Great excursion - The knowledge of the tour guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable of the area and what happens back in the day with pirates and the gold!! The view on top of the Cove is phenomenal.

Breath taking views - Adulson, A United States Marine, with Tropical Tours, was the best. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the islands.
We had a great time and would do it again.
The views are amazing and jaw dropping.
I do wish I had brought some kind of googles or mask, as the dust was real! Also, wish that we had started closer to the Blue Hills. But, I would certainly do this again and I have already recommended to others here on the island.
Now for the Da Conch Shack. They did not have their act together and we were there for a long time (maybe 2 hours). Our food was lost in space somewhere. We kept asking as other tables who walked in later had already gotten their food. The waitress blamed it on the chicken. We finally got the chicken sandwiches and they were fried. No where on the menu said it was fried. We can’t do fried. They offered us hamburger but still charged us for the chicken. Adulson’s fried conch was no where to be seen and we had to wait on his.
But I will say, what we did finally eat was very delicious.
In all honesty, it was Wednesday and they were preparing for the hundreds of people that would be coming for the music that night. We did go back after getting cleaned up to see what all the fuss was about. It was literally busting at the seams! People everywhere having a good time with the music and eating on the beach.

Turks the right way! - Ronald was a great guide! We really enjoyed the local drive and the tourist attractions as well! Da conch shack was awesome same with Pirates Cove! Machines are loud but that’s part of the experience in a good way!

Great - This was an amazing tour, Ronald guided us on our ATVs through the most beautiful scenery I've ever seen. This was a true highlight, thanks again.

Worth your time - It was a very fun little trip, we would of liked vehicles that went faster or possibly not being on the highway. But it was really fun. We enjoyed it

Rememberable experience - The beautiful waters that we may not have seen if we didn’t leave the resort. The cave we were able to explore was an added bonus.

Just OK - As previously reviewed, half the time is spent on the main road - a little disconcerting as the atv's probably aren't street legal. Our guide didn't share much info about the history of the area or about the island in general. No water was provided. And it was expensive.
On the plus side, it was nice to see a different side of the island. And my husband and son both enjoyed driving the atv off road.

3 wasted vacation hours - As others have said, much of this excursion was on the Leeward highway. We were the only guests, and Ronald communicated with us via walkie-talkie. His accent, coupled with the noise of the machine and the poor reception of the walkies made it nearly impossible to understand him. As such, there was little information about what we were seeing as we drove. The off-road part was a little technical, according to my ATV-owning boyfriend, but was pretty tame.
We had concerns about the machine we were given to use. It was poor quality and not well-maintained. The driver’s door kept flying open, the handling was sloppy, it was slow to engage gears, and on the return trip had issues stalling at slow speeds or if stopped. We did not feel safe on the highway at all.
Ronald our guide was very quiet and uncommunicative, which was awkward since he joined us for lunch at Da Conch Shack. He sat there with the two of us, saying little, not really responding to our questions about himself, and excused himself just before the bill came, leaving us to pay for his rum punch.
All in all, it was a disappointing experience.

Hassle! Crooks! Don’t do it - It is advertised as 3 hours long but it isn’t because they short you on the activities. It is advertised that your are going to be driving yourself but when you get there and if your female they will take it upon themselves to drive for you not even giving you the option. Hated this experience, will never use this company or Viator again. Not worth the money or hassle. Don’t do it.
