Boogies & Polaris - Extreme Adventure In Punta Cana

Jose from friendly host pulled together an amazing excursion in very short time. Jose made this an amazing experience! The Polaris buggies were great. Our first buggy had an issue, as will happen with mechanical vehicles from time to time, but they quickly had us in another bigger better badder buggy! We had omega as our guide and he made it a blast! It had been dry recently so not a lot of big puddles to get muddy, but there was plenty of jungle driving fun out to the beach and the cave. Would do this again!

This is a third party booking company it does not represent the buggy companies. Depending on your luck you may get assigned a good tour or you can get assigned to a crappy tour. We got assigned to Macao buggy tour. Don’t waste your time and money here. Highly unorganized and most of the time your just sitting around doing nothing. The tour spent most of the time trying to sell you stuff. The buggy tour group was massive at least 20-30 vehicles. Most of the time you going around 5 miles an hour and stopping a lot. The vehicles are run down and in terrible condition. Literally parts and panels of the buggy were held together with ropes. I have been on many tours in the DR and this was the first I want to end the tour early if it were possible. At the 3 locations we stopped to visit we were there barley 10 mins. Macao beach was the last part of the tour and was there literally 10 minutes. Just ordered drink from the bar and it was time to leave again. Waste of money and time.

Dishonest tour agency. Very crowded and disorganized tour. Vehicles in poor condition, constantly breaking down. Stops only last 15-20 minutes so you have no time to enjoy the places visited. One of the guides actually stole my brand new iPhone when we changed vehicles due to a breakdown. I Used find my iphone to chase him around 3 different cities for several hours to finally get it back. He had been trying to sell at many different mobile phone stores. This tour operator is a group of unprofessional shady, crooks. Stay far away.

Horrible experience, Broken down equipment driven at slow speeds down dusty roads along with all the other tour companies , crowding the same 3 stops

The Polaris ride was fun. My only compliant was to many people in line to follow and buggies kept breaking down holding up the line. Also the venders need to quit harassing you about buying stuff telling you how to spend your money.

The group tour was HUGE, buggies would break down, causing the group to have to stop, which made the tour VERY SLOW. The children on the side of the route would harass you for money, try to grab your bag and items inside, if not completely closed up. After you returned, you were harassed to buy the photos from the tour, then set for an hour waiting to board the bus back to your resort.

Did the buggy tour, worst experience ever. This must be a third party vendor because we were given the tour through family buggy. If you are getting picked up from majestic hotels you’ll need to get picked up outside the front gate. So we needed to walk 7 minutes to the gate. Was told tours would be around 5-10 buggy’s per tour and ended up with 30+ buggy’s. So extremely slow tour. Another buggy driver from the tour in front of us was drinking and driving and no one stopped them. Too short time at the beach and way too long and unorganized in other places. No direction given it’s a free for all. Over half the 30+ buggy’s had mechanical issues along the way. We had to change three buggy’s during the tour as they all broke down. Choose the 10 am time slot, majestic pick up was at 11:15am Didn’t get dropped back off till 5:28pm. No food no water. Terrible never again.

This company was very Reliable and Fun! They have great communication and were willing to accommodate schedule change as we needed. Thank you!

The polaris was great although it's kind of slow in a group..the cave swim was exhilarating and Pepe was a great guide. I wouldn't buy anything in the boogies store it's cheaper on the excursion. Oh and Macao beach was gorgeous..

The buggies are ragged out and lots broke down/difficult to keep running. Tour was unorganized and rushed along. Should have spent more money on a better tour company. You will definitely get muddy! It was still fun but disappointed overall. Had different expectations.

I cant even fully explain in words how awesome this experience was. We had been buggying before on previous trips, we wanted something a little different this time { we were open to different vehicles and/or different locations). This tour is a smaller tour, there was us 4 and one other couple IN TOTAL. One of the reasons we did this tour was because the gave the option of Polaris or buggys, , we were interested in all the locations AND we saw they catered towards smaller groups so that our experience could be better. On our tour, we watched other tours have 30 buggys at a time pass us. definitely NOT what we wanted- so we know we picked correctly. Kyle reached out to me directly once we booked the tour ( im talking within half an hour. we booked it at 10 om so i was shocked) i was able to talk to him, ask him the questions we wanted but couldn't find answers to an we locked everything down. We booked 4 polaris vehicles and made sure we each got our own! Then when it was buggy day we drove to a designated pick up location and Sabrina ( the owner herself) picked us up in a suv and brought us to the place. We loved how personal that was, we has small talk the whole way. From there we got our helmets and our vehicles. We met our tour guide Omega and our photographer. Also on our tour was a mechanic that came with us in case anything went wrong it could be fixed asap. Off we went, through trails, fields, puddles palm trees! the HAcienda we stopped at was far superior than the one we stopped at with other companies. It was colorful, and interesting. We saw raw cocoa beans, coffee, oregano and other things grown on the farm. We ground our own chocolate and learned about the chocolate and coffee making process and samples it in the various stages. We samples the final product of hot coffee and hot cocoa and mamajuana. We took photos in the various areas of the land. there was a small shop to purchase things from, but no one was pushy about anything, which we appreciate. Next- back on the buggys to the part i was most excited about, a cenote. we parked in a small lot across the street which had bathrooms and a small bar that served beverages. We then walk across the street to the cave- here was overwhelming- in THIS spot we were bombarded with various souvenir stands- they will try to pull you in all different directions. You have to know how to be direct, say no and walk away. Omega was always close to use while he lead us through. You go down a few steps and there it is It was BEAUTIFUL. i didnt hesitate, i was in the water for the entire time of our stop there. I could see the bottom, they helped me in and out. i didnt want to jump in so there was someone in the water that helped me get in. I would have spent all day there. I told Omega to make sure he gives me a 10 minute heads up before we have to leave so i can get out and dry off a little and put my clothes back on, he did. Then from there, back in the vehicles and to the beach! Maccao is beyond gorgeous! we had some time there to relax, take photos , we put out feet in, but didnt swim because the water was rough that day- the other couple went in. At this beach- they have people with Maccaws, monkeys and iguanas that will let you take photos for tips. This last stop at maccao is only about 5 minutes back to the ranch. So after we were done there we went back, were able to rinse off in some out door showers they have and review and purchase our photos. I absolutely recommend this company over all other ones, we will definitely be redoing this, and we will be sending our friends and family to them too.

We took the buggy trip with our 2 kids of 8 and 5 and everybody had a great time! We took the time to look for that kind of trip outside of a tour operator and definitely did not regret it. The service was great, we were only 2 buggies that day and crossed huge groups of up to 25 buggies, a photograph was following us and took great family pictures. And last but not least, it is way less expensive than what tour operators offer. Only small downside: we did not stay very long on Macao beach.

From start to finish to the surprising stops and the beautiful beach rest at the end was simply amazing ..no regrets and I highly recommend

We recently booked with this company and couldn’t be happier with the service we received. They picked us up on time from our hotel, gave us a buggy that was in good condition for our family of four. Macao beach was amazing! And the cave was such a fun experience! I love the fact that we were never rushed by our tour guides and were able to enjoy every stop. Thank you to the “paparazzi” (tour guides) for all the wonderful pictures you took of my family and I. Memories that will last a lifetime! Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would recommend them to anyone traveling to punta Cana and wanting to do an excursion outside of their hotel!

Me and my husband did the buggy excursion on 08/27/19..and we had a blast!! We were picked up at our resort at the time that was given to us ahead of time. Everything was explained to us in detail prior to leaving the facility. The buggies were super fun...we ride through mud puddles and down dirt roads and we got quite dirty-but that was the fun part!! Macao beach was beautiful and the cave was breathtaking. We will definitely use them again for another excursion when we return to Punta Cama. The "paparazzi" photos were great and reasonably priced. No complaints!!

The trip in buggies to the beach MACAO great then the visit to see how they make tobacco is very good and to finish in the cute blue cenote. Great distribution of times and view. Excellent vacation on RD and kyle care

Good experience at buggy's was a great day with the people of Vacation On Rd!! Thank you for your services

We hired Kyle on the recommendation of friends and it was the best choice we made We contract Transfer airport-hotel-airport We also made buggis had such a great time and Kyle so attentive to us that he seemed to know us all his life we loved the excursion. We had also hired saona but I got sick of the belly and had to cancel it and Kyle spent my whole stay on the trip worrying about my health I WILL REPEAT WITHOUT HESITATION !!!!

Upon arrival at Punta Cana Kyle picked us up at the airport and we arrived at the hotel great. We went to Isla saona, Coco bongo and the buggies. The excursions were great and the kyle treatment was spectacular, pending their customers feeling well at all times. I will definitely return and re-engage the services of Vacationonrd! 😊👏🏻

It was an excellent experience. Excellent deal with the guide and have let us enjoy the buggies doing a little crazy.

We loved the excursion a lot more adrenaline seeing super cool things and the price is the best, you can hire the photos as well if you want

The tour was all wonderful, recommended 100%. Thank you for all Kyle! We hope to return soon.

A unique experience, Service and Kindness of Excellence. Definitely for the future we will hire your Service again. The pictures were perfect. Thanks Kyle for everything, we were delighted. 🥰
