Once we got our ATVs we had fun and they worked well. However, we had to wait on the beach in the hot sun for 2.5 hours before they gave us our quads. Staff were super unorganized and they were serving people who arrived after us even though we had been waiting for hours. I recommend using another company such as Steve's ATV rental or BJs. Same location but probably won't make you wait for hours to get your ATVs.

Seriously. Top notch service. Great team, from the check in crew, to the shuttle bus, to the gent that got us oriented to our rig. Maps and directions and routes were clearly explained and the course was all very well marked, on the mile marker front, the restrooms are all numbered well. The ‘danger zones’ are all well mapped, although we manage to find them. And when we DID get stuck (dummies…), we received prompt assistance and we were back on our way. Equipment was kick-ass!

Wow, thanks for sharing such a detailed and positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a top-notch experience from start to finish. It sounds like our team really knocked it out of the park, from the friendly check-in crew, to the efficient shuttle service, to the helpful orientation staff. We put a lot of effort into providing clear directions and well-marked courses, so it's fantastic to know that you found it easy to navigate the dunes. We're also glad that our rescue team was able to get you back on track quickly when you got stuck. We take pride in our responsive service and top-quality equipment, so it's great to know that you were impressed. Thanks again for choosing Sun Buggy for your adventure! We hope to see you again soon for another epic ride.

We used Viator to book the experience and had a great time. The only complaint was that it was supposed to come with a t-shirt and we didn’t get that.
