It was such a great experience. Loved it all. The ATV was a good long ride and the beach plus cave were a nice add on. Thank you for a great tour.

Great day. Tour guide rude.

Joshua_M, Aug 2023

Was a really good experience overall. Had a briefing then we drove to this shop where they had cigars and other stuff they try and get you too buy. You don't get a free cigar. You have to pay for it. Then we went to the caves which was really good however the tour guide made everything rushed. He was rude and made everything rushed. After jumping in the caves me and my partner was getting our shoes back on and he was just starring at us saying "everyone is waiting on you 2 hurry up". When this wasnt the case. Very rude. However apart from that the actually dune bugging experience was overall really good.

Good, Could've Been Better

NaKia_C, Jun 2023

I enjoyed my experience overall. I loved getting dirty and splashing through the mud puddles! They also give you a lot of riding time and enough time for the beach, cave, and cigar portions of the tour. My only disappointment was that I never received the photos I paid $40 for! I tried the phone number and email provided and am still waiting to hear something! I would suggest this experience, just don't buy the pictures unless they can guarantee to give them to you before you leave the area!

Disappointed

Titania_M, Nov 2022

We paid for an upgrade but when they put us in our upgraded buggy one guy stated " I see you guys paid for an upgrade and that he could take us on a private tour for an extra $90" and when we declined he changed our buggy out. We did not experience the muddy adventure that we paid for. We came back just as clean as we left. We were disappointed. Paying for the upgrade is not worth it, the regular buggy gets you very muddy.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hi Titania, thank you for your feedback. Not sure what happened because you already paid for the VIP buggy online, so you chose the best vehicle. The only upgrade you could at the ranch was to go for the private tour, but in case you didn't accept, you still had to do the tour with the VIP buggy. Probably a misunderstanding with the guide but In case please get back to us by email to clarify this point. Regarding the mud, the tour develops on the countryside. Macao is usually a very humid and rainy area so the trail is most of the days wet. Probably last week didn't rain and you found the trail dry, sometimes can happen unfortunately and we are sorry for that. kind regards

Richelle_M, Aug 2022

Riding dune buggy and seeing the beautiful scenery. Very pushy with wanting to buy video and pictures would not take no for answer . Ten minutes just to repeat not wanting to buy. Started our adventure on a sour note

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Thank you Richelle for your review. We will investigate more about your feedback as the staff and the photographers are trained to offer the extras (photos and vehicle upgrade) without pushing the customers. regards, Claudio

Not COVID safe and way to many people

Wesley_G, Aug 2021

No English person to explain the tour only Spanish or French. It's not organized (one person telling you to get on a buggie and then two more people telling you not to get on it and get on another one). Way to many people on this buggie ride to actually ride. It was over 30 buggies and other tour companies was with us too and that made it over 100 buggies. We stopped 1 minute after taking off on the buggies to get coffee (lets just say they don't care about Covid, it was over 100 people under a shed that was getting coffee). After that, we went to the cave and It was way too many people to even get to it. Further, we didn't even go to the beach. Very disappointed

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Hi there, we're very sorry to hear you din't enjoy the time in the dune buggy ride. Unfortunately the day of your tour we were very busy and overbooked as we're facing the high season. When there are many people always the tour turns a bit rushed and the stops very crowded. That's a downside of this tour so we completely understand your feedback. Sorry about it

Fun Experience

Erika_W, Aug 2021

We had a great time!! It was so much fun and we will book again. Thanks for a blast in Punta Cana!!!

Dirty and Fun

Marquita_S, Apr 2021

You will definitely get dirty on this excursion! But I had a blast! I thought I booked the buggy but we got a 4 wheeler instead! The stops along the way were great! Just be prepared for the locals to be really pushy to sell you stuff or ask for money. But overall if you want to see the country outside the resort this is a great experience!

Super

Alexander_R, Aug 2018

Se pasa super bien. Solo que deberían hacer lo con grupos más pequeños y más tiempo en la playa. También más opciones para comer. El staff realiza un gran trabajo. It happens super good. Only they should do it with smaller groups and more time on the beach. Also more options to eat. The staff does a great job.
