“What a great time! Everything started with the ride from the port to the meeting point with Elvis! Then he turned us over to Ivan and Donnie who did an excellent job in getting us fitted for equipment and then teaching us how to use the ATVs with a little practice ride at the meeting point. They made sure all were comfortable before we set out on the adventure. Throughout the tour they would stop and make sure all were still doing well and filled us in on a little bit about what we were seeing. We rode mostly through hilly forest, farm, and grazing pastures with views of the volcano brim above us, the Fort in front of us, and the sea below us! This was an excellent tour with friendly and informative guides and I highly recommend for everyone.” - Reviewed on 2025-03-24
