The engine kicks to life and the trail answers—mud sprays like laughter, palms lean in to watch, and a river dares you to cross. On this Puerto Plata ATV tour you’ll trade the postcard beaches for dirt roads that thread sugarcane fields, river fords, and scrubbed coastal bluffs. Drivers guide their boogie boards through tight turns, splash through shallow crossings and pull up at small, sheltered beaches that feel discovered rather than marketed.
