Took a chance booking this as my friend and I are both NYC girls not familiar with ATVs - but we had SO MUCH fun! We were thrilled with the decision to rent the buggy instead of the quad though as it was easy to drive and felt much safer… The guide was amazing and offered great history about the area. He also took a lot of time to make sure everyone understood and felt safe operating their vehicles. The route and scenery were incredible. Can’t say enough good things about this tour - would 100% do it again if I make it back to Sao Miguel! Oh one tip - wear dark clothes - we were filthy by the end!What a great way to see part of this beautiful, magical island! Phillipe was a wonderful, patient, safety-conscious leader that allowed us to have fun while keeping us safe. Amazing views, lots of weather/temperature changes through the four hour journey.

Loved the whole trip it was nice to be out in the nature and see so much more in a short period of time. A very safe and easy adventure- even without knowledge of ATV use. A must do for anyone and all ages and would have gone again if we had more time. Owner and his back up driver were attentive, helpful if needed and informative. This was the highlight of our trip to Sao Miguel! Allowed for the use of all senses-sight, smell, feel and hear- taste was a quick stop in the bottom of Sete Cidadides at the green love cafe for a coffee, Ice cream or other snack. Give them a try - you won’t regret!A must do family experience. The guides were safe, friendly and knowledgeable. The equipment was well maintained and the route provided picturesque views.
