About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- nmart1130 contributionsHalf West Tour is Excellent!It's been 6 months since our trip to Curaçao and I still think about this tour all the time! Such an excellent experience that allowed us to see so many different landscapes in a short time. Our incredible guide went by the name 'Coach' and was beyond helpful and informative. 100% recommend!Written July 30, 2024
- V4295AIlaurak0 contributionsSo Much to See!This tour was a blast. The staff at check in was great. Leo, our tour guide, was excellent. He explained all the sites, stopped and took lots of pictures, and always made us feel safe on the roads and trails. We were traveling with 3 couples, a 7 year old, 11 year old and a 15 year old. Prepare to get hot and dirty. Trip included a trip to Kokomo Beach.Written July 17, 2024
- Nomad4005160 contributionsMost Accommodating CompanyThis place is wonderful!! The communication was excellent and they were willing to accommodate us when we had problems. They rebooked us for the following day but unfortunately I was still very sick and had to cancel again at the last minute. Not only were they friendly about it but they did not charge us!!! Thanks for going above and beyond and for being so understanding!!Written February 26, 2024
- Navigator154622357700 contributionsHighlight of trip to curaçaoEveryone had fun. People working at Eric’s and leading our group could not have been better or more accommodating. It’s safe, ATVs easy to operate, and leader anticipated our needs and invited our requestsWritten January 12, 2024
- esuorc0 contributionsFun day with ChampWe a had blast seeing the island on ATVs. Champ made sure we understood the operation of the machines and constantly checking to make sure all was ok. From the windmills to the caves and the beautiful beaches, we saw parts of the island only accessible by ATV. Even stopped for local snacks. Fun day!Written November 21, 2023
- garybI7408BQ0 contributionsSnorkelling Tour with ChampExcellent tour with snorkelling. Highly recommended! The guide was informative, fun and very professional. Vehicles clean and tidyWritten November 10, 2023
- X1306FRjackieb0 contributionsIsland viewsGreat time off the beaten path! Got to see so many things we would not have been able to see without off roading. Did the full day tour.Written October 23, 2023
- matjusm0 contributionsAmazing tour of the islandWe took the 3.5h East of Curacao tour, and it was amazing! We decided to go for the shared ATV, getting two separate ones is probably unnecessary if you're a couple. Although the tour recommended long sleeves, trousers and a bandana, you're fine without them. One thing you definitely do want are some athletic closed shoes. Some people on our tour showed up in flip flops and had to sit out some of the stops. The tour (presented by two amazing guides) takes you around the island, going through neighborhoods, an Ostrich farm/bar stop and a mini cave tour, so you have opportunities to get off the ATV. If you do just one thing outside of your resort, this is a good shout for it.Written October 18, 2023
- FrankTheDom20 contributionsBest way to see Curacao!The team (Leo and Ricky), provided an amazing experience for my wife and I. We were able to see Curacao through the eyes of a local whilst riding an ATV, which made for a truly unique experience.Written September 28, 2023
- N6666KTjimmys0 contributionsAn Incredible ATV Tour of CuracaoThis was our favorite ATV tour, perhaps ever. The guides were incredible and the machines were great. We did the West 1/2 day tour and it was perfect. I highly recommend not doing just the East tour. I also feel like the full day would have been too much as we were on those machines for a long time. From the start, you zipped through town F-1 style and it's really neat way to experience Willenstad. We also stopped at a local place for empanadas and drinks if needed (def pick up more water and/or gatorade for the trip, although the guides have some too). We then made a pretty crazy trip on the main roads over to the west side, including over the big bridge, but the guides did a phenomenal job of managing traffic for the group and I never felt unsafe. After that, we went on an off road adventure all over the west part of the island, seeing a cave and also stopping at a beach club for refreshments and a dip in the ocean (which was beautiful). I strongly recommend this tour, as do my entire family and the family we were traveling with.Written July 15, 2023
- 233kathyn0 contributionsFun ATV Tour with Eric’sWe did the half day West tour with The Captain. It was a great tour through the island, the San Pedro Flats, into a cave and to Kokomo Beach. We had so much fun. We were going to go back the next day to do the half day East tour, but my son got sick. Eric’s ATV was so wonderful to work with and they gave us our money back, no questions asked. Very honest people!Written July 13, 2023
- matham1320 contributionsEric’s ATV West TourWhat an dynamic fun time. Riding atvs from on the west coast allowed me and husband to see deserts, beaches and the city from a different vantage point. We rode through city roads, stopped for local snacks, rode through desert Terrain and by a limestone beach . Our guide was amazing Leon also know as chocolate. I would recommend anyone to try. Get ready for adventure!Written June 20, 2023
- cherokeej2000 contributionsSo much funOne of the best tours I’ve been on. Very fun and the guides know Curacao history. It’s pretty cool.Written June 4, 2023
- hrmsandi0 contributionsFun tour!We signed up for the all-day west tour. We saw a surprisingly different side of Curacao. Ricky was our guide and constantly checked to make sure we were doing OK. When we signed up, we didn’t take our age into consideration and had to stop after 4 hours. Fortunately, we were the only ones on this tour, so no one else was inconvenienced. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour!!Written April 1, 2023
- sandih9390 contributionsFull day west atv tripMy husband and I signed up for the full day west atv trip. Ricky was our guide. We didn't take into account our age . Fortunately we were the only ones on the trip, so we begged off after 4 hours. But wow, it was worth every minute. Ricky is a super guide. If we ever get back and want to try a shorter tour, we would definitely ask for Ricky.Written March 24, 2023

My family and I first went in August of 2018, then March of 2019 and again this year of November 2022. Ever since our first tour we became really good friends with the tour guides and always have an awesome time riding around the island. Each time was different doing both the east and west tours. Our favorite part this year was riding through the muddy puddles and getting a little dirty… I mean what’s a real atv tour without getting a little messy. 😁 We stopped by the ostrich farm which is always fun and continued to make our way throughout the east side of the island. Highly recommend bringing a small satchel/fanny-pack, sturdy sunglasses, your phone or a go pro if you have one, long pants/leggings cause the engine does get hot especially on warmer days and shoes you don’t mind getting dirty. They also go over safety rules before riding and do provide water and make sure to eat something light beforehand. And one last thing, enjoy every minute of it!!

Omg one of the best experiences in curacao!!! I loved, loved, loved this excursion!! I didn't know what to expect because my sisters booked it so I really didnt have much information going in but once we got on the atvs it was the time of my life! We had a 3 hour tour and it was exactly what I needed to get my fill of atv riding in! Our tour guides were Angelo and Master G and I loved them! They were so much fun and down to earth and especially aware and concerned for our safety. They always made sure to check up and make sure the group stood together as we traveled the island. Angelo would stay in the front and Master G in the back. Angelo was such a good time with his bright and eccentric personality and Master G was so down to earth and funny with his genuineness! They both worked together and got to know us as we took breaks during the ride. At one point my atv shut off and Master g came to the rescue. Also, one of our group members made a wrong turn and Angelo quickly turned back to get them!
I loved this excursion because ur getting a first hand tour around this beautiful island! We went from the busy streets, to the pastures of the islands, and as far out to the edge of the island where the sea lays and the caves are! I definitely can't wait to go back to book this tour again and thank you Master g and Angelo for making us girls feel so safe! The boys back at the spot were so genuine and friendly. I also like that the merchandise we needed for the atvs were affordable and great souvenirs to bring home and remind us of our great tour! Thank you guys!

This was an awesome excursion on ATVs. It was my very first time and my guide Angel was the best. He made sure my daughter and I felt very comfortable as he took his time with explaining how the vehicle works. He led us around to all different points including the aloe farm, the ostrich farm, and the north shore, among other places. We also had great photo opportunities at each stop. If you are looking for a fun afternoon of sightseeing and excitement, I highly recommend this tour.

We were a group of 11 on a company retreat. From my initial convos with Eric's ATV, they were incredibly responsive via WhatsApp and accommodating to special request for scheduling. I (and my team) were incredibly impressed with the organization and instruction we received to get us comfortable on the ATVs. I think what most set this operator apart was their incredibly choreographed driving for ensuring we crossed traffic safely - one leader would go ahead through a side road and already be waiting to stop traffic! They let our photographer ride with one of the guides and he was able to get great footage. Can't recommend enough!
The guides were also incredibly friendly and kind. Would highly recommend!

Experience was only 5 minutes. Bought the gators/bandanas etc. and all. Crew was nice but horrible customer service and they showed no empathy when asking for a refund. We were charged for two people and only got on for 5 minutes with our 6 year old, who then got scared and started crying. According to the other riders, going down the rocky hill at the very beginning was the scariest part of the trip, which is why kids and even adults could easily get scared. Was stuck waiting for 3 hours until the rest of our group on 6 came back.

This tour was fun and adventurous. My only issue was that they put the less experienced drivers in the front of the pack and that slowed the ride down tremendously. I sort of get why they set i up this way. However, it would have been nice to be able to ride the ATVs a bit faster through the tour and use them for their intended purpose. Perhaps if they have a group for more experienced riders, that would be great. Overall the adventure was great and the guides were awesome!

What an amazing time! Riding atvs from one side of the island to the other was amazing! We rode through parts of the city, down dirt roads and around to multiple areas of the island. We had so much fun with our guides. So much to see and do, will definitely book again when in the area!!

The ship time is 1 hour difference than island time so they considered it late and I was only given the option for the East tour ( no discount) . It’s not really their fault but I kinda feel like I should have been offered a discount because I communicated with them before I arrived regarding the time difference. So definitely be aware that this might happen .
That aside, it was an hour less than the West tour but I had a great time. Got very dirty ( by choice) and saw lots of great views. The island is amazing and I will definitely return . Great guides and lots of fun !

Absolutely incredible experience. Our guide, Coach, was beyond excellent. He continually made sure that we were comfortable and enjoying our experience. He was humorous and knowledgeable, sharing various tidbits of interesting information. The various views were awesome and picture worthy. I highly recommend this excursion.

we had a medical emergency and they refused to refund us. We begged and pleaded to do a different time but they were "full" even though online it said we could still reserve. This is wrong. It was an expensive excursion and they would not have suffered refunding us our money. DO NOT use this company they are not real people who cares about the health of their clients.

Does your West tour cover Shete Boka National park? In particular Boka Pistol? If so, which one? (1/2 day / Full day or both). Also do you have quad ATV and how much is that? Thanks.

Do you really need a driver's licence to drive a ATV even though i had previously ?
Written June 24, 2019
I believe that the ATV are considered street legal on Curacao and on these tours you will be on many regular streets so I believe that a drivers license is required.

In principe moet je een rijbewijs hebben omdat je een gedeelte over de openbare weg gaat...al kijken ze niet zp heel nauw. Maar min leeftijd voor zelf stiren toch minstens wel 16 à 18 jaar. Achterop kan al vanaf jong en goed zitten en vast houden aan je bestuurder. Denk zelf vanaf jaar of 6/7 voor achterop

Is this experience age appropriate for a 5 and 6-year-old to ride with an adult?

If they are tough kids sure. There’s a lot of bouncing around and they need to have a tight grip.
