Step-by-step itinerary

Jungle ATV ride and animal sanctuary visit

• Interact with monkeys and sloths
• Enjoy jungle ATV ride
• Relax at the beach

The experience

You're dropped off with an ATV and a guide who rides alongside you through the jungle trails of the Bay Islands. This is not a sightseeing tour where someone else drives. You control the machine the whole way, navigating the terrain at your own pace. The guide handles the route and keeps you safe, but the riding is yours. Most riders spend the morning working through the jungle, then break for the beach to cool off and relax before the final leg back.

The tour includes a stop at a local animal sanctuary where you interact directly with monkeys and sloths, take photos, and get a real sense of the wildlife. A local drink (water, beer, or a fruit drink of your choice) comes with the package. Because this is a private tour, you can customize the timing and intensity. The operator guarantees you'll be back at your ship or hotel at least two hours before departure, and can arrange an earlier return if you need it.

Pickup is included from your hotel or cruise port. The guide speaks English or Spanish. Children from age 6 are welcome, and the tour suits all fitness levels, though it's not recommended if you're pregnant or have cardiovascular concerns. Bring water, wear closed shoes, and expect to get dusty.
