The experience

Can you ride an ATV with no experience? Yes, the course starts at the Banana plantation practice track, where you get 10 minutes of tuition before the 28km trail itself. The guide leads the group through the off-road course, breaking twice for water and photos so you can catch your breath and take in the countryside. Riders choose between a 520cc quad bike or a CF Moto buggy, and the pace adjusts to the group's skill level, so nobody gets left behind and nobody gets rushed.

The morning trip departs at 10am and wraps by 1pm. The afternoon slot runs 2.30pm to 5.30pm. Hotel pickup and drop-off by air-conditioned minivan happens on request. Just give the operator your hotel name and phone number when you book. You'll be fitted with an MX shirt, helmet, gloves and goggles before you start, and showers and changing rooms are available afterward if you want to freshen up before heading back.

Lunch arrives after the ride: a choice of deluxe beef, chicken or vegetarian burgers with french fries and mixed salad, plus soft drinks and fresh fruit platters. If you're riding solo, you can book an ATV rider spot. If you want a passenger along, several options pair a rider with a passenger seat, or you can book a four-seater buggy for the group. Souvenir video of the ride is available to purchase at checkout if you want footage of yourself on the trail.

Top questions

What's the difference between the ATV and the buggy on this ride?

The ATV is a 520cc quad bike you ride solo or with a passenger in a seat behind you. The CF Moto buggy is a four-seater kart where multiple people sit side by side. Both follow the same 28km trail and include the same guide, safety briefing and lunch.

Do I need to have ridden an ATV before to book this?

No. The Beginner ATV riding experience is designed for first-time riders. You get 10 minutes of driving tuition at the practice track before the main 28km course, and the guide adjusts the pace to match the group's skill level.

How long is the whole experience from pickup to drop-off?

The morning trip runs from 10am to 1pm, with hotel pickup at 9–9.30am and drop-off around 1.30–2pm. The afternoon slot runs 2.30pm to 5.30pm, with pickup at 1.30–2pm and drop-off around 6–6.30pm.

What's included in the price besides the ride itself?

The ride includes a professional English-speaking guide, all safety gear (MX shirt, helmet, gloves, goggles), a 10-minute safety briefing, tuition at the practice track, hotel pickup and drop-off, lunch (beef, chicken or vegetarian burger with fries and salad), soft drinks and fresh fruit platters, plus access to showers and changing rooms after the ride.

Can children do this ATV riding experience?

Children aged 15 and up can ride, but must be accompanied by an adult. The experience is designed for families and groups, and the guide adjusts the pace so younger and older riders stay together safely.

What happens if I'm late for my pickup time?

Refunds are not issued if the activity is missed due to late or non-arrival for the tour. Make sure to be ready at your hotel at the scheduled pickup time, or contact the operator as soon as possible if you're running behind.
