In a word, amazing! Chicho was our guide. He provided detailed instructions and then we were off on our adventure. We went over a tropical mountain terrain first. Then onto farmland. Next desert. The icing on the cake was the beach. We were the only people everywhere he took us. Spectacular beauty! A very special treat was a stop at the private residence of a local farmer. We were greeted with an array of tropical fruits and fresh coconuts from their farm, opened for us to enjoy the coconut water. We would highly recommend this experience!

This trip had so much potential to be amazing. The views on the beach were great. The staff were polite but the equipment really let us down. There were two of us on the trip and we had two separate engine failures (one catastrophic) in 2hrs resulting in the tour being interrupted and cut a bit short. The ATVs look brand new but have been poorly maintained by the dealership. The first engine failed about 30 min into the ride and we found piles of sand and dirt in the carburetor when it was supposed to have had the air filter changed the day prior. The second failure was more dramatic. I felt something that I thought was a rock hit my leg while riding and then it dot really hot. When I stopped I saw that a chunk of the engine had departed and my left leg was covered in oil (also ruining a pair of shoes). The ATVs were also pretty underpowered for the soft sand we were in and working hard so I suspect that didn’t help. It could be so much better if they had chosen larger 4WD machines rather than the 280cc Chinese value brand
