Luis was awesome! He met us and set up our GPS on our phone, gave us suggested place to go, and said if we needed anything at all just call. The UTV was in great shape with new tires and everything working. We would rent from him again. So much fun!

Awesome experience! Rachel was communicative and explicit with rules and boundaries of the ATV. She was light-hearted and fun and she even suggested routes we should take to maximize our experience. The ATV performed well, even in questionable terrain. 10/10

The owners were very courteous, and informative. They bookmarked on a map many places we could choose to visit, restaurants, etc to eat and relax. The UTV we had Bluetooth capabilities, 12 volt and usb ports to charge our phones, and was very nice to drive. It was a great way to experience the island at our leisure, as well as do a little off reading. I highly recommend this experience and this company!

UTV Rental From A Cruise Ship

Kimberly_S, Jul 2026
I am writing this review from our cruise ship experience via the Carnival Horizon concerning our rental of a 2 person UTV. -The meeting point was at the Citgo gas station which is very close to the cruise ship terminal. The gas station is used by many different providers for UTV's, cars and other excursions along with the in and out traffic from a normal day at a gas station. - With several different groups using this parking lot for pickup and drop off it would be nice to see a sign or something that lets you know the name of the business you are dealing with as I had no clue which provider was the one we had rented from and this was the same for 2 other couples that I found who where trying to find the same provider for UTV's who were wondering through the Citgo parking lot asking others if they were the provider of the UTV's for that day. - The pickup spot was actually a street over from the Citgo and this was only discovered after one of the couples said they were going to go across the street and see about a single UTV that was parked. -The owner is very knowledgeable of Aruba and will help you chart out your trip relating to your timeframe and main points of interest.

Thank you for your review, will take you recommendations to see how we can make it more visibel for our customer for future rentals at the cruise port. Unfortunatly we are not allowed to have any signs. We do recommend our customers to always have a phone on(Not on our airplane mode) or have a plan that can work on the island and is able to recieve phone calls or receive messages with us in case of emergency or if you cannot find us. For future cruise ship customers we will have uniform with large road runner logo on it. And our meeting point is in front of the clean wheels car wash next to the Citgo Gas station that is a 5 minutes walk from the cruise port exite.

Explore your own way.

Nice to go when and where you want without a group to follow or wait on. The utv does not have a windshield and it does get windy so bring a scarf or bandana for hair became it will get tangled. The utv was waiting for us on the other side of the cruise port exit and ended at the gas station there as well.

Island exploration at your own pace!

Christine_W, May 2026
Had a fabulous time seeing the island during this experience. Company was very friendly and communicative during entire experience. We knew exactly where to meet; how to manage vehicle; and places to visit based on stellar instructions from the operators. The app they recommended was excellent at helping us get around with no problems whatsoever. If you want to explore at your own pace and at your own discretion - this is the experience for you. Wear sunscreen though and be prepared for some wind!

Driving around in a Fun Vechile!

Joe_V, May 2026
Super easy drop off at our hotel and return pickup of the UTV. Had Fun exploring the Island at our pace. Fun driving both off-road and on the streets.

Awesome experience

Book it. Don't worry, you wont regret it!! 10/10!

Jake_O, Apr 2026
This rental was amazing! Very close to cruise port. Wonderful communication. Recommend pre saving way points in the map app as suggested. Eat at Kaminis Kitchen! Will say the trail between the ruins and the chapel is definitely rocky! We thought we were so close on time, we cut back on the road from the chapel to Alto Vista, then the trip up to the California lighthouse is very quick... And it really only takes about 15 min to get back to the cruise port /citgo from the lighthouse! Wonderful experience. 10/10!!

UTV fun

ATV Self-guided Island Tour

Connie_G, Mar 2026
This was a fun way to explore the island. I was not aware that the ATV did not have a windshield. I hadn't thought about that, even when we were told it would be windy and dusty. I do wish I would have purchased the bandana for $5. I also think that we should have been told that the Ostrich Farm has a fee...$17.00 for Adults and $10 for children. This was not mentioned. The Alto Vista Chapel was hard to find...we saw one sign, which took us to a wrong place. It was fun to see the country side and the way the locals live. It would have been fun to see the Aloe Vera Farm. The ATV was very nice and comfortable. Overall, we were glad we did the self-guided tour.

Book this excursion!!

Russ_F, Mar 2026
Without a doubt, this is definitely the best way to see the island!! Do not hesitate to book!! The app leads the way.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank for your review, And we are Glad you had a great way exploring Aruba with us. See you next time.

Great way to see real Aruba

Roy_Z, Mar 2026
It was great to see the real side of Aruba. While it was a long drive to our first stop, but understand it was scheduled that way to prevent traveling in heavy traffic

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for reviewing us. Yes we always recommend starting to the other side to avoid traffic. At the end of the day it can get a bit busier and can caused for you to be late. Hope to see you next time.

Great time driving around...

Brian_A, Mar 2026
Great time driving around the island at our own pace. Operator provided a recommended tour and stops with an app that provided driving directions. Great day!

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Thank you for Your review. We are glad you had a Great Day. Hope to see you next time when visiting Aruba🇦🇼

Best day!!

Kim_S, Feb 2026
10 out of 10 totally recommend!! Don’t even think about it just do it!! We booked this and I was a little hesitant at first not going to lie, but it was the best!! Delivery was super easy and they went over all the details helped us with the map app and made me feel completely comfortable. We hit the whole island! Great thing about doing it yourself you can go where you want and stay as long as you want. We snorkeled for a bit at Mangel Halto and it was cool! Went to natural bridge and baby beach, don’t skip the point past baby beach where the light box is, totally worth it!!

Response from Host, Feb 2026

Thank you so much Kim, for taking the time to review us. We are glad you had a great time exploring with us. And hoped to see you soon back when visiting Aruba🇦🇼

Super to be able to explore on our own. But it makes for a long day with traffic and trying to see all the sights. Staff was was helpful. Getting gas was a pain (different process than the states).
