    This experience was absolutely wonderful! The guides were outstanding and knowledgeable of the area (shout out to Sadie who had nerves of steel riding with me). It had not rained in a while, so the trail was VERY dusty. Be sure to bring face coverings. The buggies were in great condition and most of the journey is through the countryside down to the beach. Be prepared to drive through areas of town that have more litter and debris than you would prefer. This is beyond the company’s control as there are no other viable options but going through certain parts of town to reach points of interest.

  • A unique way to see Antigua!

    This is a fantastic way to see Antigua! I'm sure there are several other trails and sojourns throughout the tiny island nation, but the mud buggy adventure gets you through it in unique style. This is a beefed-up, left-hand drive go-cart with full roll cage that seats two people. It has a simple accelerator pedal and brake; just know that it is NOT power steering. Obviously, the driver has the steering wheel, yet the passenger has a stout steel roll bar in front of the seat to hang on. And trust me: it is needed! I suppose the "mud" aspect depends on the rainy season, but I didn't encounter any... but wife did! Just a bit, though. We drove through sedate country roads with various houses and ranchlands with cattle and goats. At one point, our lead driver, Joel, slowed down to allow/encourage a herd of sheep to clear off the road. It was rather bucolic, a sort of "one with nature" moment. The steering in the buggy is a bit delayed - it is not a sports car! - so you need to learn how to anticipate the turns ahead as you follow the lead driver. Also, you may want to bring along a handkerchief or face covering as it will get dusty along the way. (Don't ask me how I know that! LOL) We ended up (I think) at Sea Fort Beach, a secluded spot with a magnificent view of Monserrat, which is 25 miles away, clear as a bell. It conjures thoughts of what it must have been like some 30 years ago when Montserrat's Soufrière Hills volcano blew... and to have front row seating of Mother Nature's power from this very beach. Wow! The awesomeness of nature awaits all throughout this fantastic excursion. When you go to Antigua, don't miss the opportunity... you won't regret it!

    Oh my gosh, this was so much fun! It was so fun to go through the countryside and driving. The ATVs was a blast. You will get a little dirty! But completely worth it.

  • Should have been fun right?

    IT wasn’t SO BAD HOWEVER, JOEL, the owner I’m assuming; scared everyone about damaging the vehicles and how insanely costly it would be- for example $900 USD for a replacement tire (rolls eyes) lets be realistic. That immediately took the fun out of it. In the 14 years they have been doing this there have only been six incidents. How ironic was it that one of the other vehicles ended up breaking down, but it wasn’t even the fault of the driver. In my opinion, it could’ve been a little bit more fun and laid-back. Also, it is advertised as buggy, but instead they give you a UTV to ride. If you book outside of Viator, they ask you for your credit card when you arrive- “for verification purposes”. Antigua is beautiful and the beaches are all amazing- so don’t let this discourage you.

  • Must buggies were a blast!

    This was our first trip to Antigua and we wanted to do something fun. There hadn't been much rain before our event, so we thought it might end up being a "dust buggy" experience. Everything worked well with the pre-booking, but due to lack of steady internet access we utilized guest services at our resort to assist us with the pick-up time confirmation. The transportation was on time and it took about 45 minutes to reach the location. Just after we arrived, the skies opened up and once the rain stopped we were ready to go. Putting safety first, we were fitted with helmets and given a presentation on dos and don'ts and strapped into a safety harness inside the buggy. The steering wheel is on the left side and the buggy is open to the elements, so wear closed toe shoes and clothes you won't mind getting muddy. Bring a waterproof fanny pack for any personal items as there is no place to store them. Sunglasses and a neck gaitor are necessary to keep dust and mud off your face! The steering wheel may be a little stiff at times, but a little muscle helps. The buggies are made for two people, a guide leads the group and another will follow behind. Your route will take you on backroads, through fields, to a beach and on regular roadways. Our ride was filled with laughter every time we got muddy and it was worth every penny! Our transport home was so accommodating, he even lined the seats with garbage bags so we wouldn't ruin the upholstery. I would recommend this tour for the friendliness of the staff and guides, their safety precautions and the route we took. Thanks again for a great time!

  • Partial Buggy Ride

    One of the buggy’s died at the start of the experience so we ended up not being able to finish the ride and had to request a refund. The little bit of the ride we were able to do was fun and exciting. We just couldn’t finish.

  • Unsafe, Misleading, and Pointless – A Complete Waste of Time and Money

    We just got back from the buggy tour and honestly, I wish we never went. What was advertised as a thrilling, muddy adventure ended up being one of the most unprofessional, unsafe, and disappointing experiences of our trip. To start, the tour was led by a group of very young guides — none of them looked older than 20 — and their inexperience was clear from the start. Their own buggy broke down six separate times throughout the tour, leaving everyone stopped on the side of the path over and over again with no explanation or communication. They didn’t tell us what was going on, didn’t apologize, and just kept trying to fix the vehicle until it worked again — then sped off ahead without saying a word. They claimed they’d be checking behind them every few seconds to make sure everyone was okay, but that never happened. They were often completely out of sight, and we were left on our own navigating rough, rocky, uneven terrain. I tried waving them down multiple times when we were struggling, and they completely ignored us. There were several moments where I genuinely thought we were going to flip over. The buggy felt unstable and unsafe the entire time. We were so shaken up that we ended up skipping the beach stop and left the rest of the tour early because we simply didn’t feel safe continuing. On top of the safety issues, the tour was incredibly misleading. It was advertised as a muddy adventure, but there was absolutely no mud — just dusty dirt roads. Even if it hadn’t rained, calling this a “mud tour” is blatantly false advertising. We didn’t drive through any fun areas, no puddles, nothing that even resembled mud. They also promised water or soda — we received none. Not a single refreshment, despite being out in the heat for hours. The website never mentioned goggles either, but they handed us a pair last minute (which we definitely needed). That should’ve been listed as a requirement in advance. Worst of all, there were no real stops or landmarks shown. The guides didn’t take the time to explain anything or show us any scenery or history. It felt like we were just aimlessly driving around in a beat-up, unsafe vehicle for no reason. There was no adventure, no immersion — just a bumpy, confusing, and poorly run ride. Overall, this was a careless, unsafe, and completely pointless experience. False advertising, unqualified guides, no communication, and nothing memorable about it except how relieved we were to be done. Save your time, money, and energy — and book literally anything else.

    We had had an amazing time. Our guides Made sure we all new what we were doing, we were safe, hydrated, and stayed together as a group. No buggy left behind. We had a great see St Mary's Parish, a little stop and dip at the beach, some dirt, but a lot of fun. Check them out for a fun tour when vacationing in Antigua! We enjoyed it!

    Justin was an amazing tour guide! He was extremely polite and gave us insight to the great landmarks of Antigua. Be prepared to get messy on this excursion and especially if it rained recently! Definitely a 10/10 experience and I highly recommend Justin to everyone!

    The tour was great. He guy was very friendly and took us to see a really nice beach. The only negative was that the ATVs were old and slow. I would only recommend this if you want to drive slow.
