Tips for a great adventure
Know Before You Go
Get ready for an unforgettable off-road experience through the heart of the Dominican Republic! Buggy rides are one of the most popular and exhilarating excursions on the island — perfect for adventure seekers who want to discover the island’s natural beauty, rustic charm, and a splash of mud! Before you rev your engine, here are some important tips to make your ride safe, fun, and hassle-free:
What to Expect
Rugged Trails & Natural Wonders
Drive through scenic dirt roads, sugarcane fields, local villages, and tropical forests. Many tours include stops at hidden beaches, caves, or natural rivers for a quick swim or photo opportunity.
Expect to Get Dirty (Really Dirty!)
Between muddy trails and water splashes, your clothes will take a hit. That’s half the fun — but don’t wear your nicest outfit!
Local Culture Meets Thrill Ride
Some tours include a visit to a local farm to taste cacao, coffee, or fresh tropical fruit. It’s a fun way to connect with Dominican life off the resort path.
What to Bring
Safety & Tour Tips
Driver’s License
Required if you plan to drive the buggy. Most tours only allow licensed adults behind the wheel.
Listen to your guide
It’s tempting to go full speed, but safety comes first. Follow instructions — especially on hilly or slippery terrain.
Clothes You Don’t Mind Ruining
Go for old shirts, shorts, and closed-toe shoes.
Snap Safely
Want to capture the thrill? Use a chest or helmet-mounted camera for action shots. If you stop to take photos, make sure you’re parked in a safe, designated area.
Bandana or Face Covering
To keep dust and mud out of your mouth and nose.
Double Riders vs. Solo Buggies
Couples or families can share a buggy, but make sure you’re okay with who’s driving!
Sunglasses or Goggles
Eye protection is a must!
Secure Your Gear
Loose items like phones, hats, and water bottles can go flying. Use zippered bags or onboard compartments to keep your essentials safe and sound.
Towel & Change of Clothes
Especially helpful for the ride back.
Water & Sunscreen
Stay hydrated and protected from the Caribbean sun.
