Ride a two-person buggy from sugar cane fields to a muddy beach near Cabarete, with hotel pickup, gear, guides, and practical tips.
“I had no problem with the buggys used, they were fine and suitable for the terrain you encounter. The trip to get to the actual off-road site requires the driver to navigate through the towns small streets and across a highway. Most of the buggy trip is not very scenic. There was lots of garbage in the fields and woods you traverse. The beach that you go to is very nice, one of the nicest I encountered in Sosua. The downside is this is a tourist trap where people will constantly bug you to buy their goods while caked in mud. The mud we encountered was just intermittent mud holes.…”

“Fantastische activiteit. Het begin al met een hele aardige chauffeur. Hij sprak goed Engels en kon ons van alles vertellen. Hij zette ons af bij de locatie, waar we een privé- buggy tour gingen doen. We hadden geluk dat we de enige waren. De tour was heel leuk en wild! Echte aanrader. Je word lekker vies. Prachtige foto’s gekocht, wel duur. Nadien dezelfde chauffeur die ons terugbracht. Chauffeur van J Carlos heeft ons zelf geld geleend, voor het kopen van de foto’s. Daarna heeft hij ons geholpen om in een winkel een echt voetbal shirt te kopen, op ons verzoek. Al met al, een topervaring. J Carlos is een topbedrijf…”
