Amazing experience! Pre warning that you do have to drive on the public streets. My partner had never been on a quad bike before and found it a little scary at first but managed and it was worth it! Our guide was amazing, reassuring and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend

My favorite activity I did while I was on the island. Our guide was amazing and super funny. The combination of on-road and off-roading made the experience unique and was able to get to view points a regular car wouldn’t be able to get to! Plus, who doesn’t love driving a quad through the narrow, hydrangea lined streets?!
