    Bumpy ride with a beautiful view!

    We took the open air military / monster truck adventure. The scenery was great. We went to see a home, a school, and had lunch. I’d recommend it, unless you have neck or back issues because it’s a rough ride. If you don’t have a bad back, you might by the time the tour is over. The reason for the 4-stars is that it was difficult to understand Alex, our guide. He shared what I’m sure were interesting stories and facts - but we got parts of what he was saying. Other than that, it was different and we could handle the hard jolts of the ride (sit as far forward as possible). So if you’re looking for something different, give it a go!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for visiting us and for taking the time to share your review! We truly appreciate it. We hope to welcome you back again soon for many more MEGA adventures together — it was an absolute pleasure having you with us! 😊

    A Great Adventure!

    We had a wonderful experience with our guide Eduardo and driver David. The tour was interesting & informative. Eduardo was so knowledgeable and friendly. We loved our tour of the school and house in the mountain community and our lunch was delicious. The road was bumpy & the truck ride was windy, but we loved it & would recommend it to anyone who would like to experience real life in the Dominican Republic.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for visiting us and taking the time to leave us a review!! We hope to have you back in the future for more MEGA ADVENTURES together! It was our pleasure!

    Mega truck tour was awesome! Would definitely recommend! Eduardo and Santiago were a power team!

    Eduardo was awesome! Very knowledgeable and answered lots of questions. Santiago our driver navigated the country and city like a pro.

    Excellent way to appreciate the country

    We took the Mega Truck tour whilst docked here on a cruise. Booked as an excursion through cruise line. Alex was an excellent tour guide, full of local knowledge about every subject from the economy to eco system. Also a very friendly and helpful personality. The driver, Santiago, was also excellent and helpful. The drive does, as they warn, get very bumpy at times so is not for everyone. The visit with a local family and the drive through the countryside were the highlights. The lunch and tour back at the ranch were great. Highly recommended.

    Fabulous ride. Mega truck.

    We booked this tour while on the boat. It was well worth it. We got to drive through the countryside and visit a school. The kids were so excited and friendly. They gave us all hugs. Eduardo and Daniel were fantastic tour guides and very friendly. We also got lunch and got to hold a bird. I just wished I would have known that you could bring school supplies, toys and candy for the kids at the school. Would love to do this again.

    Full-Day Buggy Driving and Waterfall Swimming Experience: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Plata.

    How much does Full-Day Buggy Driving and Waterfall Swimming Experience cost?

    +

    Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Plata usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full-Day Buggy Driving and Waterfall Swimming Experience take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Plata is not rushed.

    Is Full-Day Buggy Driving and Waterfall Swimming Experience worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 47 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Plata, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full-Day Buggy Driving and Waterfall Swimming Experience?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Full-Day Buggy Driving and Waterfall Swimming Experience suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Full-Day Buggy Driving and Waterfall Swimming Experience?

    +

    Around 16 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Plata can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Plata and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full-Day Buggy Driving and Waterfall Swimming Experience start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Plata within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Puerto Plata?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puerto Plata experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Puerto Plata Highlights City Tours from amber cove and Taino bay, Puerto Plata City Tour, Half Day City Tour in Puerto Plata. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Puerto Plata?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Puerto Plata?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Full-Day Buggy Driving and Waterfall Swimming Experience?

    +

    Included: Transportation back and from hotels; Buggies; homemade dominican lunch; and Equipment for the waterfalls + buggys (helmets, etc). Not included: Photos and/or videos - for sale either directly at ranch or online; alcoholic drinks; and USD$10.00 extra fee per person for pick ups in Sosua/ Cabarete,.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 41 listed pickup locations in and around Puerto Plata. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Full-Day Buggy Driving and Waterfall Swimming Experience offered in?

    +
