Review of Puerto Plata’s muddy two-person buggy tour from Amber Cove or Taino Bay, with beach time, safety tips, pricing, and cruise-day advice.

“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!!”
