This is an absolutely phenomenal experience a real excursions. Unexpected adventures and so much fun. Definitely a must do. Worth every penny and more
This was, without question, one of the most fun excursions I’ve ever been on. If not THE best. It was incredible and so much fun. Every single person we met in the D.R. (including staff) were SO friendly. Our buggy did suffer a minor complication throughout the ride, but the crew was suuuper quick and had us on a back-up buggy right away. Beware of the Bergantin beach. This is part of the tour, and you stop for a moment to enjoy the beach…but 1 problem. The vendors. Immediately after you get off the buggy for the beach break, the vendors IMMEDIATELY swarm you trying to get you to spend an outrageous amount of money on their cheap jewelry, braids, etc. once we were back on the buggy’s for the 2nd part of the tour, the rest was a blast. You WILL get dirty, and you WILL take a half-hour shower back on the ship once you get back. They do offer a shower right at the end of the excursion while you’re waiting for your bus back to the ship. They have a very organized and well structured setup. I encourage you to spend the outrageous money on a bandana and glasses because you WILL need them. It’s VERY muddy and dirty. They’re 5 bucks each. Seriously one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Will do this excursion every single time I come back to the D.R. GIVE THEM A SHOT!! 65 bucks a person is MORE than fair for the experience!!!
I had so much fun doing this experience! They were so nice and for 60 dollars more they send you all the pictures/video they took. I am talking about almost 200 pictures and a 13 minute video! The experience was so awesome too. It was really fun they took us through the Campo and through rivers. Do not wear something nice as you will get dirty/wet. They also took us to taste cigars and to drink a standard dominican drink. And they even took us to the beach! Also the timing was great. They got us back early to the Port that we were able to explore the city.
This was a great experience! So much fun and the tour guides were very friendly! We got very muddy but the end offered a refreshing way to clean off all the dirt
Sooooooo fun. Hanson was a great guide and was patient. Even the ride back to the ship was a great experience, was like 2 tours in 1. Be sure to wear water shoes and cover as much skin as possible because there will be mud and cow poop(good for the skin
Crazy time!! So fun!! It was cool to see the free roaming cows and horses as we trekked out to the beach. Bring small bills for the beach if you want to purchase beverages or souvenirs from the locals. When my son took over the driving, he sent a tsunami of water up and Over us! Bring a trash bag for anything you care about, it will get drenched in mud! I was thankful for the outside showers when we returned. However, I did throw away all my clothes when I returned to the ship. Things that are good to know: it was a half hour ride from Taino bay and then a half hour ride to the beach by buggy. I do recommend bringing a bandana to cover your mouth, they do sell them for $5 a piece. I also didn’t know I had to rent the goggles, another $5 a piece. We had some buggy trouble on the way back, but they gave us one of the ATV’s until a new buggy arrived. We had left ourselves plenty of time, so each time a buggy needed attention, it wasn’t a problem. It was a fun and exciting time to drive these buggies!
