The experience

You start on the trails near Flamingo Beach Road with a semi-automatic ATV: easy to handle whether you're a beginner or experienced rider. The guide leads you through forest and up and down mountain passes, stopping at viewpoints that overlook Flamingo Bay and the coastline. Along the way you'll pass through different terrain and have a real chance to see monkeys and other wildlife in their habitat, not in a zoo or a sanctuary. The pace lets you take in the surroundings without rushing through the ride.

The route reaches up to seven different beaches, and you get to choose which ones to stop at. Some stops are just to look and take photos. Others are long enough to jump in the water and swim. The beaches on this ride are quieter than the main tourist spots. You're not fighting crowds or vendors. Snorkeling is available at an additional cost if you want to spend more time in the water at a particular beach.

A bilingual guide rides with you and handles the route, so you don't need to navigate. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, which means no arranging your own transport to the trailhead. Bring swimwear, secure shoes that can handle getting wet, sunscreen, sunglasses, and a camera. The ride is open to young and older riders: children from age five can ride as passengers, and kids aged eight and up are welcome on the activity. If you're 16 or older with a valid driver's license, you can operate your own ATV. Younger riders ride as passengers.
