“Here are some things I wish I knew before I went on this excursion. There are many of these tours, the big companies with large facilities and more modern equipment come with a large, (like 15-20 buggy convoy) tours. Lots of people with you at each stop. This tour was clearly one of the little guys, so equipment is a little rougher and facilities are basic, but our 11 person group did not feel crowded at the stops. Generally a tour guide makes or breaks the experience in most cases. We had Kitson, who was clear about safety and gave us the straight talk on local merchants. He was a…”

Drivers such as Jose, Jay, and Francisco have been praised for friendly service and useful local tips.

“When I booked through the viator website, I put in my pickup, and drop up off locations. I paid $60 in advance for what was supposed to be a round trip service. It was not. Once we landed, before I was even picked up. The transportation owner/worker advised me that it would be an additional $60 because I put Punta Cana, not the actual city(I wasn’t aware) which was an hour away. That put a really bad taste on my mouth, from the beginning of my trip. The only reason I’m giving 2 stars is because the drivers were nice, and punctual. I feel like I was misled, and taken…”

But overall excursion itself was fun for me and my wife we wanted to ride ATV individually to get that experience. I will recommend , make sure to bring some googles which you can buy from Amazon , and if your riding ATVs buy some motorcycle gloves only because your hands will get sore from holding onto the handle bars. My hands were bruised because I bruised easily. And make sure to buy a mask I will suggest an…”
