It begins by riding along the west end coast line before heading up into the hills. We make a stop at an overlook that gives you fantastic views of the north shore. As we continue, we make our way to the top of Mt. Stewart where you get amazing vistas of the surrounding area. We visit plantation ruins from the early 1800's where you get time to explore and take photographs. From there we descend through the Sub-Tropical Rain Forest before ending the tour at a Rainbow Beach. « less

There is nothing I can add to all of the great reviews. Professional, friendly, it was quite simply one of the best tours I have ever been on. Thank you Arlen, we had a fantastic time and we will join you again when we return to St. Croix. Do this tour, everyone we passed while on our ATV's looked jealous.... More

Overall had a great time on our tour with Gecko. The ATV's are very easy to use as I have never operated one before. About 1/3 of the trip is on paved roads and 2/3rds are off-roading. We stopped a few times along the route for pictures a brief history lesson on the island. The staff was very friendly. I... More

We had an excellent time on this tour. The guide was informative and energetic. He took us on all kinds of terrain and provided plenty of stops for beautiful photo ops. We had never been on an ATV before, and most of the other couples on the tour had, but it didn't matter, we all had a great time. And... More

The check in was wonderful, very friendly and efficient we were in and on our way in a matter of minutes. The tour guide on the atv trip was very informative and the tour was great. Only wish we had seen some natural wonders and not trees,houses and roads. The views at the summit were great. The jetski part of... More

I am not sure what is meant by "Natural Wonders" but according to most of our other reviews there is plenty of scenery to go around. Yes, we do drive on roads, go by a very few houses on our way to the scenic areas, and yes, we do see lots of trees. (ie:Sub Tropical Forest). As far as the... More

My group of 7 recently took 4 of the 5 machines available out on Gecko's 2:30pm tour. We had a wonderful time; this is how an ATV tour is meant to be. We rode on both pavement and rough trails at a nice enough pace to actually get to use the throttle. While my companions avoided the mud puddles, I... More

There were great photo ops, great information and some very muddy people!! Would do it again, if we get back to St. Croix! The... More

Arlin was a great guide and we had a very good ttime. I recommend the Land & Sea adventure that includes the waverunners...that was a... More

What a blast! Our group was comprised of two couples between 56 and 65 years old. Online booking was easy and any questions we had about age appropriateness were answered quickly and thoughtfully. The meeting location was a five minute walk from the cruise ship pier and we were quickly signed up. After a short wait we were driven by... More

It starts from the beginning. The office is easy to find and super cute. The environment and the friendly service sets the tone for the day. We saw beautiful views of St. Croix and rode thorugh the rain forest. We enjoyed the trip so much we plan to return with the kids. Thank you for a wonderful experience. More
