The experience

You start at the buggy shop across from Sunscape Resort and spend the next 2.5 hours driving your own UTV, not riding along. The vehicle gets you to the far corners of the north side where regular cars stop. The first stretch takes you off-road across the sandy plains of St Joris for about 35 minutes, reaching the windmill park and the places the operator describes as unreachable by any other means.

The north shore is the payoff. Winds and currents create a water show of waves crashing against the cliffs. You'll walk through a hidden cave and see a natural bridge formation carved into the rock. The Geiser (a natural attraction the operator names specifically) sits on this exposed coastline. This is not a smooth drive: the terrain is rough, the landscape is sparse and cactus-dotted, and the wind is constant.

The return is a mix: you'll continue off-road for another stretch, then transition back onto paved road for the final 25 minutes to the shop. Goggles and bottled water are included. The tour runs at three fixed times each day, and you pick your group size at checkout: options range from a single buggy for one or two people up to seven buggies for a group of 13 or 14. A live guide leads the route and can speak English, Spanish or Dutch.

What's included and what should I bring?

Goggles and bottled water are included. The tour is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnant travelers or those with poor cardiovascular health. You should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness for the rough terrain and driving.
