Herburlness Posted October 10, 2011 #1 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My boyfriend and I just booked this tour and Im wondering if anyone has done this tour before. We could not figure what to do while in this port. We read about the dune buggies and thought it sounded fun and a good way to see alot of the island. Would love to hear any experiences you have had! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dkmtw Posted October 27, 2011 #3 Share Posted October 27, 2011 I was looking into this with our teenage sons as well--we'll be there between xmas/new years. I was going to book through http://www.sts-honduras.com. I'll look into Island Marketing as well. Would be nice to hear from someone about this experience!

dkmtw Posted May 4, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 4, 2012 We had SUCH a blast through STS-Honduras dune buggies! We have teenage boys 15 and 18 and they had a great time driving. You don't get to see a lot of the island, but we had some fantastic views on the way to the mud pit, where we did donuts in the mud to our hearts content! We were COVERED from head to toe in mud, so be prepared (you might even bring shoes you can toss, because we couldn't get ours clean and dry again :) After the mud pit, they take you to a private beach to clean up in the crystal blue water. They had some water, iced tea, chips and salsa for us. The dune buggies do take quite a beating, so a couple of them had problems, but Hector always managed to find a solution to get us moving again. I felt very safe. He led the pack in a buggy, then had some guys bring up the rear in a truck. There were just 4 buggies (8 people) on our trip, so it was nice not to have to wait for a big group. It truly was the best excursion we did. (I did a review and there are pics on TripAdvisor as well). Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amcjeep4life Posted May 4, 2012 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I just booked thru Island marketing for our stop there in October. I'd love to hear from anyone who gets there before me. We quad frequently here at home, and the problem I always find is that there is inevitably people on the quad tours who don;t know how to ride, and slow the whole thing down. There are 4 of us doing this tour, all riding solo, so we should be able to kick some serious booty! Yes, it's a little more expensive, but I want to have fast fun, and drive the whole time!

China1234 Posted May 4, 2012 #7 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I was also looking to book this through Island Marketing for our cruise in March. Any info would be great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corkyanige Posted May 8, 2012 #8 Share Posted May 8, 2012 I'm debating between this or the fun & sun tour in Roatan. If we don't do the buggies in Roatan then we will do the wave runners in Grand Cayman. But I'm having such a hard time deciding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottElkaBowl Posted March 26, 2017 #9 Share Posted March 26, 2017 I know this post is old but hopefully one of you booked thru Island Marketing and are still on cruise critic and can speak to the time that you had on the excursion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaycareEm Posted March 27, 2017 #10 Share Posted March 27, 2017 We did book thru Island Marketing. We had a good time, it was pretty dry when we were there(first part of June) so it wasn't muddy. They took us to a nice private beach, at the time the sand fleas were bad there. We didn't notice them while we were there but had red polka dots every where when we got back to the ship. They didn't hurt or anything and faded pretty fast but maybe just a nuisance. This was in 2009 so maybe they have gotten better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmet0225 Posted March 27, 2017 #12 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Personally speaking, I will never book an excursion through Island Marketing. A few years ago, a member of our cruise party booked some sort of snuba excursion through them in Cozumel. When the people finally showed up at the appointed place (late), they were given snuba gear and told they could snuba off the shore. Edited March 27, 2017 by dmet0225 Edited to change from snorkeling to snuba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
