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

My friend and I bought this trip in Cabarete, DR for $35. We were excited to see what it has in store for us. We were picked up from the hotel early in the morning. We drove to two other resorts and stopped by to get beverages for everyone on the truck. There were about 10 - 12 people. We... more

They say.... explore the real dominican in a 8x8 and go places where no one else can. 90% of the excursion we were using paths that scooters and cars travel along. it was ridiculous. i thought that we were going to drive up rivers and go through "jungles". We ended up crossing a 10 foot wide river.... lame I think... more

We did the Monster Truck tour the day before we came home from Puerto Plata. The tour was just okay....not good and not terrible. Definitely not worth the almost $300 we paid for three of us. more

My husband and I did this Mega Truck safari via our Thomas Cook rep at ICD on 6th May. Pick up from hotel was around 0820 - 0830 and we boarded the truck before heading next door to the GO Marien for the final pick up. Then followed a bracing drive thorugh POP and out past RIU hotels at bahia... more

This is a good way to spend a full day away from your hotel. We got picked up at our hotel around 8:15...depends on your location though, and we got back around 5pm. The price was $90 USD per person. I booked right through the monster truck website and it was so easy. Their representative met us at the hotel... more

We picked Monster truck becuase we read a lot of great reviews and we saw this Thomson's ad about it. It looked like a fun day out and gave as an opportunity to leave the resort. It wasn't what we expected...we expected a lot more given what we paid ($99 each) and all the good reviews we read. Although it... more

Since doing the Monster Truck Safari my husband has not stopped gushing about how much fun he had in the Dominican Republic! I booked directly off their website and it cost $90/person--well worth the money. We were picked up at our hotel and driven down the street to the Monster Trucks--which are huge trucks. It was a nice clear day... more

The Monster Truck costs us $95 each through Thomson. We were picked up from our hotel and dropped off at the Monster Truck centre. Note that we were in the Iberostar Costa Dorada so it was only a 5 minute trip for us, some people had a LONG drive (considering we headed back from the Monster Truck centre towards Sousua... more

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
