Dune Buggies and Cenote Cave Half Day Adventure

So overall good day and fun. The cave you go in on the beginning of the trip is beautiful and you can swim there, definitely worth it. Then there is tiny village where they talk about coffee and cocoa and some sampling of the products, we have done it on different tour so wasn't much invested this time, then there is local people dressed up and showing tribal dance which was kind of cool to see. Then the buggy ride, if you get the low fully open one you will get absolutely covered so be prepared to get filthy lol its good fun, but glasses doesn't cut it and you'll end up not being able to see, so I suggest bring or buy goggles,and clothes you will no longer wear for the rest of the trip... Its not a long ride on the buggies and you'll end up on Macao beach where you can wash yourself off, the beach looks dodgy with lot of people trying to sell you stuff so just mind your business and stick with the group. Also on the road while driving you'll see some real DR and the poor lifestyle, kids and women with babies begging for money, running after the buggies, they are harmless but it's hard to watch, breaks your heart, on the other hand it makes you realize how lucky we are.... I think it was good fun, if you're ready to get dirty do it!

So, we did this adventure as a family. I would like to say it was fun. I would however, like to leave a few tips on here.... 1. If you are in the 2 seat buggie, buy the goggles, and please prepare to be covered with red clay from your head to your feet! Seriously! There is nothing on you that will not be covered with muddy water, 2. The vehicles that hold more people, are lots of fun, and you dont get filthy! 3. The cave is the best! You only get a very short time there. I wish there was an option to bypass the fake, tribal dance, and chat about local coffee. No offence, it just was not something we were interested in at all. 4. Something really hard, that I think you should prepare yourself for is, there are children of all ages and sizes, that chase your buggie as you are driving. Women, holding babies were running after us, begging for money. Its heartbreaking. Its anywhere you drive on this excursion. It was an learning experience for sure for my children about other peoples lives. 5. EVERYTHING is expensive if you use a debit card. 16% of your total bill is what you are charged:-) 6. The beach they take you to at the end, is not pretty, and there are people all over the beach trying to sell you stuff. Stick to the cave and actually driving the buggies. There was a lot of stopping and some of the carts did not work so well.
