4.00Lots of fun. Expect to get dirty. The only thing bad was the long walk from the ship to the pick up point.
Highly recommend this...

5.00Highly recommend this company. We really enjoyed our tour and the staff was so friendly. After the tour we ate at the camp ground (only $10) and me and my husband LOVED the food. It was easy to find the meeting point and from the moment we met with them, they really made it such a wonderful day.
Great ATVs experience, poor Customer Service

4.00We had a great time driving ATVs through muddy areas. The negative aspect is being taken to a remote gift shop with overpriced items and being expected to purchase there as "part of the tour." At the end, we also felt like we were being held at the meeting point in order to force customers to buy food or drink at their location, or purchase their $40 digital photo package. Overall, the ATV part is amazing, but the scammy forced sales take away from the experience.

5.00Willy, Ari, and another guy (sorry I forgot your name) took great care of us. The directions to find them outside the cruise port were great. To start off, they fit us with helmets and goggles and gave us instructions. You will get muddy but how muddy is up to you. We drove down some city streets and then we drove through a muddy trail with several water puddles. After that, we had a stop at a little store in town where we tasted hot chocolate and cocoa beans. You can also try their coffee, and some type of liquor. Drinks are available to buy, and there is a small gift shop and several photo spots. If you choose to buy something, Willy will keep it secure and mud free and give it to you back at their facilities. Then we drove back down the way we came and went over to a beach. The beach we stopped at was beautiful and the water was so warm. They gave us a water bottle at the beach which was so nice to have that day. From the beach, we drove down city streets to get back to the facilities. Ari takes wonderful pictures along the way to capture the experience. At the facilites, there are lockers you can rent. If you take your belongings, make sure you have them secured in a waterproof bag. After we rinsed off in the outdoor showers, Ari showed us our pictures and the video she had made of the adventure. The facilities are about a 5-7 minute drive from the Amber Cove cruise port. They dropped us off right outside the terminal when we were done. I highly recommend if you want this adventure then choose this group to go with.

5.00This was a fun and absolutely messy time! We rode through so many mud puddles, and a small stream during the excursion. Wear clothes that you don’t mind throwing away because you will be covered in mud.
Great way to see some of Dominican Republic.

5.00Had a great time. When they advertise that you will get wet and dirty they are not kidding! Bring a towel and possibly some old clothes that can be stored in locker for $5.

5.00Awesome experience. Be prepared for a thrill. Staff go out their way ti ensure your safety and fun. 1/2 day adventure with the off road dirty and wet ride, beach water is nice and warm with a picturesque view. Village folks are very kind and helpful. Recommend for folks that’s looking for an adventure.
