Our first port was Taino Bay at Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. We opted for an adventurous excursion and found a local company to take us on a Dune Buggy tour.
After a little time at the port area we loaded into our open air van for the trip to the other side of the city for the tour.
Thankfully we did some research prior to arriving and were well equipped with gaiters, throw away clothes, dirty shoes and trash bags to hold out stuff because this was an exhilarating, dirty few hours of fun.
We drove through mud, creeks, cow pastures and more... There were a few stops to shop at a local market and clean off at the beach. It was such a blast and definitely the highlight of the trip for many of us!
We were soaked and dirty at the end but we asked the tour operator to help us find a local restaurant for a late lunch before heading back to the boat. They took us to a local beach where we were able to get hair braids, fish tacos and drinks in a coconut - perfect!

| P accidently got a few hair braids which were quickly removed. |
Sadly we eventually had to head back to the boat but we received lots of waves and cheering on the way from one of the friendliest cultures we have encountered. It was a great day and we would definitely do it again!
