We, as a family, were all looking forward to the monster truck "Safari" but could not be more disappointed. I'm upset I have to rate this 1 star! The instant we got on the truck we were fleeced left, right and center. Before we'd even set off we were guilt tripped into buying 3 hats at £12 each! Which the... More

So we had a traveller with us who didnt feel they could do the entire day, so we were able to book a half day adventurfe for $75 per person. Lots to see, this is something you MUST do. There is also another company called Bavaro Runners which apparently offers a similar tour. Lots of culture shock for those who... More

On march 9th 2011 myself and 9 others went on the Mega Trucks day trip out of Puerto Plata at the Riu Bachata Resort. We paid $81 each for a full day trip. We all were very pleased with the service and safety. The places we visited were all what we hope they would be and more! You really get... More

Paying $ 70 per person, I had a high expectation on this excursion and was quite disappointed. We first met at the Monster Truck office, waited half an hour before we could get on the truck. Two trucks went together. It took almost an hour to get to the first destination – a “garden” where the guide showed us some... More

Think we paid about 90 Dollars and we thought it was money well spent. we had a fantastic day, our guide, Eddie, driver Speedy Gonzalez and the paparazzi Roberto made it a trip to remember. We started off travelling into the... More

It started off well with a nice horse ride through the countryside. From there we visited a local school. I must say i felt sorry for the teachers as it caused chaos to their lessons. So with at least 4 tours turning up per day and the children only in school for 4 hours there wasn't much education taking place.... More

We went with Monster Truck out of Punta Cana for our excursion this year... and was very dissapointed. We were not alone in our opinion either. We traveled to DR last year and had SOO much fun with Bavaro Runners that we wanted to experience the countryside again.. and wanted a little variety so used Monster Truck this time. There... More
