3.ATV Tour, Camel Ride, Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3,380 reviews · from $149

You’ll ride an automatic ATV through cactus-lined desert trails, then take a camel along a beach at Tierra Sagrada. Guides such as Juan, Miguel, Alina, and Jorge lead the activities, tequila tasting, and buffet lunch. Expect a small group, required helmet, extra park and collision fees, and costly optional photos.

“They split up our group so that more experienced riders could go fast, which was really nice for them! We had to pay an extra $80 each upon arrival for entrance fee and insurance which was a bit of a bait and switch. Lunch was great and the margaritas were strong! $1600 for 6 people total, which included pictures. You can’t take ANY pictures of the camels. I would give five stars if they were up front about price!”

5.Lembongan & Mangrove Buggy Tour with Buffet Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 40 reviews · 8 - 9 hours · from $49

You’ll take a 45-minute fast boat from Serangan to Nusa Lembongan, visit Yellow Bridge, Dream Beach, Devil’s Tears, and Panorama Point, then eat an Indonesian buffet and kayak through the mangroves. A guide leads the island loop, with Bali pickup or a Serangan meeting option. Kayak time can be shorter than planned.

“Parfaite prise en charge. Toutefois, pour le combiné visite en buggy et Kayak, il est dommage qu'on ne passe pas plus de temps sur dream beach ou le gouffre. Nous avons attendu le retour des plongeurs et le temps de repas pour faire 20mns de kayak.”

6.Boracay: Island Hopping with Buffet Lunch & ATV Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 14 reviews · 8 hours · from $78

Spend eight hours island hopping around Boracay, snorkeling at Crocodile Island, eating a local buffet, riding an ATV on the mainland, and relaxing in a hot kawa bath. English-speaking guides such as Lyn and Ejay have earned special praise for keeping the day friendly and organized, though timing and optional entrance fees require attention.

“We arrived at 830-845 as directed for the 9am tour. We did not board until 920 as a couple who signed in had gone missing. At the first stop (Puka) we were told we had 30 mins to explore and back to the boat. 45 mins later the same couple arrived back. I expected the guide to explain to the couple that they had delayed the tour for everyone else twice now but this did not happen. Next we went for lunch, lunch was a tasty buffet. Approx. 1hr later we left for Crystal Cove. The guide was very unorganised about tickets for this and I feel it would be…”

7.Bohol: Choco Tour + Loboc River Lunch Buffet + ATV Adventure

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 10 reviews · 8 hours · from $121

Spend eight hours exploring Bohol by private car, with stops at Chocolate Hills, a one-hour, 12-kilometer ATV course, Loboc River’s Filipino buffet cruise, the Tarsier Sanctuary, and Bilar’s mahogany forest. English-speaking drivers such as Kuya Tata and Eric have helped make the day smooth, though the river cruise can feel rushed.

“Génial nous en avons pris plein les yeux. Quad excellent on vous prends en photos, vidéos, avec des effets géniaux. Forcément un petit pourboire est bien mérité. Et le parcours se faire à travers des rizières etc c'est génial. Chocolate hill splendide Juste un peu court le temps à la chocolate hill il manque genre 10 ou 15 min pour faire des achats sans se précipiter. Tarsier très sympathique à voir Un stop à une forêt mythique Ensuite le repas sur la rivière c'est trop beau et bon. Bon juste le stop du bateau, genre on a trouver une tribue etc bon c'est un peu l'arnaque touriste mais sinon rien…”
