advertised as white knuckle tour but it was rather tame & very slow , think i got an inexperienced tour guide who brought his girlfriend with him.the only time it was white knuckle was a downhill section where the brakes on my buggy were inadequate & i nearly ran into the back of him. also they offer pick up & drop off but don't tell you that it's an extra 40 us dollars on top of the expensive fee couldn't recommend as it was poor for the money.
If you've ever been on an ATV/UTV tour in the Caribbean, this is no different from what you will see / do (maybe a nicer beach at the end of this one ... to be fair). The one complaint was that we had some mechanical issues - we had one person have not one but TWO vehicles conk out on him for various reasons. You definitely make this tour what you want - you can get SUPER dirty and fly through puddles and enjoy the ride, or you can take a leisurely drive through the countryside. No matter, you end up at a delightful little beach at the end. Extra points for the birthday gift they provided the birthday boy of the group.
This was by far the worst excursion I've ever taken of all the countries we've traveled to. The complete lack of professional is apparent upon arrival, as there is no introduction to the staff, no safety/operations orientation, no itinerary; just get in and follow me. My buggy's steering calibration was so off-center that I couldn't make a sharp left turn, and my seatbelt broke midway through the "tour." Hard to sightsee when you're blinded, so, though the company doesn't care enough about its guests to offer protective eyewear, I strongly recommend that you wear sunglasses/goggles if you decide to throw your money away with this company. I spent the first 10 minutes blind before my wife gave me her sunglasses and had to cover her eyes with her hat the rest of the way. The drive was through endless fields of cattle and manure with zero communication from the "guide" as to where/what/why. We also drove through busy city roads in these poorly maintained buggies. We got to a clearance
We recently did a tour of the island and it was probably the worst excursion I've ever taken. The atv/utv used we're in terrible condition. They barely ran, had bald tires, missing seat belts, and broke down on the tour. Our tour started at what appeared as someone's backyard. The only rule they gave was to drive in the middle yet when we tried to go fast or leave some space to have fun off road the tour guide yelled at us and flipped out. Very unprofessional. It was a super slow tour, they gave no info about what we saw or where we were going. They drove us very slow through cow pastures and poop. We had multiple machines that had to be pushed up a hill, our friends broke down and met us later and didn't tell anyone what was going on. We ended up at a beach to swim and the guide didn't say a word to us on where we were, anything about the beach, no water provided at all. Then a very slow ride back at the end on streets with poor tires. We got back and they just got us into the van bac
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!! The tour was basically a back road through cow/goat poop that splashed on you. You saw NO sites on the island. The tour guide was on a UTV and went slow. At one point we drove behind a van that went 15 mph. When we asked why we were going slow he said because he didn't want to mess up the equipment. The ATVs were OLD and our one friend ATV broke half way in the tour (the wheel fell off). Three people in the group had to get pushed up the hill. Once we got to the beach we weren't even offered a bottle of water. I've been on ATV tours on many trips and this is by far the worst one I have ever been on and expensive. If you are looking for a fun activity book through your hotel on a boat tour or the safari/sting ray city tour. My friends went on those and loved it.
