About this experience
This is a truly Antiguan activity that gives you a view of the island from an angle no other excursion would. We are described by most as an off road rollercoaster ride through the back lands of villages and towns then to our secluded beach for a dip before we excite you again.
All adventurers need to be prepared! Ensure you have a valid drivers license if you wish to drive. Comfort is key, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes and clothing suitable for an island adventure. Our trained guides are here to ensure your safety and enjoyment, catering to all your needs throughout the tour.
