ATV Tour

Make sure you have sturdy (athletic) shoes. It’s not a good idea to do this tour in flip-flops or Crocs (or similar footwear). Wear comfortable clothing.
Keep in mind that you’ll be riding out in the open sun for about 3 hours, so make sure you have good sun protection: bring sunscreen, preferably wear long pants to prevent sunburn on your legs, and consider wearing a UV-protective shirt or something similar.
Keep in mind that accessories (e.g., a cap) can easily blow off while you’re riding.
Tip: Put on your swimsuit under your regular clothes beforehand.

Every driver must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid driver’s license. You must also be able to show your original driver’s license at check-in to be allowed to drive yourself; a copy will not be accepted.
Participants must not be pregnant and must not have any physical problems with their back, neck, hips, or other physical ailments that could potentially be aggravated by driving on off-road terrain.
Bringing the kids?
We do not consider the ATV tour suitable for carrying children (17 years old or younger) as passengers. If you still wish to do so: children must be at least 12 years old, and the parent or guardian must clearly understand (and sign a waiver stating) that it is entire risk lies with the parent or guardian, and that neither the tour operator nor NaarCuracao can be held liable in any way or under any circumstances for accidents involving participants aged 17 or younger.
Every participant is required to wear a helmet.

Of course, this tour is entirely at your own risk; you’ll also need to sign a waiver when you check in. The tour is completely safe as long as you follow the crew’s instructions. Keep in mind that your clothes and shoes may get dirty and may not be able to be washed clean. There is a lockable storage compartment in the back of the quad for a small bag with your belongings.

You’ll pay a deposit when you make your reservation. You’ll receive a payment request for the remaining balance, which must be paid no later than 48 hours in advance. If you book within 24 hours of the tour, the payment link will be sent to you as soon as possible and must be paid immediately.
There is no payment option available when checking in for this quad tour.

The ATV tour is available 7 days a week, twice a day. The morning tour runs from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., and the afternoon tour runs from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Have you booked the ATV tour but want to change or cancel your reservation? You can do so up to 48 hours in advance; however, if you wish to change your reservation, we are, of course, subject to availability on the new date you’ve chosen.
If you cancel within 48 hours of the tour, no refund will be issued.

You have a quad and a buggy—what’s the difference? And then there’s also an ATV or UTV?
A quad and an ATV (All-Terrain Vehicle) are the same thing. In some countries, the term “quad” is mainly used, while in others, “ATV” is used. These are the vehicles you sit on top of.
A buggy and a UTV (Utility Task Vehicle) are the same thing. These are the vehicles you sit inside, with a door on the side and a frame (with or without a roof) over your head.
So the trip on this page is a quad/ATV tour. If you’d prefer a buggy tour (UTV tour), check here.

No, this tour is not suitable for children. We recommend it for ages 18 and up, but if you really want to, children as young as 12 may participate. However, it must be made very clear that you, as a parent or guardian, are fully responsible for any and all consequences the child may face during or as a result of the ATV tour.

Yes, if you want to drive a quad bike yourself, you must be able to show a driver’s license when you check in.

Wear comfortable but slightly worn clothing—clothes that can get dirty and might not come out completely clean in the washing machine. This is especially true for the West Tour, when you’re riding across the Hato Plains. The brown/red soil that gets on you in the form of dust and mud is very difficult to wash out of your clothes.
Also keep in mind that you’ll be sitting in direct sunlight the whole time on the quad, so a UV-protective shirt, for example, is no luxury.

Please wear closed-toe shoes. Flip-flops, sandals, Crocs, or women’s high-heeled shoes are not permitted for safety reasons when riding the ATV.

You’ll be provided with a helmet and goggles. You’ll also receive a balaclava to protect your head and face from dust.

While riding, it is strictly prohibited for both the driver and the passenger in the back to take photos or videos with a phone or camera. This is for your own safety, as well as because there is a high risk that the phone or camera will slip out of your hands, fall to the ground and break, or be run over by the ATV behind you. If you do happen to be holding your phone or camera while riding, you do so entirely at your own risk (for yourself, the passenger, and the device).
The tour guide will stop the tour a few times so you can take some nice photos or videos.

Yes, the ATV tour will go ahead even in bad weather (cloudy, rain, strong winds). If the weather becomes extremely dangerous (thunderstorms, severe storms), the tour operator will contact you to discuss an alternative.
If you decide not to participate due to inclement weather, you will not receive a refund and will still be required to pay the full amount.
