Wasn’t a real ATV tour. ...
Wasn’t a real ATV tour. Spent most of the time on roads vs off-road. Lots of time stopping and waiting to head to next location.
Operator response
Please note that this is not an ATV tour. It is a buggy (UTV) excursion, which includes stops for photo opportunities and sightseeing along the route. As part of the experience, there are designated stops and regrouping points throughout the tour for the safety and comfort of all guests.

Not as Advertised
Not as advertised. Not a rain forest.
Route is a dry, dusty bumpy route lined with garbage. Beach was covered with stinky seaweed. We should have been informed of the conditions and given the option to cancel or transfer to a different excursion.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback Mr. Huffman. Please note that this is a 2-hour buggy tour located in the north of the island. We are currently in Saint Lucia’s dry season, which runs from December to May, and during this period the terrain can be dry and dusty.
The tour includes some off-roading sections which can be bumpy, along with several sightseeing stops along the route. However, this excursion is not advertised as a rainforest tour.
During the tour, no concerns or discomfort were brought to the guides’ attention. Had we been made aware, we would have certainly done our best to accommodate you, including arranging an early return to the resort if preferred.

Northern St Lucia buggy tour
It’s a wonderful way to see the northern pot of the island. You see bolt the beaches that you can’t see unless you know about them you see the upper Hollywood of St. Lucia. You also see Marjorie‘s restaurant where Amy Whitehouse used to hang out and is presently run by Marjorie son. There’s a lot of history there. We stopped for some spectacular views of the bay. The tour guide we had was very informative, personal and safety conscious..

Good, but with bad transfer
The buggy ride was very good.
What was bad was the transfer that arrived half an hour late and on the return went through our site without stopping, going first take others to a hotel and only on the return is that stopped, making us lose another half an hour of our scarce time in Castries.

We had a great time the tour guides always checked to see if we needed help and they made the drive fun and a memory you can't f
Was a great tour with even better guides and was a fun experience. Even for my first time it was easy to drive and the terrain is non stop turns and bumps but overall enjoyable

Just Okay
It was okay. Has some off road adventure and a couple nice stops but for the most part you're driving on the street. Driver that picked us up wasnt the friendliest but the tour guide "Snoop Dog" was great. He made the tour worth while. Very friendly and accommodating. A little pricey for the experience - it was just okay.

Wished it lasted longer
The guides were patient and generous with our group. They allowed us to take as many pictures as we wanted and they provided interesting information on the culture and the vibe of the island as a whole.
The buggies on the other hand. While easy to operate they definitely ride rough. So prepare your neck and your body for that matter to be jerked and pulled....the terrain is bumpy and quite rough.
Other than that I would do it again. Driving on the left I loved it. As they say on the island " there's the correct side and then the right side" .
If only there was a way to get a little shopping done in the "city".

What a Blast - A Must Do
What an absolute blast, Changoo and his team were brilliant. Right from the booking, great communication, transport was included and arrived on time. Changoo is so cool, friendly, funny and very professional. Best adventure tour in St Lucia, would highly recommend. We chose the northern sights tour, Changoo was very knowledgeable and informed us of some the history of St Lucia as we stopped to take in the beautiful views. Plenty of time to take photos, make memories and have loads of fun. Thank you Changoo and the team.Will be back to do the fly and drive.
