The engine thumps to life and the Atlantic wind immediately rearranges the dust on the dirt track — you feel the island pushing back and inviting you farther west. On this half- or full-day ATV tour, riders move from sun-baked coastal scrub onto rocky seaside trails, through small caves and up to high viewpoints that pry open sweeping ocean vistas.
