Frequently Asked Questions
Q:What's the difference between Jeep and ATV tours?
A: Jeep tours are more comfortable with professional drivers, AC/shade, and suitable for all ages. ATVs require you to drive, are more physically demanding, and have age restrictions (18+ to drive). Jeeps are better for families, elderly, or those wanting adventure without driving responsibilities.
Q:How much do Jeep off-road tours cost?
A: Half-day Natural Pool tours cost $90-110 per person. Full-day island safaris with lunch range from $120-150. UTV tours (you drive) cost slightly more at $110-130. Private Jeep charters start around $400-600 for 4-6 people.
Q:Can children go on Jeep tours?
A: Yes! Jeep tours are very family-friendly. Most tours welcome children 2+ years old. Younger children can sit on laps or use car seats (bring your own). No driving required, so it's safer for kids than ATVs. Full-day tours work better for older children (8+).
Q:Is the Natural Pool accessible by Jeep?
A: Yes! The Natural Pool (Conchi) is a highlight of most Jeep tours. The 4x4 journey through Arikok National Park takes about 45-60 minutes each way over rocky terrain. Once there, you'll have time to swim and snorkel in this stunning natural formation.
Q:Are Jeep tours bumpy and uncomfortable?
A: Jeep tours do involve bumpy, rough terrain - that's part of the adventure! However, modern 4x4 vehicles have comfortable seats and suspension. It's less jarring than ATVs. People with back problems should consult their doctor, but most find it manageable and exciting.
Q:What should I bring on a Jeep tour?
A: Bring swimsuit (wear underneath), towel, reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, closed-toe shoes, camera/phone with waterproof case, and water (usually provided but bring extra). Cash for tips and optional purchases. Light jacket for morning tours.
Q:Do I need to drive the Jeep?
A: No! Most Jeep tours include a professional driver/guide who navigates the challenging terrain while sharing local knowledge. Some operators offer UTV/dune buggy options where you drive yourself (driver must be 18+ with license), but traditional Jeep safaris include drivers.
Q:Can pregnant women go on Jeep tours?
A: Jeep tours are not recommended for pregnant women due to the bumpy, rough terrain. The jolting ride over rocky trails could be uncomfortable or risky. If you're early in pregnancy and feel fine, consult your doctor, but most operators advise against it.
