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!!

our tour guide simpson was amazing, he was so helpful and it was such a great experience
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!
