ATV Buggy Punta Cana Adventure - Dune Booguies Tours — Local services in Higüey

Totally self-inflicted. After seeing groups roll back to the hotel caked in mud and looking like they’d just returned from a wild off-road mission, my son and I figured—why not? Let’s get in on the action. So we signed up for one of those slick-looking buggy tours. Classic mistake.

Sure, we drove buggies… maybe 5 miles total, if you count crawling through “adventure zones” at a snail’s pace. But first, like obedient tourists, we were funneled into a cave swim—complete with a DJ because nothing says nature like house music echoing off the rocks. After that, we were treated to an enlightening seminar on coffee and chocolate, featuring their magical all-purpose cure that apparently fixes everything, especially libido and fertility. Because that’s exactly what I signed up for.

So why did everyone come back muddy? Well, the grand finale involved slowly driving through three carefully curated mud puddles, just enough to look rugged in the photos. Add a little dust for flair and boom—you’ve got your adventure shot.

If you’re after actual adrenaline or, say, driving at more than a brisk walking pace, look elsewhere. But if you’re into being shuffled around like theme park visitors with a mild splash of dirt, you’ll...

These reviews are not real. Go through and look how many 1st time reviews there are. We booked through this site and were then told we would be picked up by adventure boogies an obvious different company. Your first stop off the shuttle is a gift shop, a little over an hour of your 3 hour venture is spent here, where multiple people approach you with baskets begging you to buy. When you actually get into your utv, you drive single file going 10mph if you get out of a single file line you get stopped and yelled at by multiple different people. You might be thinking this is okay, I have a family… wrong. When the guides are not standing in the road peeing in full view of the train of utvs you’re going the the most poverty striken areas you could think of and have small children rushing the vehicles begging. You then get to stop and see a cute little dance by 5 people and spend 20 minutes waiting for the guides to take photos. The whole ordeal lasts 4 hours, only about 1 is spent in the utv’s. It’s a complete waste. If this was free, it would not...

Worst excursion done in Punta Cana, Macao. We were a group of 4 local workers. We wanted fun, and that's clearly not where we got it. We arrived at the buggy center. They rushed us to pay. In cash it's $50, with a card they steal 20% more tax, or almost $75. We waited for over an hour sitting on a bench. To start with an hour late. Normally we pay for 3 hours, and we only did 2 hours. Instead of letting us do our 3-hour excursion, the guide only gave us 10 minutes at the beach and not even 5 minutes at the cenote. A race against time to get the guide back on time. But only after 2 hours of the tour. Also, if you want thrills, speed, mud, ... Don't go there. I had my foot more on the brake than on the accelerator. No feeling. Hell. The taxi to arrive had no air conditioning and was filled with trash everywhere. On the way back, it was hell, the shuttle was full, which hadn't been announced, and a full detour to drive everyone back. In short, run away, this excursion doesn't bring...
