The main point about working with Watapana is this: if you're a whiner and a complainer, or if you don't have a spirit of fun, or if you can't tolerate everything working perfectly...don't book with Watapana. We came on the Holland America cruise ship Rotterdam in December 2008. We got off the boat, and my brother negotiated with an agent... more

My wife and I just took the ATV tour with Watapana Tours and it was great! I was a little nervous after reading other reviews on this and other sites. However our ATV tour was nothing but a positive experience. They picked us up at our hotel on time in a comfortable bus. When we got our ATV's (we were... more

I paid for a Jeep Tour for 5 and when we arrived there was another couple, so only 1 tour guide to drive 1 jeep and 1 person from our group of 5 had to drive a jeep. We were caught off guard about having to drive ourselves. If we wanted to drive ourselves we could have rented a jeep... more

DO NOT schedule a tour with Watapana!! We booked an ATV tour while vacationing in Aruba. We made it clear when booking that we needed a double ATV for both of us to ride together. While Sebastian the obnoxious tour guide went over the rules of the tour we were asked to get onto our vehicles. Long story short they... more

Our family (8 members) along with approximately 15 other people were scheduled for the Watapana ATV extravaganza in July of 2008. The “tour” which was to be guided (2 guides) for 3 hours and was to include several destinations such as the natural bridge, natural pool and chapel etc. The tour did begin with the two guides. Approximately 15-20 minutes... more

There were four in our group and we took the Watapana Dune Buggy tour. Two adults and two kids under 12. We were skeptical about booking with them based on the reviews of the mostly ATV tours they provide as well. The bus picked us up about 30 minutes after their scheduled time, which is a little disappointing, but it... more

We got put in the tour with the Dune Buggy adventure and didn't go to 3 of the sites we were told we would be going. Problem was we were told at the last stop... more

Our 4 hour tour turned into a 7 hour waste of time. The tour company was an hour late picking us up and then did a pick up at every hotel on the island. Once the bus was full we were dumped at the office and had to wait another hour for the "tour bus". The driver spoke very little... more

This is a late review, our awful experience with them was in 2004. ..they've been stealing people's money since then. We had 3 people in our party, 3 ATVs. Upon arrival, we had to wait in a hot waiting area for over an hour. Our first clue should have been the signs that indicate they absolutely do not refund any... more

My son and I rented two atv's on December 18, 2007. The equipment was new and no problems there. However, on the return of the equipment, a small ding was discovered on the front left rim of my ATV. I was willing to pay for the damage to the rim. Instead I was told I owed them $267.80 for damages... more
