The monster truck safari is without doubt one of the best vacation excurisons you can get in Puerto Plata (departures from Playa Dorada, Cabarette & Sosua too). You get to ride for a whole day, aboard a huge 8-axle zebra-painted former millitary truck. The truck accomodates about 25 passengers and you have a guide, a driver and an on-boarad bar-tender!... more

Like the other reviewers on this site, we had a truly fantastic experience of the actual safari itself. The transport to the Trucks site was by lovely air conditioned coach and the guide stopped off at a little shopping plaza on the way for 10 minutes. His speciality was telling us that this would be a 'special day'... Once there,... more

This is a great experience, definitely worth getting away from the resort for a day. If you plan to go, be aware that you will see real people, some of whom are relatively well off, but others live in very poor conditions. Many of our fellow guests were quite distressed by the poverty. If you want to help, have a... more

This was an awsome full day excursion! Our guide Arnie was very friendly and chalk full of information about the history and culture of the Dominican and it's people. The cold beverages (rum, beer, pop and water) were a plenty all day and the lunch was fabulous!! (Almost better than the resort food!) It was a real eye opener to... more

Hi there, I have been on this trip several times and loved it each and every time. Meeting the people on this trip really opened my eyes to the state that other people live in that is so different from so many in the US and Canada. I since have returned from 3 years volunteering with the Peace Corps which... more

This monster truck tour was awsome, Our guide for the trip was a nice guy who we called Arnie. Although it poured with rain he made every part of the day a pleasure. The food was great and the beer was flowing freely (and never ran out). Brilliant day for anyone thinking of doing it. Don't forget to take some... more

We did this fantastic trip on a Friday that was fairly sunny and a bit breezy. Marcelo was our tour guide and he was a great fountain of information. Unfortunately due to all of the rain we weren't able to do the river crossing, but the experience did not disappoint. There was enough rum and cerveza's passed around to keep... more

We took this excursion on recommendation from other reviewers. It was well worth it and more. It was AWESOME!! It was a long drive out of the city but it was awesome, fun, humbling, eye opening and educational at the same time. We had a great guide and a great weather so that helped. The tour stops at a school,... more
