Anthony our guide was awesome and great at communicating while on the atvs to navigate the roads. We were nervous at first but he really made it a great experience and the stops were beautiful. We stopped for lunch at Orient Beach for a beer and delicious food, we stopped at another beach where we walked through shallow water to another island for beautiful pictures. Would highly recommend!

Shout out to our tour guides Prez and Andre!!! Both made sure we were all safe during the entire ride. Literally stopped traffic for us! They were very knowledgeable of the island and made this experience that much better! This was far more than just a ATV EXPERIENCE! From the walk to a small island, feeding the iguanas, exploring beaches and the rum punch at the end of the tour!! Definitely recommend this experience!

Let them know you are on a cruise!!!

Maya_E, Mar 2026
Getting to the location was easy and convenient. We arrived at 12:30 for the 1:00pm excursion. A group of about 8 people and a few others went and sat on the ATV's. Myself and about 12 others missed the 1pm excursion due to lack of them ensuring people with 1pm reservations who booked months prior went instead of the people who paid the same day. They offered me a refund...but the lady guide was able to accommodate me and my partner we went an hour later around 2pm. The guides were amazing and guided us swiftly through traffic. Beach time was cut short but overall a great experience. I recommend just be mindful you to let the guide know you are on a time limit with a cruise line. If your slot is taken by others they ask you to come the next day or refund. And the Jeeps don't work apparently.....which is strange because it's six jeeps. The clerk was not as accommodating as the guides. They need to let paid reservations have priority over same day.

Excellent ATV Excursion

10/10 Experience

chenay_f, Feb 2026
10/10 experience. definitely do it while in St. Maarten. the workers were very attentive and fun! got to do the Moses walk and went to another beach for food and fun!

A Great ATV Experience

Cheryl_E, Feb 2026
My first experience on a ATV tour and it was awesome! The tour guides were great! They were very helpful and safety conscientious! They made sure everyone in the group had an enjoyable time. We were able to see both the French and Dutch side of Sint Maarten! Hats off to Danny and Anthony for making this a great excursion. Seeing the beauty of the country and learning some of its history and the folklore was great! I highly recommend!

a little disappointing

Michael_D, Feb 2026
We did this tour because someone told me the guides were awesome. Unfortunately, we got a different guide. Also, we didn't really go everywhere we thought we would and wasn't 3 hours long. On a positive note, it was a nice perk that the tour ended on the beach and we received a rum punch, chair and umbrella and I gave 1 additional star for that.

Unscheduled lunch stop took 1/3 of tour

Nancy_S, Feb 2026
ATV tour is a fun idea mainly riding around the island. Fun riding on ATVs, guides were great, pretty scenery BUT we stopped someplace/at a beach and they said “get something to eat and drink” (on our own dime) and ended up there for 1hr 15min, more than 1/3 of the time of the tour. We already had lunch and had dinner plans so just waited around. I suspect that they are getting a kick back from the restaurant. Particularly annoying because in the description it says that lunch is not included and it is only after completing the ATV tour. So - wouldn’t recommend.

Worth the cost and such a fun experience!

From beginning to end, 5 stars, amazing experience Our guides queen P and Pres were kind, informative and really wanted to give everyone a special experience with a customized adventure based off of the group requests. If you were beginner or experienced they made sure you had everything you needed to know about the atvs and they managed those busy streets with so much ease Do yourself a favor and book this trip!!!

Carlo_I, Jan 2026
Generally a good trip but they failed to stop at 2 of the stops on the tour description, Mayo beach and french side capital. We did like the Moses walk.

Highly recommended ATV Tour

Kevin_B, Jan 2026
The ATV Tour was wonderful around the island. It was fun and Danny our guide kept us safe! We had all levels of drivers but the initial training helped us feel comfortable then Danny started slow for the inexperienced but by mid way we all were doing great and felt confident on the ATV's. Most of use did our own individual ATV and we had one double rider in our group. This was a fun, exciting and beautiful tour of the island

A Great Way to See the Island

Scott_M, Jan 2026
The ATV Tour was a great way to become acclimated with the island. Our tour guides, Anthony and Pete were excellent. The were focused on our safety throughout the tour, from learning how to operate the vehicle to ensuing we were safe on the road. The various tour stops were very good. We recommend this tour at the beginning of a stay at St. Maarten, the tour includes both the Dutch side and French side of the island.

Srikanth_G, Dec 2025
We had a very disappointing experience booking through Viator. The ATV guide was unprofessional and extremely rude. They pressured our group to upgrade and pay extra, and when we refused, they refused to accommodate us on the ATVs and forced us to pay additional money for a jeep instead. The tour itself was poorly run—it took place mostly on paved roads, and the guide provided no narration or context at any of the stops. We were simply driven from one point to another, told we had around 30 minutes, and then moved on. Overall, this was the worst tour experience we’ve ever had and a complete waste of money.

We are a group of 3...

gopi_T, Dec 2025
We are a group of 3 families. Our family has taken 4-person ATV given smaller kids while the other two took 2 2-person ATV. Upsold pointless 4-person ATV to my friends’ families too. They wouldn’t let them go on 2-person ones even though they have adults. They used “scare” tactics saying “you’re American and you guys only know how to drive a 4-person one. If you stick with 2-person, we will video the vehicle around and any small scratch you will pay $100s of dollars in repair”. The “tour” is also silly. They take you to 3 places with zero guidance and explanation. They let us be there 20-25min. You could easily do those with taxi and faster

Best atv experience on island

lj_l, Dec 2025
10/10 we had the best travel guides for the 1pm start. Highly recommend . Got the both sides of the island

Stephen_M, Dec 2025
It was a very pleasurable day. Our group was the right size and our 2 guides were very professional and quite knowledgeable. The beach stop was nice and the Moses walk was interesting. The final stop at the beach left us a little disappointed. Maybe just the time of day. Overall a good experience and would do it again.

Was great from start to...

THOMAS_B, Dec 2025
Was great from start to finish. The guides were friendly, courteous, and respectful to everyone and everything, up to, and including their island. The views along the ride are not to be believed. The stops they make are great, and, I won’t spoil the surprise but, where tour ends is the best part. 5 stars across the board. Simply put, YOU MUST, go on this tour. This is a must do.

Had a Blast Touring the Island Today!

Shane_W, Nov 2025
We just went on our ATV excursion yesterday and had a great time! What a blast driving around to see the island on a beautiful day! A big “shoutout” goes to our guide Danny! What a great time we had with him and because of him will go down as one of our more enjoyable excursions! Until we meet again!

Amazing!

Kimberly_L, Nov 2025
One of the best excursions I did. The tour guides were amazing!! Please bring water shoes with you as you will get your shoes wet.

A three hour tour - not Gilligan's Ilse

Dorothy_G, Nov 2025
Lovely ATV ride across the Dutch and French side of the island. Stopped at lookout overlooking Simpson Bay, stopped at a beach and walked to a small coral reef island, fed iguana's, orient bay beach for a cocktail and headed back. Kevin and Auntie B were extremely professional, ensuring our safety and enjoyment. We had a young group with us that were a bit disrespectful to our guides at the end of the tour. Please tip - they deserve it.

Great experience, Pres...

PierreLuc_D, Nov 2025
Great experience, Prez our guide was great and funny ! Would recommend to anyone visiting the island !

Quad runner

Daniel_D, Nov 2025
I got there 25 minutes ahead of time which was to leave at 1 pm the guide came out said we will leave in a few just waiting on a few more people. They showed up after 1 pm buy the time we left it was 1:45 we were back at 4:30 far from a 4 hour trip as they advertise it was fun just a heads up.
