“Oh my goodness!! We had such a blast in the mud with Amber Cove & Taino Bay Shore Excursion: 2 person Buggy Tour! There were two couples in our group Pepo picked us up at the port, and drove us to and back the ship. Great directions via texts! Frank and his crew took us through every mud puddle and lake he could find! We were lucky that the rain the day of the excursion filled the puddles with the required water!! We had an incredible time!! We have bookmarked this group to do it again on the next trip to DR!!”

Went with my thirteen year old daughter and the 20ft jumps didn’t phase her, nor me. Just a whole lot of fun. Food was pretty good as well, loved the rice and beans as well as the eggplant!”
