- julib00g0 contributionsAmazing tour around ArubaHad amazing time doing the natural wonders in Aruba. Our guide Juan was brilliant so informative had such a laugh and seen some beautiful sights there was another 3 other couples who were friends from America who made us so welcome. When they say off roading wow very bumpy dusty muddy but great fun even when the suspension on our vehicle snapped they had it replaced in 15 minutes absoulty great way to have toured the island would highly recommend this tour and the companyWritten February 11, 2023

All the stops we made were great to see and they made the experience more enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour and request Andrew and Petto!Written December 7, 2022

- 295gabriellek0 contributionsAmazing!We had an awesome time on the ATV tour. The terrain is rocky but it is an adventure! You signed up for the adventure not for a drive in the park. We can’t recommend our guide, Devon enough. He was awesome and made sure we had an amazing time and snapped all the great pics. Views were amazing. Can’t wait to come back!Written October 3, 2022
- Agrove7870 contributionsExciting and beautiful adventureThis was an amazing experience. Our tour guides, Alejandro and Antony were so great. They were kind and funny and made the whole adventure amazing! We went to many very cool spots and saw beautiful views. Very fun.Written August 19, 2022
- jamiesO2002DI0 contributionsOverall a Good Experience - Pick the UTV, not the ATVThe tour is definitely challenging in an ATV. I liked the tour but it was only me and my friend on ATVs and the rest of the group in UTVs. This was a bit difficult and I don't think it made for the best tour. The speeds with the bumps was possibly a little unsafe on the ATV. Additionally they gave us sub-par helmets & if we were to get thrown from the ATV I don't know how well they would have protected us. Overall if you are going to do this tour - pick the UTVs. They are much better suited for this environment. Also, when going on this tour if you are going to do the cave jumping (which is very neat and you should do) then you have to wear water shoes with a thick sole. You are climbing over rocks and volcanic coral that is sharp on your feet. But the cave should not be missed. It looks scary to get down to but it is well worth it. Also, it wasn't mentioned but the tour did give us water along the way which was much appreciated. Also, there is a restroom at the gold mine stop in a truck which is about half way through the tour in case you need to go. Also, it was surprisingly clean. Overall it is a fun trip but they really need to separate the ATV tours from the UTV tours.Written March 8, 2022
- nicholaspaz0 contributionsUTV adventure tourIt really WAS an adventure! The UTV trip was fast and dirty- not for the faint of heart. Having to decend down a ladder into the little cliff pool- jump was super fun as well. Joejoe and Alejandro were absolutely fantastic guides.Written February 23, 2022
- tonij9900 contributionsBest off road experienceThis was one of the best tours I have ever experienced in my life. Jesse and JJ were amazing and went above and beyond to make our trip memorable and fun. I would definitely recommend to others and do it again when I return.Written February 12, 2022

- vanessarN7893OH0 contributionsAmazing tourOur tour guide Jersey was amazing. He was kind and answered our questions. He even taught us some of the island language. The cave pool was rough walking on the rocks and he assisted me. Overall I loved this tour and Jerzey made it even better.Written October 6, 2021
- I944EGmichaelj0 contributionsFun in the sun, dont drive into a cactusTour was great for me but no so much for my fiancee. We bought two single ATVs and she there was not a basic ride around before we got started on the tour. Her steering was not that easy and barely made it out of the parking lot before deciding to ride with the guide in his UTV. The speed was a little fast and it was tough to keep up through the roughness. Almost seemed a little unsafe. The tour around the island was great and some amazing views. We both jumped into the natural pool which was terrifying and amazing at the same time. Great to see a completely different side of the island. Devin was quite the photographer and really was great overall. Beto helped pull my fiancee out of the cactus (before she decided to ride with Devin) and was a true MVP.Written October 5, 2021
- 873darylj0 contributionsGreat adventure.This was a great adventure. ToTo, our tour guide, was great. Filled with energy and he made the whole ride fun. I was the only person to pick a solo ATV. It was my first time riding one. He made sure i was safe and provided me tips on the rocky part of the tour. The rocky hills made me nervous. There were a few times i thought i would tip over but i didnt. I am glad i did it. I just wish i didnt turn my gopro off at they rocky parts. Guess i will have to do this again to get that video. Also, i advise people doing the solo ATVs, get goggles. I had shades on but the dust still got in my eyes. There was a face shield on the helmet but it was scratched up and foggy so i didnt use it.Written September 17, 2021

We took the UTV tour and LOVED it!! It was a great way to see most of the island. Remy was our guide, he was super fun and knowledgeable of Aruba and its history. Goggles weren't really required on our tour, as the winds were high and the dust blew away before it got in our eyes. We were given "half balaclava style" masks and they were useful. You WILL get dirty, so if that is a problem for you, then maybe you should do something else. But if getting out in the air and seeing things from a new perspective is of interest to you, then this is the way to go. I can't say enough good about our experience. And a lot of the positive energy came from Remy. He truly enjoys what he is doing and really cares that you have a fantastic experience.

We took the UTV tour without a lot of planning. We could not have taken a better tour if we had planned for weeks. Our guides Richie and Willems were not only very informative with history of the island and the sites we visited, they were considerate and witty (couldn't ask for better). The UTV tour was beautiful scenery and exciting terrain. Highly recommend this tour, even if this is your only excursion outside of the pool/ beach activities you will not regret it.

Our family of 5 ranging in ages 8-41 loved our 1/2 day trip! Our UTV had some battery issues along the way and Preston stayed back with us to finish our tour once we were back up and running. He was SUPER polite, great with our children, and very knowledgeable. I'd totally recommend this excursion. If you've been on four wheelers before (in the woods) this is a fun and easy drive! I had expected it to be a lot scarier than it was. However, bring or buy a bandana and eye safety goggles/glasses. The dust is for real!

This excursion was a blast from beginning to end. Our guide Leroy was very knowledgeable and fun to spend time with...he was obviously very proud of his island and happy to share it with us. He even went the extra mile to help me find my cell phone that I dropped somewhere along the way (it was luckily found by another trip guide) which I couldn't thank him for enough! Helpful tip: don't carry anything, especially valuables, in your pockets during this bumpy ride!! And, spend the extra few bucks for the goggles they sell in the office...well worth every penny! Highly recommend these folks; we'll be back.

This was my first time ever in Aruba, and my family and I decided to book a UTV tour with this company and it was SO much fun. Our tour guide was Sammy and he was incredible - he was knowledgeable on all the spots we stopped at, and he was very personable and hilarious!! I truly believe that having a good tour guide is all part of having a good experience, and Sammy made it an unforgettable one for us! Also appreciated that they picked us up at our hotel and dropped us off after so that we didn’t have to worry about finding the establishment/parking. Definitely would recommend to anyone who’s thinking of going on a UTV tour to book with this company - there were several stops, it didn’t feel too short, and it didn’t feel too long either, it was the perfect tour! (It does get a bit dusty in some areas, so i’d recommend bringing some sort of bandana/face mask and sunglasses/goggles - or you can also buy some from the company when you get there!)

Our UTV tour experience started out a little rocky, but our guide, Jesse, rocked!
There was a little confusion on where we were supposed to meet, so we sat waiting for the tour company to pick us up at the time specified in the booking email. However, a second email was sent from the company, 15 minutes ahead of the tour start, telling us to meet in a different location. A gentleman from another hotel directed us to the tour guide’s office.
The training on how to operate the UTV is minimal, but extensive explanation wasn’t necessary. Two of our friends volunteered to drive. Jesse road an ATV ahead of us, guiding our path. If you’re going to follow Jesse, you have to move swiftly!
Due to the rockiness of the latter part of our trip, Jesse actually drove our UTV up to our final destination on the trip.
Our trip had three stops: The good mill, the natural bridge and the natural pool.
I would highly recommend. I would have rated our trip a five had we not had the meeting location snafu earlier on. Jesse gets a 5!

Had a fantastic adventure with Juan as our guide. We let our 18 year old drive and she did a great job on both the streets and the very bumpy, very windy dirt roads. Juan had great timing and got us to the cave jump swim when there were only a few other folks. There were only 5 vehicles in our group and we saw other tour companies with uncountable numbers. We love small groups for many reasons but with all the dirt and dust that’s in the air, this made a huge difference. Definitely need sunglasses or goggles and a bandana. We brought ours from home though they had some for sale. My daughter stopped wearing hers halfway through and was completely dirt brown by the end. We all laughed and enjoyed the off-road adventure but it’s definitely not for the faint hearted. We would do it again tomorrow.

We did a quick girlfriend’s get away to Aruba and this was definitely a highlight!!! Gigi was our fantastic and fun guide—who handled all of the extra adventurous parts with an expert hand. This is a fun way to see the desert side of the island and to see all of the gorgeous scenery along the way. More adventures await after your bumpy drive as you get to the beautiful beach portion, which offers some more opportunities to challenge yourself a little while still enjoying. And you choose your own adventure. I chose to jump off the cliff (woohoo) and it was worth it. Lots of the women did it in our group which was so good for the younger girls and boys to see.
Thx Gigi for an awesome experience! And for helping us capture it all in some great photos 😍!

The experience was absolutely amazing. It was my partners first time driving a UTV and Juan the instructor took his time and made her feel comfortable. The tour itself was amazing so many different things to explore from the cathedral to mountain tops and beaches and cliff jumping. The history we learned about Aruba from our tour guide Juan was amazing. Definitely would do again and highly recommend.

Let me begin by saying this tour was so exciting! We had the best tour guide - his name was Pete. He, by far is one of the number one guides there in Aruba. He was extremely kind, intelligent, and even took us where we wanted to go (off the beaten path) - if you want excitement in Aruba, you must take this UTV tour ask for Pete you will not be disappointed !!! We enjoyed it so much we took the UTV tour twice in one week!

Do you get to go in the caves on this tour?
Written June 9, 2019
We’ve enjoyed tours in the morning. By the time we get back and cleaned up, (you do get pretty dirty on this tour) we’re ready to eat! I’m sure either time you go would be well worth it, just depends on how you want to spend your time.

Hello, I’m a mom considering taking an ATV/UTV tour with my 17 & 13yr old sons this week. Can my older son go alone on an ATV and my younger son & I go together on a UTV on the same tour? Do you mix ATVs and UTV’s on the same tour? Although all 3 of us have experience driving ATV’s (my parents have them), I’m aware my 13yr old cannot drive.
Written March 25, 2019
I believe you have to be 18 to dive their vehicles. The UTV provides plenty of room for three people. We had five people in our UTV. We paid for three people and two were free. Hope that helps.

How "rough" is the drive in the UTV adventure guided tour - any steep roads/hills up or down?
Written March 2, 2019
It can get pretty rough. We did have some pretty steep areas to ride through but we loved it. You can certainly take it easy but you’re following others so it could delay things if you go too slow.
