Roberto was a fantastic tour guide from beginning to end. He made sure we was safe and he stayed with us on the shopping tour
We had the opportunity to see the beautiful Macao beach, but the entire 20 minute experience was filled with peddlers selling their goods. A couple of dune buggies broke down, but they worked to get them running quickly. We didn't get a talk about how to drive them or that the brakes were sketchy. It should have been a warning sign to us that they were hotwired to start them. The tour guide seemed less than thrilled to be leading our group for this excursion. We made a very brief stop at the cacao and coffee farm, but this was overshadowed by more peddling, then our final stop was working our way through peddlers at the cenote. The scenery was beautiful in the cenote and at the beach. I would read reviews before you go with this company, seemed adventure boogies had better equipment.
The good: the staff was good; when there were issues with the boogies they were prompt to fix it or provide you with another one. They provide a go pro that has very good video quality. The video/photo is available for purchase. It was $100 for both. Probably could talk that price down. The ride was Lots of fun and the photographers along the way were great. The crew didn’t leave anyone behind and they made sure everyone was accounted for. The not so good: the dune boogies are very old so about 5 people had to stop because they either had a dead battery or faulty equipment. My boogie stop 3 times and I had to stop and change vehicles but like I said they are very prompt with getting you up and running again. The helmets aren’t adjustable so it’s not really fit for children with small heads. I would suggest your own helmet with face shield. During the route you stop at a few places. The locals will bombard you as soon as you stop out the boogies. That is very annoying to be hassled to
Ottimo posto macchine molto confortevole personale preparati molto pulito e fantastico ci tornerò ogni volta che sarò in zona
One buggy broke down a few times so the whole entourage had to wait for a long time for it to be fixed. The buggies are not in good condition at all. Then it was a super brief stop at the Macao beach for like 10 minutes max. On top of that, we did not have any "elaboration process" of anything when we arrived at the local shop . When we arrived, the other group was there sitting and listening to the presentation while we were waiting. No instruction was given by the "tour guide". When the other group finished, they did not even sit us down or show us anything. We only took a sample of a tiny cup of coffee and that was the end of it. Honestly, the buggy experience alone was fun and fine, but the other activities that were advertised were literally non existent.
