Private pickup from Amber Cove or Taíno Bay cruise terminals. Driver will meet you at the agreed pickup point with identification and confirm guests before departure to the ATV meeting point.
Tips from local experts:
- Have your cruise ship name and booking voucher or mobile voucher ready to show the driver at pickup.

Quick check-in, helmet fitting, and safety briefing. Operators will assign ATVs (single or double) and explain basic controls and local trail rules.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a valid photo ID for check-in and to verify your booking.
- Ask for a quick demonstration if you're unfamiliar with ATV controls—staff will cover throttle, brakes, and safety signals.
- Keep sunglasses or goggles handy to protect eyes from dust; staff provide helmets but not goggles in all cases.

Guided off-road ATV ride across mountain tracks with panoramic views and a short seaside run. Route combines dirt trails and coastline access; pace adjusted for group comfort and safety.
Tips from local experts:
- Secure loose items and use a small dry bag for phones or cameras—the trail can be dusty and bumpy.

A brief stop at a nearby beach for photos, to cool down, and to enjoy the coastal scenery before the return transfer.
Tips from local experts:
- If you want to enter the water, wear swimwear under your clothes and bring a quick-dry towel; the stop is brief.
- Watch for uneven sand and wet rocks when walking near the shoreline—use footwear with good grip.
- Keep valuables in a secure bag or leave them on the transfer vehicle; the stop is short and unsupervised.
