Learned about this tour on the beach after getting off the ship… seemed pretty expensive at first, but was able to negotiate a different price… after taking a short taxi ride to get to our side by sides, we were immediately rushed into signing and let’s go. I had to review all the paperwork, no instructions given on the machines, no assistance getting ready… just hurry hurry hurry! OH BTW, I had to leave my debit card at the office, felt VERY unsafe with that.
Once on the road we were caravanned through town at a high rate of speed, zooming in and out of traffic… felt very unsafe doing this as we have never driven in Mexico. If you slowed down, they came back and yelled to speed up. No time to stop and take pictures of all the amazing sites… passed beautiful waterfalls and picturesque mountains… was never told that we were gonna cross rivers and mud… ruined a shirt… we raced up the mountain, turned around and went to a pay to eat restaurant… beautiful location, mediocre food. Very expensive. Spent about an hour total here and then it was back to hurry hurry.
After leaving there you take a short drive to a tequila tasting event… not for kids… no non alcoholic substitutes (no water no nothing) although senior Duran was a lot of fun…. After all your shots of tequila it’s time to get back on the road and race through traffic again. Cruising through the small streets with traffic, pedestrians, and animals crossing the road, you better not slow down because they will tell you to hurry up, you’re going too slow…
This was a beautiful excursion, however Unique ATV Was not the best company to go with.
