Select participants and date
You kick the throttle and the Caribbean rearranges its rhythm — wind takes on a voice, salt stings your cheeks, and the limestone coast unfurls like a map of weathered lines. The trail begins at G-ATV Tours beside Vesta's football stadium; within minutes you leave tar behind and are riding into a sprawl of scrub, wind turbines, and beaches that have long ignored the tourist timetable.

Adventure Tips
Bring a valid driver’s license
A normal car driver’s license is required to operate the ATV — guides will check before departure.

Sun and hydration
The west coast is exposed; carry sunscreen and use included water during stops to avoid heat fatigue.
Respect wildlife and nesting sites
Keep your distance from flamingos and turtles; do not feed or chase animals and follow guide instructions.
