Fun for the whole family! - Mono and Keili were top notch. We had a blast!
This is a must do. We never drove an ATV and it was a piece of cake. Cool stops as well

Great adventure for the family! - I gifted my daughter's family this tour for Christmas. They took their two boys (7 and 5 years old) with them and had an absolute blast. It was the best thing they did on the island, according to my son-in-law. Thanks for making their day the best.

Memorable ATV Experience - I didn’t know what to expect because it will be the first time for me and my 2 young children. Edward and Kalea were welcoming, friendly, professional, and patient. They explained the activity in detail and helped in anything needed. There 4 stops, each was interesting, educational, and scenic.
I can’t say enough how much fun we had. It’s a must try adventure!

Fantastic Fun. - We did this as a group of 8 with 3 ATVs from ages 73 to 10. There were probably 10 ATVs in the group. Simple to drive what takes some adjustment is not trying to avoid all the ruts and potholes but to just let the car loose. Great fun. Remember to use the googles and scarf mask for the dust. We had a great time with the team. Tip when you get back to your lodging get the dirt off without using flannels otherwise you can’t get them clean

Not enough riding - Was disappointed in the number of stops and length of time out of the vehicle. I paid to ride, not stop and talk.
