Great tour, and then some! - Our ship was over an hour late arriving in port and we had no internet to communicate until we arrived. We hustled to the meeting point and there sat Taz still waiting for us in the rain. He told us that the others in the tour had already left but he would be more than happy to drive us on our tour and hit all the highlights.
What a tour! We did the complete island tour and didn’t miss a thing. He definitely went out of his way to see it all and tell us all about the island. We could not have been happier with the tour! If you get a chance to book a tour request Taz, he will not disappoint. We would do this again in a heartbeat!

AWESOME EXPERIENCE - Awesome tour!!
10/10
I wish I could remember my tour guides name as he was spectacular
We took the 6 hour tour and even though we were super tired it was worth it
We were shown the Dutch and French side of the island, we got to go to several beaches including Maho beach (which my husband was dying to go to)
If you’re thinking about booking, don’t think twice!!!

The highlight of our trip! - This ATV tour was our favorite thing we did on our trip to St. Martin. The tour guide picked us up at our resort and drove us to their location where they keep the ATVs. We felt safe the whole time and the ATVs were in good condition — my fiancé and I did a double.
Our tour guide was Taz and he was great! He took photos of us, always filled us in on each stop, showed us different vantage points (including showing us where we came from so we could connect the dots of where we traveled on the island), and was helpful. We had never driven ATVs before and he was accommodating in making sure we were comfortable before picking up speed.
This is an amazing way to see the island. Our tour traveled both on and off road, covering the entire island — both the Dutch and French sides. The stops were all beautiful. I'm so glad we did this!

So much Fun! - We have ranked this as one of our top things we did with the family! Our kids 6 and 12 had such a great time. Taz took us on a great adventure showing us all the the must see beaches and landmarks, he was very knowledgeable of the history and local life on st. Maarten. Taz drove the 4 of us around which we found to be so much better so we could look at everything. I would highly recommend doing this atv tour if you want to see the island!

Interesting, but could have easily been much better - So first off, I like to say that this wasn't a bad tour. Our guide was a fun guy, as well. We did get to see most of the island as well. But a few things could have been done to make this a much better tour. Especially for the price that we paid, $450 you expect a few things.
The good:
- Got to see most of the island.
- Our guide was a really nice guy.
- The vehicles, while quite old, were comfortable enough and seemed mostly reliable. But 99% of the tour was on paved roads, if we were going to stay on paved roads the entire time, we would've rented Jeeps. We were expecting at least some offroad areas, and really had none, just a few bumpy areas to beach parking.
The things that can be improved:
- This was supposed to be a "guided tour". We were in a convoy with one other family, whose boogie was driven by the tour guide. That's fine, we had no problem driving our boogie behind. But considering that literally 95% of the tour was just following him around the island, we got nothing in terms of "guided". All they had to do was buy a couple cheap walkie talkies, and he could explain to the entire convoy. There were times where we would slow or even stop, and we can see him pointing to something. But we had no idea what it was, what the significance was. Is it so hard to spend $60 and buy a couple walkie-talkies so everyone can hear?
- While it was great that we got to see most of the island, we really didn't get a feel for the island. "Hey, this is so and so beach." Then drive 20 minutes in traffic. "This is another beach." OK, cool. Drive another 25 minutes in traffic. "Oh look, this is yet another beach that looks just like the other two generic beaches." We're on a guided driving tour. We don't need to see every single beach. Show us some history, some cool places, cool neighborhoods.
- The restaurant we ended up going to for lunch was... questionable, at best. The food was ok, but it was a very dirty place. The one other bar we went to at one of the beaches, was scary just walking in to wash your hands. I'm sure in all of the island, there are at least a few halfway decent establishments where the bathrooms don't look like something out of a horror movie. We're paying for the food and drinks in addition, anyway. Can't we go to a nicer place?
Overall, the experience was... OK. I like the concept, but for $450, I didn't want to just sit behind an older and very loud boogie, on public roads, in traffic most of the time. At one point, we're literally sitting in crazy bumper to bumper traffic, in 95 degree heat with 90% humidity, no air conditioning, for 45 minutes just to go down a single street. And with no context, no history, no funny tidbits that only locals know.
I expected much better. I'll give 3 stars simply because our tour guide was nice, in the few minutes that we got to talk to him. But I would definitely not do a tour like this again.
