The experience

The moment the engine catches, the buggy is yours, and the ground ahead is rugged and uneven. Muddy puddles wait in the path, and you splash straight through them. Every stretch of terrain asks you to keep steering and stay in the moment, and that is where the adrenaline comes from.

Between the bumps and splashes, the route runs past beaches and country sites around Puerto Plata, all seen from the buggy as you pass. The natural landscapes stay in view while you ride, so the scenery moves alongside you. Amber Cove and Taino Bay are on the way too, passed in the flow of the ride rather than stopped at.

A guide comes with you on the tour, and the round trip transportation is included, so the ride from start to finish is covered. What stays with you is the mix of mud, speed and open views.
