Fun time - I would definitely recommend this ATV tour. We didn’t have good weather so we couldn’t see the midnight sun. It was cloudy and drizzling rain. We thought they would cancel the tour, but glad they didn’t. The operator was really nice and they provided warm overalls to wear. I was not cold at all; and I’m from Florida so I was afraid of being too cold. We drove the ATV’s for 2 hours across streets and back roads up and down a mountain. I was with my husband and 2 teenage daughters. We all had a great time!

Midnight sun ATV - 100% worth booking! The guide was super nice, funny and attentive to everyone riding. He constantly looked back to make sure everyone was OK, and stopped a few times to let those that fell behind catch up, which was totally OK with everyone else, since they had great picture moments. I highly recommend this to anyone!

Great experience for family of 5 with 3 teenage daughters - What a great and adventure filled family experience! Everything was very well done from the start. Safari Quads figured out a way to accommodate our family of 5 with only a few days notice. They also called to confirm and made sure we knew where to meet the group a day before. Once we arrived everyone helped us with our safety and warm weather, rain gear. Thank goodness for all this gear because it rained most of our trip, but we stayed dry. Sir Kaktuz was a fun and engaging guide. We traveled up and down mountains, through water, and over moon like rocks. All 5 of us thoroughly enjoyed this adventure! My husband and 11 year old daughter rode on one ATV together. I rode on an ATV with my 13 year old daughter and then our oldest daughter drove her own ATV. So exciting for all of us!

Rain Soaked & Smiling 🌧️🏍️☺️ - This was such a great experience! I was a bit worried when it had rained all day that it was going to be cancelled or miserable, but you're equipped with the proper gear for this experience when you arrive, that made it incredibly fun and the water made it even better! Highly recommend making the time for this experience, it's so much fun to see the different paths and landscapes from up close, especially given this was middle of the summer, the purple lupine flowers were EVERY-where and it was a stunning experience! ATVs were easy to operate, and if I wasn't comfortable operating my own solo, I had the option to go with the guide, which i didn't choose to do, it was too much fun driving on my own! :)

ATV Adventure! - Ruben and Kaktuz were AWESOME! From the moment Kaktuz picked us up, we knew it was going to be a great experience. They both are very knowledgeable and helped make the experience. Took ATVs through rolling terrain, a couple of creeks, and capped it off with some picturesque lookout points. Just do it. You won't regret it.
