs and cats laying around the site and not a bowl of water for them either. I know this is the tour folks fault but we found it to be particularly cruel. The cost of the tour was approximately $180 per person which was expensive. ***** I did notify Anni after our tour of our displeasure.
