Buggy tours in Puerto Plata are guided convoys on dirt roads through the villages and sugar cane behind the coast, with a river crossing, a drink at a village shop and a mud bath by the end, and the cruise port buggy tours are the most reviewed rides here. We picked 17 ATV and buggy tours by hand, read every listing and kept only operators rated 4.5★ or higher. The cheapest is an ATV ride from €42 per person; the most expensive are the day passes that stack ATVs with ziplines and horses.
Buggies are priced per machine for two on most listings and ATVs per rider, so compare by what your pair pays; drivers need a licence and the dust means goggles and a bandana are supplied. The cruise versions meet at Amber Cove or Taino Bay and return in time for all-aboard, the hotel versions pick up along the Playa Dorada and Sosúa strip. Beach stops are short swims at Coconut Cove or Maimón. The best reviewed Puerto Plata buggy tours come first below.
