We had an amazing experience from start to finish. The private tour was fun, educational, and most of all, safely run. I had never driven an ATV before and the guide made me feel very taken care of and comforted. It was one of my favorite vacation activities ever! Highly recommend. Thank you!

The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and always looking out for us. The food and drink (at your cost) was good. Wear padded bike shorts, as it’s a bumpy ride! We had a great time!

Sylvia is an excellent tour guide. Highly recommend! Knowledgeable, entertaining and a great value. Super fun too.

It's well worth the trip and fun!.. There were a total of 14 of us and we all hot along.. Thank you!
