Bavaro Buggies - This 1/2 day adventure lasted from 11:35 until 4:30. It was an excellent adventure. Not too slow and not to quick. Our guide -choco-banana was excellent. During the buggy ride, there was clear and present supervision throughout. We stopped to try D.R coffee, cigars and visit a cultural environment. We were given lunch, a traditional chicken, beans with rice, plantains and salad. We stopped at a cenote, a place to swim. After lunch, we had time to go swim at a waterfall. They have showers to remove all the mud from the buggies. The prices for excursion pictures are priced high but you can buy them individually. Overall, we had fun and would definitely return for more.

Expect to get dirty - This excursion was so much better than I thought it was going to be. Charlie was our guide and he was very professional and helpful. He addressed the group and let us all know the rules and what to expect. Charlie and the other workers did an awesome job of keeping the group together and ensured everyone's safety! Definitely an incredible experience!!

Buggies costa bavaro - We booked this trip and thought it would give us a chance to see other parts of the island but it was a well worn route designed to try and get tourists to spend money at set stops. There was little time at the cave and beach which in the end we were grateful for as we were hassled none stop to go in the shops/bars etc even after politely declining numerous times. The buggies were unsafe, the brakes and steering were not suitable for the road yet part of the tour took us on roads which we found extremely dangerous just travelling to and from the tour base in a minibus. There was numerous people along the route having issues with buggies not working. One buggy in the group in front of us set on fire! Luckily no one was in it when we passed it,vehicle maintenance seems to be optional! There was no information from the guides about the areas we stopped in. We had to watch for when our group moved off as no one told us how long we would have at the stop and we felt we could just end up left behind. The time spent off road was fun and you do get extremely dirty which is what we expected. The experience was just spoilt by being hassled to buy things. To be honest don’t waste your time or money do your homework as there is much better ones out there with top notch buggies unlike the death traps we were in. We booked through the rep at the hotel thinking this would result in the safest/best experience, unfortunately not.

Waste of a day and money - A trip purely to try and get you to spend more money This trip was all about taking you to places to buy things , 10 mins on a beach so no time to go in the water but full of local vendors harassing you 10 mins at the cave and all the rest just shops , Local village is just an empty theme park with actors doing a 5 minute dance looking totally disinterested Save your money for the boat trips they are amazing

DO NOT BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY - The most memorable part was the part where they kept us for hours trying to sell us products before we even saw the buggies, then when it was time to ride out they informed us that "due to it been the weekend" we would not do the Macao Beach part of the tour, which is the key part of the tour. They then took us around in circles until 40 minutes expired. Do Not Book with these people. They will say tour starts at 1:45 PM and to be ready at 12:45, but they will not pick you up until 2:30 PM. You won't ride a buggy until 4 PM and you will go back to your hotel very pissed after 7 PM. You will have wasted an entire day that you could have enjoyed at the pool or the beach or doing whatever else you wished. I was not the only one that left that place very disappointed. I have taken the buggy tour before and it was great, but this one company, this last one. DO NOT BOOK. You will regret it.
