This is a truly Antiguan activity that gives you a view of the island from an angle no other excursion would. We are described by most as an off road rollercoaster ride through the back lands of villages and towns then to our secluded beach for a dip before we excite you again.
All adventurers need to be prepared! Ensure you have a valid drivers license if you wish to drive. Comfort is key, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for an island adventure. Our trained guides are here to ensure your safety and enjoyment, catering to all your needs throughout the tour.

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

1.00We 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.

4.00The 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.
Amazing Experience!

3.00The tour guides were awesome and very friendly. The experience itself is a lot of fun but would be much better if they took a different route. We drove through cow pastures so it’s not just mud you get on you! A good part of the ride is on the streets and is not for the faint of heart. We also went through an area that had a lot of garbage on the side of the road. We did stop at a beautiful beach but our time there was limited because of equipment malfunctions. This would be an awesome experience if they carved out a more scenic safer trail. Not worth the cost in our opinion.
Your need a face scarf...
