A
Thrilling experience
We did the side by side buggy 2 hour tour with Toby. Our group was small, but we preferred this as it was more personal and meant the experience was more thrilling. We made several stops along the tour and info was good at all of them. Opportunities were given to swap drivers too. The buggies are indestructible and quite powerful. Really fun experience! Would highly recommend

Awesome adventure
Awesome ride in the forests surrounding Whistler with an excellent guide Josh (the Londoner with Aussie accent). A definite must for thrill seekers !

Off-Road is and Understatement
These machines are built to take an absolute beating! Felt like we were able to drive them fairly hard for newbies. Fun experience. You WILL get dirty. They offered us raincoats to keep the dirt/dust off which we wished we had accepted. Other groups did and their jackets were much cleaner than ours.
Operator response
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you had a fun time out on the trails. Those machines are definitely built for adventure! Thanks for the great tip about the raincoats—we hope to see you back for another ride soon!

The best !!
We had an absolutely fantastic day side by side off-roading with Marley as our guide and she was sensational! She found some water for us to drive through, a stop for some amazing scenery photos and even a bear. We had an action packed day and loved every minute. Thanks to our driver Josh who did an awesome job too.
Operator response
Thank you so much, Sue! We’re thrilled to hear you had such an action-packed and memorable day SXS with Marley, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to both Marley and Josh. It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed every moment, and we hope to see you again for another adventure soon!
