It begins by riding along the west end coast line before heading up into the hills. We make a stop at an overlook that gives you fantastic views of the north shore. As we continue, we make our way to the top of Mt. Stewart where you get amazing vistas of the surrounding area. We visit plantation ruins from the early 1800's where you get time to explore and take photographs. From there we descend through the Sub-Tropical Rain Forest before ending the tour at a Rainbow Beach. « less

This was an awesome ride. It was just my husband and I on the tour. So, the guide let us spend more time on some things and talk about them....like the sugar cane mill. That was really interesting to hear about and walk around inside it. Then, we went on through the rain forest and to the top of the... More

My family and I (11 people, ages 9 - 73, all novice ATVers) spent a week in St. Croix in early April. We did many outings all over the island and I have to say this was absolutely my favorite excursion! From the very first phone call to set up the excursion, to the fabulous ride to the mountain top... More

We found this excursion through trip advisor and booked it before we arrived. We were on vacation with another couple. Our guide was the owner of the company and he was very knowledgeable about St. Croix and out ride was great. Most ATV rides are on roads as stevesp mentioned, but not this one. We really saw St. Croix and... More

we found this excursion online and not through our cruise ship. It was one of the best we did. we had a blast. The guide was very informative and gave lots of information about St. Croix. We rode the atv together and it was plenty big enough. At the end they dropped us off at the beach. It was fantastic. More

We did the atv adventure on April 8th, 2012. It was such a fun and different adventure than anything we have been on from the cruise ship excursions. In doing ATV tours in the past they tend to be on dirt roads and that is considered "off roading" not here, you will go up mountains on rocky and uneven paths,... More

We were a family of 3 so I rode by myself. I was a bit nervous at first but about 10 minutes into the ride I got the hang of the machine and really enjoyed the ride. This is a tour you should strongly consider. More

My husband and I took our two kids, ages 4 and 11, and all of us had a fantastic time. My 4 year old never stopped smiling. The views are amazing. Our guides were very friendly, informative, and patient (I'm not the fastest ATV rider). I would highly reccomend it and would go again. More

We were a group of ten ranging in age from 25 to 71. We had such a great time on this excursion! (we were in port for the day) For me, it was a little bit scary. But that's me. Everyone else thought it was just plain fun! We had two ATVs with two gals on each, and they operated... More

We are glad that you thought the tour was great fun and enjoyed it. We are not sure why you expected the tour to be longer. Our web site clearly states that the tour is 13 miles of riding and lasts 1 1/2 to 2 hours. More
