Your experience
Stop 1
Meet your guide at the assigned meeting point, receive a brief safety overview, and take the wheel of the Jeep or buggy selected when booking. Follow the caravan across the island and along scenic coastal roads, where turquoise water, rocky shoreline, and the untamed east side replace the busy streets of downtown. Here, the drive isn’t simply transportation—it’s part of the adventure.
Stop 2
Trade the road for the Caribbean at a laid-back beachfront venue. Swim in the clear water, relax by the shore, or join your guide for a shore-snorkeling experience among coral formations and tropical fish. Back on land, enjoy lunch overlooking the sea with your choice of chicken fajitas, fish tacos, or cheese quesadillas. Drinks, snacks, lockers, and towels are available at your own expense.
Stop 3
