From $100Buggy & ATV Tours in Dominican Republic
Showing 4 activities · Sorted by traveler rating
Off-road buggy and ATV tours are one of the most popular ways to see the rural Dominican Republic, bouncing along dirt tracks through sugarcane fields and small villages to a cenote, a beach, or a local ranch. Most run from the Punta Cana and Bavaro area and end with a swim to wash off the dust.
These rides are dusty, muddy fun rather than scenic cruising, so wear clothes and shoes you do not mind ruining and bring a bandana or sunglasses to keep grit out of your eyes. Operators give a short driving briefing and provide helmets. Choose a double buggy if you want to share the driving or travel with kids old enough to ride along.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you need a license to drive a buggy or ATV?
Usually not for the tour vehicles, but you must follow the guide's route and rules. Some operators set a minimum age to drive, with younger riders going as passengers.
Will I get muddy on a buggy tour?
Yes, that is part of it. Expect dust and mud, especially after rain. Wear old clothes and closed shoes, and bring a swimsuit for the cenote or beach stop at the end.
