East Coast sightseeing - Great experience! Would recommend this tour. Some of the roads were a bit nerve racking on the side of the mountains but our driver Victor was a pro at navigating through .

Brill. - Brilliant and worth every penny. Not just the tour and the amazing views, but John the driver was excellent. Very informative, a good laugh, and nothing was too much trouble, a really nice guy. In future when we go back will ensure that we book another one with him.

Fun and rum! - Excellent day of adventure and discovery, the driver (unfortunately cannot remember his name) was excellent, knowledgable, clearly loving his island and the beautiful places within it. His driving was thrilling and professional and we felt in great hands while we were going off road. It was thrilling and lots of fun.
We 100% recommend this full day of sightseeing and off road jeeping.

Every penny worth! Great time, great driver, great island. - Manuel was a good driver full of energy and good laughter. Although the Jeep is a bit small to sit comfortably it does not bother anyone. Lots of time to walk, enjoy company and great views. Relaxed lunch at Santana with free choice of restaurant. Enough time (1.5 hr) for lunch and small walk. We returned 17:15 at the hotel, the trip tool a bit longer but it was worth it. Not to forget the visit to the small but interesting rhum factory. Manuel made a trip to remember!

Awsome way to see a lot of the Island in one day and travel roads, you would never travel with your rental car. - I can highly recommend the Jeep Safari. My mum (57) and me (37) went for the West and (after the first tour was so amazing) for the West-Tour. By chance we had the same drive on both days and he was just awsome. The trip was awsone, the offroad-parts were most-awsome.
I highly recommend to sit in the back of the car, but if you have any health issues, you can also ask to be seated in the front part, which is, according to my mum, more comfortable. Just add your wish when you book your trip.
Really an awsome way to see a lot of the Island in one day and travel roads, you would most likely never travel with your rental car.
One last piece of advice: Take a jacket (windbreaker if possible) with you. Its cold up in the mountains, evens if its 30°C+ at your hotel.
Wish you all a lot of fun with your Jeep Tours :-).
Kindest regards, Heidi

Excellent tour! - We had previously done a west tour by minibus, but the jeep was more fun as it took us off-road for some of the trip. Our driver and guide Miguel was extremely knowledgable and great fun. We stopped at five spots, combining jaw-dropping views with some local interests. The trip was good value for money and we can heartily recommend it!

Amazing day! - It a great tour! We visited all the gorgeous places on the east side of the island and our guide Miguel was a wonderful guide!
The tour is also very kid friendly, since there are short stops and plenty of time to rest if needed. 10/10 recommend!

Great Experience - Our tour guide was friendly but not very talkative. He was more of a taxi driver. He brought us to many great areas. This was the only full day tour that did not include a paid lunch. Regardless, I would definitely do this tour again.
