Sooooo much fun! You’ll get wet and dirty but if you’re dressed for it, you won’t care!!! VERY authentic! Only us and another couple on our tour. The caves were super cool. The Flintstones part is so cutely done and fun/interactive. The photographer who comes with you is detailed and takes tonnnnsss of pics. We aren’t the type of couple who lives behind our phone or takes tons of pics, so that was good for us since we barely took any the whole trip!! The local home they stop at is really great. Super interesting to see how the Dominican people who live in the countryside experience life. They showed us the gardens where they grow everything, made ya coffee, showed the home and kitchen, we met Francesca (in my photo) who is the lady of the town and so lovely. The tour guides Rolan and photographer Alex were WONDERFUL. We purchased the photos and had a presidente🍻 and some mamajuana 🥃 after the adventure. We used their outdoor shower to rinse off as well. Loved the other couple and will stay in touch. Again, a solid 10/10.

This excursion was a blast! Dusty and Muddy fun for all. The tour guides and the owner were all very helpful and knowledgeable. We recommend this to all! Great 1/2 day tour. The complex where the buggy ride begins is way back on some bumpy road.. don't be scared when you drive back there ;)
you can purchase a USB drive with all the photos and videos the photographer takes. bring a bandanna, or you can purchase them for $5.
We wore flip flops but might recommend something more secure for the cave tour part of the adventure. We also brought our GoPro to capture the mud puddles at full speed!!!

Reviewed my options on trip Advisor and decided on Flintstones Buggy. So glad I did. The guys there were very nice and did a great job. Got muddy and wet, but that's what we went for....lol Got to go fast and checked out how the locals live along with a really cool cave tour. This was well worth the $60.00 we paid per person. I would suggest if your going to do this,bring a pair of the small swimming glasses, and a bandana. Sun glasses will work but there is a lot of dust and you will enjoy this much better with swim goggles or just regular goggles then with just sun glasses. Also make sure to have on items you have no problem getting dirty and maybe a change of clothes, but you don't have to get dirty if you don't want, but it's way more fun. They will send you an email confirming and will pick you up at your hotel. GREAT FUN. No photos, as my phone died 1 day after getting to the DR.

Highly recommend! Excellent price, accommodations, information, scenery, equipment and hotel transport. Was picked up from hotel (RIU Bambu) and shuttled 10/15 minutes via open air truck to the dune buggy base, passing through a small section of town and a couple dirt roads. Once you arrive you are greeted by your tour guide. This time happened to be my new main man Martin, a multilingual DR-loving Austrian transplant and all-round nice guy. Martin instructed my wife and I about the safety regulations and what the tour entails. After you get fitted for a helmet and suit up. By suit up I mean bring sunglasses and a bandana or something to keep dust out of your mouth. If no bandana, one can purchase there for $5 USD. Also, goggles available to use at no exra cost if your sunglasses aren't tight to your face. And we're off... Martin and a mechanic ride in 1st buggy. You and up to 4 others ride in your own buggy following them. In total the trip is 20 km. You drive for 4ish km and reach a non-commercial typical rural storefront/home run by the sweetheart Francesca. Martin showed us around the small store, the house attached, the garden behind and the rest of the property. All the while Francesca brews you up a cup of DR coffee. I hate coffee but I loved this! Tasted of cinnamon and spices. We sat and had a cup of this liquid gold and talked and asked questions. Very serene. About 15 mins or so spent there. After that you get back in the buggy and head on for another 6ish km to the entrance to their own private cave. At the entrance to the cave are bathrooms with running water powered by solar panels. This is where we were given a cold bottle of water while Martin told us a story of the local lore. After the tale you walk down into the cave looking at the natural beauty of the stelactites and stelagmites while Martin pointed out formations that resemble the characters from the story. As you circle through the cave near the end they have recreated Fred & Wilma Flintstone's house, car, etc. It's semi-corny but great for photo ops and kids would love it. I'm 33 years old and loved it. After the cave you get back into the buggy and drive 10km straight back to the buggy base, passing through the rolling country side. All the while on your adventure your guide will take photos of you driving, at the storefront, in the cave, at the Flintstone house, etc. When you get back the photos of you are compiled onto a flashdrive along with professional photographs and local music. This compellation can be purchased for $30 USD. Flashdrives are checked to make sure the upload completed correctly for piece of mind. At buggy base you are offered the use of a shower to hose off any mud or dust if desired. Also t-shirts, soda, snacks, beer, photo flashdrives, cigarettes, bandanas, etc. are available to purchase with a no pressure to buy atmosphere. Also for sale are Mamajuana shots. A must try while in the DR. A potent root, honey and wine based liquor... must have... $2 a shot. All in all, for the money, please do this buggy tour. Very hands on and informative. Could not be happier with the tour, especially if you are budget minded... even if you're not. We chose this because it's authentic. Nowhere on this adventure are you swarmed by pushy vendors trying to sell you unwanted souvenirs and trinkets like so many places in the DR. Bring eyewear, bandana, sunscreen and some cash for your guide and bus driver... they deserve it. It's a very touristy idea done in a non-touristy, friendly but professional manner. We'll be back if ever in Punta Cana. A++

We did a girls adventure on Feb 9, 2019 in the morning. We had a great time with the staff, they entertained us and took lots of pictures. I paid cash for the pictures of the day, they said they would email them to us. I have never received them. While at our resort I called them numerous times and had our Sunwing rep call numerous times. They said they would send the pictures. It is now March 7th and I'm still waiting. I have contacted them through their website twice now and have not received a response. It's too bad that a great adventure was soured by dishonest staff.

We can't be grateful enough to the amazing owner Victor of Flintstones Buggy Adventure! We called the morning and found the pickup van had already left for the morning tour and the afternoon tour was 100% booked being Christmas holiday week.

Victor the owner confirmed with us on phone that he personally will pick us up in his private SUV and gave us vehicle description. And there he was 10 minutes later at our hotel Occidental Caribe! The tour was beyond amazing, ride through the jungles and back country Bavaro and plantations. A stop over by a typical Dominican house where we tasted local coffee and finally the amazing Caves with funny Flintstones theme! It was overall a great experience that can be enjoyed by adults and kids alike. You need shades/goggles and bandana to cover the face due to open buggy. The tour operators, guides and the photo boy were really jolly, skilled and friendly. No pressure selling anything or any up-selling like few other tours. A true homegrown local business with a great owner in charge! We will go again and recommend to friends for the great hospitality offered by Victor and his team.

This was a fun tour. We were picked up on time. If it had been raining, it would have been muddy. If not (in our case), it was dusty. Rode about 10 minutes to a little village/ local farm house. There, we sampled coffee and walked around a typical Dominican family house. Then, we rode about 10 minutes more to a pretty cave. The buggies were fun but several people's broke down. Was a cheap tour and would go again.

Driving the dune buggy was a lot of fun, and the trail was quite bumpy and dusty though I didn't mind. Along the way, we passed by many homes where mostly field workers live, and drove past some donkeys and cows. We stopped at a local home along the trail where we met the friendly owners and had a tour of the home, and garden. There's a small store that's ran out of the home which sells mostly food items that are available for purchase. We toured a cave which had two parts to it, one which was Flintstones themed. Our tour guide Martin was easy going and had a good sense of humor.
