“If you are looking at the ATV excursions, don’t look any further and book this one! This is a small business run by a couple who are absolutely fabulous. We went with 7 people and only 2 other people were in the group with us. The ATVs are in great condition and easy to use. They take you through the forest, to a wild beach free of tourists, coconut groves and a village. The views are amazing and so was this whole experience. Don’t worry about not being able to use your cameras on the ride because Marianna (I think that was the tour guide’s name) takes videos and pictures…”

“Transportation was good (we were very close so cannot really speak for others further away). A bit of a wait at the beginning before going on the buggy tour. The buggy tour itself in my opinion wasn’t as exciting as trips I have done in the past. The group was fairly large so maybe that was why. Didn’t really pick up too much speed as a result. There is a no phone policy for “safety” which they were VERY strict on. Almost too overbearing. I was a passenger so didn’t see any reason why I shouldn’t be allowed my phone. (I believe it’s mainly so you buy the photos in…”

L arnaque. Il n y a même pas un prix différent pour le passager bien qu’il soit dans le même buggy. Nous avons fait le buggy avec la grotte. Thème pierre à feu. Beaucoup mieux”
