Tours description

Buggy is easy to drive and offers muddy fun, ATV provides a more technical ride with less splash, Kayo is the premium option with more power and comfort.

Bring a bandana and sunglasses, trails can be dusty or muddy depending on weather.

Ride through countryside off-road trails to a natural cenote in El Salado, take a short dip to cool off and grab quick photos.

Independent local vendors may be present, simply say no, thank you if you are not interested.

Continue to Macao Beach, relax, rinse off, and take photos, waves can be strong so swim with care.

Return to the ranch to view and purchase tour photos and browse local souvenirs, optional.

My friend & I had a great experience on our ATV tour! The price is fair & the people are super friendly. People had said in other reviews it feels rushed & I agree it is not a long time ago each spot but I didn’t mind because I got to see a lot in just 4 hours. If you want to see quite a bit of the landscape while not spending all day out on a tour it is a great choice:) The tour guides being welcoming made it even better, if you want to see a beautiful sunset then book the 2:30 pm tour!!

Tracy SzaflickiVia Trustindex

The buggy ride was absolutely fantastic, offering a thrilling and fun experience while showcasing beautiful parts of the island, including Macao Beach. The guides were professional and made the journey enjoyable. Along the way, we encountered locals selling goods—remember to stay firm but kind as they often rely on commissions. Instead of buying, we gave tips for photos, which delighted them. Overall, the experience was well-organized, exciting, and filled with authentic local touches. Highly recommended!
