Off-roading with a side of secluded beach - This was a very fun experience riding through the woods, sand beach, and muddy terrain through countryside with lots of cattle. You get the full experience of off roading and then at the end you go to hermitage beach for a beautiful view and dip in the water to wash away the debris from the UTV. You then jump back onto the buggy and blast off into the forest to return back. This was so much fun for our group!

Great experience! - We had a great experience. Our transportation driver was very friendly and everyone there was nice and accommodating. I would highly recommend this tour. Do, however, allow at least an additional hours time in case of any unforseen delays, as with any tour. We really enjoyed ourselves!

Mud buggy adventure - Overall had a great time getting muddy and driving through the backroads (and sometimes main streets) of Antigua. Great activity for a family with young adult children. Equipment is likely very challenging to maintain, so our tour did experience some mechanical issues (2 buggies broke down but both issues were accommodated with the guests), but it did cost our tour the time at the beach, which was cut short. But had a great time otherwise and a great option outside the beautiful water of Antigua.

Fun - We had a great time, however our driver maybe spoke ten words to us the entire time. He did not offer to take pictures but rather we and the other two guests exchanged taking photos of each other. The driver didn’t give any information about the beach we stopped at, no history or information about the people or the area; nothing. He was support to tell us when to drop into 4 x 4; Nope. Just follow the leader. The most he said to us was “There is water if you want it” kind of thing. We almost didn’t tip. The driver who picked us up at the hotel, Devin (?) was great! On the way back he took us through St John’s and discussed the history and the culture of the people. He was worth the extra pick up fee.

Fun but please read full review - Staff and pick-up/drop-off driver were friendly, everything was running on time. If you want to drive, take your license. Make sure you take cash or credit card to pay extra for the driver to pick you up and take you to the meeting location. Really wish that would be included in the stated price, would much rather pay that way. The driving instructions are played on a speaker but you have no visual point of reference to what they are referring to on this in the vehicle. The recorded instructions also tell you that if you have a flat tire, it will be a charge of $900 and any cosmetic damage to the vehicle is a minimum of $1000. That should be plainly stated on the website as a disclaimer since that was a big surprise to hear it stated that way. Otherwise it was a great time, rained in the morning so fun with mud and not dust! Vehicles in good shape, needed alignment but that's to be expected considering what they are used for. Tires were good, no one got stuck. Little more than halfway through, guides offered water/soda.

A must if you like adventure - The staff was AMAZING! We drove on streets, through terrain, and stopped at a beach. We were able to switch drivers so both of us could share the experience. The scenery was diverse and beautiful. The downside was having to pay extra to be picked up at our resort and not being able to drive faster.

Experience could've been better - I would've given a higher review but our driver did not explain the areas where we drove through or any history. When we got to the beach, again no information no history. Just a "You have 10 mins" and went and talked to someone he knew. Loved the experience itself but the driver was lacking. The driver who picked us and dropped us off was great and very knowledgeable. Gave us great places to go eat in the city and provided us history about Antigua.

Should have been 5 stars but was ruined by our guide. - The driving and scenery were fantastic. It was a ton of fun. We did not have any of the problems that some people have reported with equipment/tires. BRING GOGGLES. We wished for dust protection the entire time when one guest mentioned it to the guide he said that they have them for sale but that we should have brought our own. He said it was posted on the description but I can’t find it. He treated the guests like it was their fault they had problems. It was bad enough one pair got lost because they couldn’t see. Our guide got stuck in the mud going very slow so we were close together. He just peeled out until he got unstuck but we were right behind him and got covered in mud. He never said a word about it later while we were washing the mud off in the sea. Overall this should have been perfect but was tarnished by a guide that had probably just had a really long day and was tired of tourists.

False advertisement - My group of 6 were unable to complete this excursion although we were what we thought was prepared. Nobody in our group had requested drivers license therefore were not allowed to complete thus excursion. We are in the process of requesting a full refund because this vital requirement was not stated and this excursion was prebooked.

Bald slick tires! - Arrive for the trip on time it was raining so I was a little concerned after I inspected the mud buggy and all four tires were bald and slick. I asked how much of this tour would be on the road they said 50%… I thought for a minute and said, I don’t think I’m going to take this trip today. Please cancel me.
