The Experience

You'll ride a top-of-the-line ATV through terrain that pulls you off the main roads and into parts of eastern Curaçao most visitors don't reach. The route mixes off-road sections with views of the coast and the Caribbean, and you'll have chances to stop and swim. Light refreshments are included, so you're not managing hunger between stops. Bring your driver's license—it's required to operate the quad—and plan to arrive 30 minutes before the start time.

Two departure times run daily: 9:00 AM and 2:00 PM. You can ride a single ATV on your own or share a double ATV with a passenger. If you're staying on a cruise ship, you'll need to provide your ship name, docking time, disembarkation time and re-boarding time at booking; the tour won't refund if your ship runs late and you miss the departure. A guide in your language leads the ride and handles the route.

Wear long pants and long sleeves, bring sunscreen and sunglasses, and expect dust and heat. The activity suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended for anyone with spinal injuries. Children must ride with an adult on the same ATV. Hotel or port pickup and drop-off can be arranged for an additional fee at checkout.
