Summary:
This was our first trip to Antigua and we wanted to do something fun. There hadn't been much rain before our event, so we thought it might end up being a "dust buggy" experience. Everything worked well with the pre-booking, but due to lack of steady internet access we utilized guest services at our resort to assist us with the pick-up time confirmation. The transportation was on time and it took about 45 minutes to reach the location. Just after we arrived, the skies opened up and once the rain stopped we were ready to go. Putting safety first, we were fitted with helmets and given a presentation on dos and don'ts and strapped into a safety harness inside the buggy. The steering wheel is on the left side and the buggy is open to the elements, so wear closed toe shoes and clothes you won't mind getting muddy. Bring a waterproof fanny pack for any personal items as there is no place to store them. Sunglasses and a neck gaitor are necessary to keep dust and mud off your face! The steering wheel may be a little stiff at times, but a little muscle helps. The buggies are made for two people, a guide leads the group and another will follow behind. Your route will take you on backroads, through fields, to a beach and on regular roadways. Our ride was filled with laughter every time we got muddy and it was worth every penny! Our transport home was so accommodating, he even lined the seats with garbage bags so we wouldn't ruin the upholstery. I would recommend this tour for the friendliness of the staff and guides, their safety precautions and the route we took. Thanks again for a great time!

Summary:
We had had an amazing time. Our guides Made sure we all new what we were doing, we were safe, hydrated, and stayed together as a group. No buggy left behind. We had a great see St Mary's Parish, a little stop and dip at the beach, some dirt, but a lot of fun. Check them out for a fun tour when vacationing in Antigua! We enjoyed it!
