We had an awesome day touring Aruba. We happened to get lucky and we were the only ones doing the tour, which gave us the opportunity to modify it to our liking. If you can, be sure to ask for John B. Excellent guide and very informative about the island and its history and natural features. I can’t recommend this tour enough. The UTV’s we used were in great shape and handled the terrain well.

A great experience with beautiful views of the island!

So much fun! My husband drove the UTV as our guide led us on a great ride around the island with amazing views! Our guide shared interesting information and history about Aruba at each stop.

Next Level Excitement!

James_C, Jan 2026
I’m going to give you the full rundown, good and bad. Let me start with, this excursion is 100% worth doing!!!!!! There were some hiccups with getting picked up on time, we were picked up right outside the cruise port gate 40 mins late. Then we had to drive to the far side of the island to pick up a hotel guest. Your Cruise Ship Pickip Location is directly in front of Ocean Drive Store, you will be looking at people waiting for the free trolly across the street. There will be no one there waiting for you when you get through the port gate, which caused me some anxiety if we were in the right place. They eventually showed up in a white van. *****My issue, not the vendor!!!!! Make sure you check your embarkation time before booking this excursion! We booked the afternoon and it barely got us back before our scheduled boarding time. They graciously cut our excursion time to get us back in time. Again, my issue, not theirs…they were extremely accommodating. Book the 9am when the book first docks….4 1/2 hours of fun! The excursion!!!!!! Badass!!!! John B was our guide, highly recommend! He was informative at the stops ad he kept an amazing pace that allowed us to see what these UTV’s can do. He took pictures of us an kept a great attitude the whole time. Feel confident that you are booking with a professional, safe company!

A Must Do!

The BEST UTV excursion.

Marc_S, Aug 2025
The best UTV tour ever!! Leroy was an amazing tour guide and we had a blast. Leroy made sure that we had great pictures at each stop. Super fun experience.

Extreme fun!

Keisha_R, Jul 2025
My kids and I had an amazing time with this company doing the Utv's. It was extreme fun and I had an adrenaline rush the whole time. You make stops at popular locations that presents a history lesson behind each stop. Our tour guides were simply dope and made sure we all were good during the entire tour. It last quite a few hours so ve sure to stay hydrated and wear face mask or goggles bc you will be flying through alot of dirt, dust, and rocks. It was amazing

Top Shelf Experience With AGW Tours

JAMES_B, Jul 2025
AGW Tours did not disappoint. Our personal guide John B made our experience an unforgettable one. He has a lot of passion for his home island. His knowledge of the island and the history of the Arubian Culture was very informational. He definitely added value to our tour. He let us go at our own pace during our stops to take it all in. 4 Hrs may seem long but it was the perfect amount of time to ride off and on the road to several different historical locations and to see the island coast. Also with stops to take in the beautiful views of the water and shore. The ATVs are new and have plenty of power and were very fun to drive. My wife was reluctant to drive at first but had ball once she did. This is a must book for your trip to Aruba. We will be back to This Happy Island and AGW!!

If you like something a little rugged, this is it.

Rough Riding

Adrienne_W, Jun 2025
Amazing experience! We were rough riding on this day. The force of nature with rain was against us, but our wonderful guide persevered on. We had a great experience riding the UTV’s. Our guide that day was just wonderful.

Awesome

Hilbert_M, Jun 2025
This was an adventure of a lifetime. The different spots were breathtaking. The scenic route to the California lighthouse was like something out of this world.

10/10 Experience

Kerri_B, Jun 2025
This trip was an excellent way to explore the island! Lots to see and lots of really cool hidden gems I wouldn’t have known about without going on this tour! We had John B and he was so informative and fun! He made our first trip to Aruba very memorable! Thank you John B!! You’re the best!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thanks for the love. We are so happy John B made your first Aruba adventure unforgettable.

The tour was awesome. The guide took his time, told us about the nature along the way and we got to see quite a bit.

An adventure awaits

Timothy_W, Jan 2025
Trail guide Robert was awesome, his knowledge bad of the History of the area was on-point and he is the master of Bovine Excrement (B.S. lol, take the tour, inside joke that you will understand later). Great 4 hr. Experience

Leroy was a tremendous...

Keith_S, Feb 2024
Leroy was a tremendous guide. Very friendly and informative. There were only two of us on the tour and we got a lot of personal attention.

Bad equipment

carolyn_T, Jan 2024
Our guide Milton was very good. However the UTV vehicle was really bad. It was falling apart. It died once and we had to wait 20 minutes. The second time it died altogether and we had to wait for the company bus. We feel like we should get a 50% refund as we were only able to go half the speed of anyone else.

Best Birthday ever!

Crystel_N, Jan 2024
Absolutely amazing!! We had the best time. What a beautiful island Aruba is. We saw the entire North shore, would love to do it again tomorrow!!

Get reliable vehicles

Judy_K, Dec 2023
Please note our tour guide was fantastic. The UTV’s were not. Our oil light was on for most of the trip and to get it into gear you had the rock the UTV to get it to click into place. The tour guides UTV broke down at the end of the tour and we had to pull onto a sidewalk to wait for help. It made us late for dinner. A partial refund would be nice.

The only company I use

Meghan_D, Dec 2023
Every time I cruise to Aruba I use AGW Tours! I always recommend them to friends and family as well. This excursion was our favorite! We were the only ones on this tour! I book with them because I like the more personable tours, never had we have more than 20 in a group during other tours they provide. Aruba is safe to book third party from cruise lines - just do it! Ask for Milton, great guy!

Awesome

Byron_B, Oct 2023
Tour guide was awesome. A lot of energy. Took us to some great spots. Bring your glasses and face covering. Thanks Kyler

North Coast tours are a ton of fun.

Toni_N, Sep 2023
Visiting the historical monuments was extremely informative. Getting to the sites was a lot of fun on the utes.

Awesome

Claire_L, Jul 2023
My husband and I had the tour guide to ourselves and had an awesome time! Very courteous, accommodating and knowledgeable!

A must do tour when in Aruba!

Mary_M, Jul 2023
This is such an exciting tour. Our guide, Skyler, was awesome, so very knowledgeable about the history of the island and made it entertaining for our teenagers who had a blast! Don’t leave Aruba without doing this tour and definitely ask for Skyler to be your guide.

Don’t Book This UTV Excursion

Shellnice_H, Jun 2023
Driver was late for pickup & when we called no response. Arrived in a bus with no AC. One of the guest got sick. When we went on the UTV it broke down the 1st time within 5 mins.it continued to break down about 7 times. The tour guide had to keep asking the guest to get out and lift the seat so he could jump the engine. Using a plastic bottle to make contact with the live wires. The doors kept flying open during the excursion. Rusted seatbelts. The engine overheated and the UTV started smoking because the radiator cap came off and my husband and his cousin had to show the guide how to fix it. Using the bottled water given to the guest at the beginning of the trip. Since we were on the other side of the island in the middle of a tour no cabs in site we continued. Shortly after continuing The transmission gave out in a cloud of smoke and smelled like an engine fire so we evacuated the UTV. We were stranded on the side of a road for 1 hour waiting for another bus. Of course we didn’t get to finish the tour or see the sites promised. I have requested a full refund. This is the worst excursion I have ever been on. The tour guide was awesome and tried his best but what can he do when the equipment is a SAFETY HAZARD!! And ruined the experience for everyone else on the excursion since the guide was alone and couldn’t leave us the 7 times the UTV broke down we continue with the other guest. Also when we were picked up we were told the office was closed and we could not speak to management about a refund. Which means they closed the office before ensuring the safety of the customers. Extremely Poor Customer Service.

We had a wonderful time!

Jessica_S, Jun 2023
This was so much fun! We went all over Aruba and saw some spectacular places! We did experience some mechanical issues with our side by side, but they called their mechanic and has another one brought out right away so it was not an issue at all. Highly recommend this excursion! When you get off the cruise ship you need to walk down the long walk way that is gated off and look for them in town. They are not waiting under the white tents like a local told us. Lol luckily we found our way and had a great day!

Fun, Fun, Fun

Daniel_R, Jun 2023
The off-roading. The whole excursion was great. We all laughed and yelled and had a great time. Skylar, our guide was terrific and I highly recommend him.

We loved the UTV tour!

Lindsay_A, May 2023
We had a great time on the Island UTV tour. Robert was a great tour guide. Perfect for adults and kids! Highly recommend!!

So thankful we did this!

Susan_B, May 2023
Our tour guide was awesome!! He went out of his way to make sure everyone of us was taken care of. It is a bumpy ride, so expect that in advance.

Vehicles unsafe

Kevin_G, May 2023
Our tour guide was wonderful however your vehicles are junk and unsafe! We had no signal lights, no horn, no brakes, seat belts were broke and so were the mirrors. The other couples vehicle broke on the way back and we had to give them a ride back. Your vehicles are not safe!

At your own risk.

Randy_S, May 2023
You know it's gonna be a sketchy trip when you and your wife are the only group part of the tour, the guide uses a mirror he has to hold up with his hand to make sure you are still behind him, and the tires are bald, but expected to drive over rough trails with huge rocks everywhere. I thought I should maybe lower my expectations on the crappy equipment, then came across 2 other UTV tours with quality UTVs. Needless to say things were held up with the tour because the tour guide ended up with a flat tire. Choose another company for your UTV tour.
