Creator's Key Takeaways

I prefer to do third party show excursions cuz it's usually a lot less people and the processes seem to go a lot quicker

hands down the best ATV tour we've been on so far absolutely absolutely hands down recommended guys

the tacos made up for the terrible tacos I had last Cru out of the West Coast tacos were so good

Creator's Tips & Advice

Pay attention to your shore excursion ticket times for water taxi or shuttle pickup
Consider third-party excursions for fewer people and quicker processes
Account for transportation time when planning your day
Bring your own goggles and dust mask for ATV tours

Confusion with excursion ticket times and water taxi schedulingCheck your ticket times carefully and arrive at the check-in point at the tour time, not necessarily the earlier shuttle time
