About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Passenger009347092510 contributionsATV Free Ride was the absolute best!The Free ride ATV tour has become a staple in our trip to Sint Marteen. The operators dropped off and picked up the ATV from our location and made it very easy. They also communicated with us very well throughout the day and if we had questions they were available.Written May 4, 2024
- D8625UWhaleyb0 contributionsATV Island - The best!Starting with a wonderful pickup driver, Antony, we knew our day with ATV Island was going to be a great one. Our guide, Bill, was a fantastic tour guide. Not only did he keep us safe with his driving skills, but he was very informative and personable with the whole tour. He showed us exactly what we wanted to see and what we should see and shared much info about the island. Bill went out of his way to make our first day in Sint Maarten absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend!Written March 16, 2024
- W9878BHsamuelw0 contributionsGreat ATV Tour experience!!Did this off coming off of a cruise for the day. Julio was great in communicating and setting up my group for the island tour! We went all over the island and it was amazing!!Written January 10, 2024
- GCK0 contributionsGreat quick way to see the islandGreat way to see the island quickly. Guide was very flexible if we wanted to spend more time at a stop. Atvs in good condition throughout. Guide kept good track of all of us- a chore with all the other tourists driving on the island. Locals are very accommodating of the atvs. Our guide was very young, which we knew and were cool with as we’ve been here before - if he picks up a few good local facts and history to share with people, he will be in demand. He already has the proper attitude.Written December 20, 2023
- ShellyV4780 contributionsDon't do itTooo bad I can't give no stars. We rented a jeep to drive ourselves. The vehicle was in terrible condition. Engine light on all the time. Engine kept slipping and hard to go in reverse. Lots of rust inside the car and loose wires hanging from the dashboard. No navigation in the vehicle. No street signs, no addresses, no street names or numbers and no signs saying where you are or what is ahead in St. Maarten. The company's directions were "bear right." Well, we wound up in some of the worst areas of the island. We only found our way back to port port by finally spotting a tour bus and followed them. The worst time ever. Disgusting that they take you money - of course upfront.Written November 21, 2023
- Phil M0 contributionsNot my worst experience but it made the top 5Jeep was all beat up. Every caution light was lit up on the dashboard. Jeep was filthy. Windows needed to be washed and wiper’s didn’t work. Discrimination said they were 2023 jeeps. Maybe 2013 if lucky. Shocks were non existent. On the plus side it did go forward and backwardsWritten October 26, 2023
- Karen M0 contributionsJeep rental for the dayWe rented a Jeep for the day and explored the island on our own time. It was a great way to see everything we wanted. Junior picked us up and dropped us off at the port making everything very easy. I would highly recommend ATV Island.Written August 11, 2023
- austinmO557VQ0 contributionsSeamless and fun!Rented an ATV for the day! What a blast and we got to go out and explorer the island on our own! Pickup/drop off was seamless and done right at the entrance to the cruise port (2 minute walk off the ship). Highly recommend and will be doing it again next cruise!Written August 10, 2023
- R1491VCtomm0 contributionsOnly way to see St. Maarten.Saúl was an awesome guide, he took very good care of our entire group of 8. 5 atv and a side by side. They met you at the port gate, so walk through all the shops and huts, when you think missed it, walk a little further. They give you a ride to their headquarters a few blocks away, brief safety meeting and your off. The way to see the island is definitely by atv. We stayed on paved roads so don't let it scare you. No doors, no windows let's you really see everything and no cramped or hunched over exits from some van or bus. Loved Friars Bay Beach. I would also recommend water shoes, One stop you can walk out to a smaller island, south the walk for the bus but it is rocky. Plenty of time to swim and snorkels bring your gear if you got it, or rent it with a beach chair, they had everything food and drinks too! Re-apply sunscreen every stop or you'll regret it. Would definitely book again and request SAÚL he was awesome.Written August 9, 2023
- Kaylin F0 contributionsFantastic experience!So neat to be able to explore on our own time! We highly recommend watching the video map a couple of times ahead of going and downloading it to follow the route as it is easier than the map. The group will suggest going to Friar’s Beach which is a little off the guided video but well worth it as it is great snorkeling, beautiful beach, no crowds, and good food. We will definitely rent from ATV island again when we return!Written July 28, 2023
- bradfurr0 contributionsFun Day exploringVery easy process from pickup to drop off at cruise ship terminal. Julio made the process quick and easy. He explained the island to our drivers and gave us a map . He gave us some pointers on what to do and see . We were a group of 12 and rented 2 Jeeps and a side by side. Be sure to take in account traffic gets pretty heavy in Philipsburg and took us over an hour to get out of town .Written June 6, 2023
- michelleg2740 contributionsEasiest car rental everEasiest car rental we’ve ever done. The people were very nice and provided transportation from the cruise terminal to the Jeep and atv location.Written June 4, 2023
- FamilyExplorers230 contributionsQuick responsesEasy, very flexible (booked day of, while at Breakfast on the ship). Glad we found this group. Ask for Julio at the port exit.Written May 25, 2023
- micahs7620 contributionsGreat choice for exploring the island on your own.Super easy, very convenient. These guys are right next to the cruise ship terminal. You walk out to the main gate then they will drive you to their lot a minute away. Paperwork was just a few minutes and we were on our way with a Jeep. We wanted to explore a bit and go to several beaches so the Jeep rental made a lot of sense. Getting around the island is easy, and the operator provides a paper map which was very helpful.Written April 29, 2023
- henrydJ1362NO0 contributionsSt Martin adventure.Being able to travel around the island at our own pace was great. We had no problems other than loosing our way a few times but that was part of the adventure. It was much more fun than following someone leading a line of atvs down the rode.Written April 26, 2023

There are not enough words to express how great this Company is! From start to finish, it was a great experience. The representative was easy to find at the port and within no time at all we were settled into our 6 person side-by-side. We cruised all over the island and had a wonderful time.
Where their service REALLY stood out was towards the end of our excursion. We unexpectedly got stuck in traffic back to the ship and as we realized we were in jeopardy of missing our ship I called the excursion company and Sanchez pretty much spent close to our entire drive back to the ship (over 1 hour) on the phone with me assisting us with shortcuts to try and cut off some time. He even sent someone on a scooter to meet us and escort us back to the ship through side streets, and at times cutting off traffic. He wouldn't let me off the phone with him until all of us scanned are passes to get back on the ship. To say they went above and beyond is an understatement. They were INCREDIBLE and I HIGHLY recommend this company. Next time we are on the island we will be doing this again!!!

Worth the price to be able to explore in the open air with our four best friends! We circled the island, climbed to Fort Louis, hiked to Happy Bay from Friar's Bay Beach, lunched in Marigot and avoided the kamikaze scooter and motorcycle riders, all at our own pace. Tour operator was great.

The vehicle was a lot of fun and provided great transportation around the island. Since we had it for the entire day we could stop at any point and take a break to swim or have a snack or lunch. The vehicle was a little beat up, but was perfectly reliable. As a warning - we did not see any road signs so made a couple wrong turns, but no problem, we had lots of time!

Loved this! The map was very clear and easy to follow. They gave us the side by side to use all day. We were able to see the entire island and stop where we wanted and stay as along as we wanted. This was great for my family of 4. 2 kids age 9 and 4. Wonderful we were able to go off road to find secluded beach.

We came in on a cruise, arriving in the morning and we had to be back on the boat by 4:30 that afternoon. We opted to rent the 6 Seater Side by Side from Julio after reading other positive reviews on TA. We were not disappointed! Everything went down exactly as the listing described. We proceeded to the main gate of the Cruise port and asked for Julio and quickly found him. After waiting only a minute or two, we were picked up and taken to the facility just a minute or two up the road. The guys there went over the operation of the buggy, familiarized us with a map of the island and we were on our way. We managed to see more of the island than anyone else on our boat that we talked to. I would recommend these guys and if we are ever back on St. Maarten, we will be renting from them again.

Julio was an amazing tour guide. He is friendly and ensures a good time. He even made changes to the tour to make sure we saw all the sites we were interested in. He took us on a half day tour across the whole island with several stops at famous land marks. Our group took hundreds of pictures. Our group had the choice of driving ATVs, buggies, Jeeps and more. This was easily the best your of our group's entire vacation. I highly recommend this tour.

This was a unique way to see the island of St. Maarten!
However, it’s best if you have a plan and know exactly where you want to visit. The island map they provided was very basic so we ended up using the GPS on our phone and choosing different beaches to visit. Orient Bay and Mullet Bay beach were amazing! We wished we had more time at the second beach stop, but since we were on a cruise, we were very aware of our timing so as not to be late. I was disappointed that the first thing we were told to do was fill the 6-seater with gas! I felt that for the price we paid, a full tank should have been included.
If you are adventurous and want to do your own thing (and don’t mind the noise and wind of driving what is like a large go-kart!), this is definitely an interesting way to visit the island. We were glad we tried it but next time we will pick a tour so we can relax a bit more and not worry about navigating and driving ourselves around!

This excursion was amazing! They were quick to pick us up and get us situated in our vehicle . I don't think there is a better way to tour and see the island! It was our favorite day and we were a family if 5 so it was perfect for us! Will do again!

Vehicle was smoking after a hour of driving. Finally it kept backfiring and broke down. The vehicles are old and worn out.

Is this a 3 hour rental only or all day?
Also is this a automated transmission
Written March 13, 2019
Our rental was for the entire day. The facility is very close to the cruise port, so we were able to get a lot of use out of our rental. And, yes, it is an automatic transmission.
