4x4 Dominican Adventure with Chocolate and Coffee Tasting from Punta Cana

This was a great excursion. Me and my girls did this excursion for a bachelorette party, and we really enjoyed ourselves. We especially enjoyed our tour guide Charlie :D. He and his crew were so helpful in making sure our ATVs were working properly all throughout the trip. They really made us feel safe. The pickup was really smooth from our Airbnb. My favorite things were the cenote (It was beautiful!) and the Macao Beach (It was even more beautiful!) My least favorite thing was the chocolate and coffee tasting. It was essentially a Tupperware presentation LOL.

Luis was amazing! We had such a good time! The transportation was an adventure truly- open air buggy lol. But Luis showed us all the sites and made us so comfortable! We had a blast! Way more than I expected!

Disorganized and chaotic from the start. The coffee and chocolate tasting is unsurprisingly one long, inescapable sales pitch made worse by the man giving speech. The quads were fun (especially for first timers) but you drive in a single file line at controlled speeds the entire time. If you’re lucky, you’ll find moments here and there where you can open it up. Warning: almost all of the atv/buggy tours are located in the same park and take the same route, so I’m assuming my experience is not limited to the tour operator.

Things to know before you book: 1. The chocolate tasting part is like an informercial. Not interactive. You get the taste to green tea, coffee, Dominican alcohol that is being offered for sale. Some proceeds go to the children of the community which is a positive. 2. The cenote is DEEP. If you can’t swim. Bring a life jacket with you or you can rent it. Unfortunately, I didn’t have extra cash for it. That was a real bummer for me. 3. Once you get on the buggy or ATV. You don’t get any opportunity to change. Make sure you have your swimwear on before you ride. It felt like a go.go.go situation. 4. Everything is for sale. Everyone that interacts with you is trying to sell you something. Some sales men are bold and will touch you trying to guide you to take a pic with their animals or buy their goods. The only thing you are paying for is the guide and the atv riding. Highly suggest you stay close to your guide and look ahead if you don’t want to buy anything. What I enjoyed: 1. The ATV ride was awesome. I enjoyed every moment. There are a lot of children, mothers asking for aid on the trail. Be careful not to hurt anyone. 2. A photographer comes with you. If you know you are going to purchase the picture- Take a lot of it(in swimwear, coverup, hat). The photographers here are phenomenal. You will pay for it, but trust me-this is the best photographs I have received from a tour. 3. Our guide was great. His assistant was doing tricks which was fun to watch. 4. The beach was beautiful. Overhaul of salesmen but I liked that he watched our belongings so we can freely have fun. I will recommend it, but hopefully they can make improvements to this tour or they might get a lot of disgruntled reviews in the future.

We waited for 45 mins at the front of the hotel and no one showed up. We texted and called also no one answered or responded. Please refund all money

Great experience! Luis was our guide and was really knowledgeable. It had rained the night before, so we got soaked by the puddles. But the dip in the ocean cleaned us right off.

Pick up at our resort was right on time, and so was the drop off. The driver even made an additional stop at our request. I thought our tour guide Luis was excellent at ensuring our entire group stayed together. The only drawbacks were we had to wait for over an hour for our tour to start, so we were rushed at Macao beach. We did not stay at the cennote for long because it was very crowded. Additionally, the "green tea" we bought at the chocolate and rum tasting spot does not seem to be green tea at all. I drink green tea daily and after brewing the leaves, they did not look anything like my normal cups of green tea. Also, the hot chocolate requires straining. I thought it would dissolve like other hot chocolate, so I would say skip buying these products. Lastly, I thought it was unprofessional that the presenter kept asking us to "bless him," by way of tips. He repeated it so many times it became an obligation and not an option to tip.

Charlie was the tour guide and was excellent would highly recommend went on 10/08/21 everything was fun will get mud on you especially picking the buggy of choice to tour!! Be prepared for it atv was really fun book your tour now!!!!

Our guide, Charlie was awesome! He looked after our safety and well being all while providing a fun time.

This is a MUST DO!! Do not let this slip away. Highly recommend doing the earliest trip they have so you can take advantage of the rest of the day since this excursion is a couple hours but amazing. Thank you to our tour guide Charlie, he was nothing but pleasant, informative and enforced all safety rules to ensure we all had an enjoyable but safe time. We had enough time in all stops to enjoy the view and the water. I would definitely do this again!
