Buggy tour prices
Buggies are priced per vehicle, not per person, so a pair or a family splits the cost.
| Tour | Price | Group | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buggy Tour | $120 per vehicle · up to 2 people | 1–2 People | 2–2.5 Hours |
| Family Buggy Tour | $150 per vehicle · up to 4 people | Up to 4 People | 2–2.5 Hours |
Larger groups simply take more buggies: 3 or 4 people need two small buggies or one family buggy. Round-trip transport is included.

What the ride is like
Easy to drive
Our buggies are automatic, so there is no clutch or gear shifting. Your guide gives a full safety briefing before you start.
Jungle trails and villages
Dirt roads, countryside and local communities in the hills behind the coast.
Mud and river crossings
Expect splashes. The mud and the river crossings are the best part of the ride.
Beach stop at Playa Teco
Swim in the Caribbean, rinse off, and enjoy food and drinks on the beach.
Which buggy should I choose?
The Buggy Tour is for one or two riders in an open-frame buggy. The Family Buggy Tour is an XL buggy for up to four people, with a full roll cage and harness seats. If you have kids under the driving age, the family buggy keeps everyone together in one vehicle.
Mud, water and what to wear
You will get muddy and wet, and that is part of the fun. Wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you do not mind getting dirty, and bring sunscreen, sunglasses and a change of clothes for after the beach stop. At our on-site shop you can rent or buy goggles ($5) and face cloth masks against mud and dust.
You can bring a GoPro or phone, but keep it secured. Our team also takes photos and videos along the route, available to buy if you want them.
