They were incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely dedicated to making sure everyone had a great time. Their instructions were clear, the atmosphere was enjoyable, and it was evident they wanted us to relish every moment of the day. The scenic stops were stunning, the service was exceptional, and we never felt hurried. This tour was undoubtedly one of the highlights of our vacation, and we would happily choose it again.

88. ATV adventure tour in Puerto Plata
4.4· 68 reviews· 3 hoursTwo hours exploring the Dominican countryside in a four-wheeled ATV, with off-road driving along river beds and rural landscapes, driver shared or solo.
“I will provide an honest evaluation covering the positive and negative aspects of the experience. The tour guides were polite and friendly, which was a positive. However, this tour was concerning for us as experienced ATV riders. The pickup from our hotel went smoothly, but upon arrival, we encountered severely worn-out ATVs that were in dangerous condition. Every ATV had bald tires, some with cracks, and broken components, including non-functioning brake lights. Many units were leaking fluids, which made the experience even more alarming. One rider had to change vehicles when fluid sprayed on her feet. The overall maintenance of these ATVs was alarming, with my husband’s ATV shutting off during the ride. We were provided with inadequate safety gear, such as bicycle helmets, which are insufficient for potential accidents. It is also unsafe to pair two people on a one-person ATV, which increases the risk of tipping. The lack of safety training was troubling; we had to offer advice to other riders who were inexperienced. The only guidance we received was to accelerate uphill and brake downhill, which is hardly acceptable. Regarding the tour's description, it was misleading. There was no river crossing, and we instead sat by a small sandy area briefly before leaving. We rode on dirt roads littered with garbage and ended up at a rocky beach that wasn't at all appealing. We did not experience the advertised cigar rolling, hot chocolate, or coffee tastings. Instead, the focus was on navigating poorly maintained ATVs, and other participants also expressed disappointment. Locals attempted to sell overpriced items, which felt disrespectful. I regret spending over $200 on this tour and wish I could receive a refund. This review is a genuine account of our experience, and I hope others consider their safety and the misrepresentation of this tour.”— Kim_B
