You Will Get Very Dirty!! - We had the best time - we felt safe, we had fun and we got DIRTY!! I loved that they provided helmets, eye goggles and handkerchiefs because you will definitely need it all! There are showers and lockers if you want to clean up afterwards. I highly recommend this excursion

dirty but fun - We had a great time. The crew were very friendly and treated us well. I would recommend to anyone that loves adventure. You will get dirty and covered in mud so dress accordingly.

Really yucky. Some fun parts. - I definitely wouldn’t have gone in this excursion if I understood what it was really like. You are not doing a dune buggy in the jungle you are driving through the literally street water of Puerto Plata. There are some more rural areas that you drive through as well but then you’re at risk for getting cow poo flying in your face as you’re driving through the mud. It’s more unsanitary and disgusting than like fun dirty mud. There is one part where you drive through a pond and where you go to the beach and can get some local food. I will say this is probably the best part of it.

Find another excursion - DO NOT BOOK. Def not worth the price… u mainly drive on either the main rd thru a neighborhood or on the side of the main road in a trash filled ditch… u go thru 1 “mud “ experience.. but it’s really more trash then anything.. and the beach isn’t anything special. The trip was 90mins in total and that’s with 30 mins at the beach to eat.

Not as advertised. - This was not a four to five hour excursion. We were done in 3 1/2 hours including transportation and a delay because our buggy broke down. The ride was fun but not what was promised. The beach to Swim at was very dirty and unappealing.
