Re: ATV EXTRAVAGANZA

My husband and I also had a terrible experience with ATV Extravaganza 2 years ago. One entire family left the tour after about 20 minutes because our tour guide was drunk and driving like a maniac. He did not give us helmuts or any other safety equipment. He was going top speed and had no concern for any of us on the tour. At each stop, he would buy a beer. When we got to the national park we saw several other tours that all had on safety equipment and looked well organized. At one point when we were in Arikok park, a boy in his late teens overturned his ATV and went flying down the hill. Luckily, he only got a few scratches but it was a frightening experience. The drunk tour guide then proceeded to yell at this poor guy telling him "he had no balls". On the way back, my husband and I nearly got attacked by wild dogs that came charging at the ATVs.
This past year, hubby and I rented a jeep and went exploring through Arikok on our own. An ATV tour (I'm assuming ATV extravaganza as they were not wearing helmuts) were pulled over to the side. Two people were severely injured and waiting for an ambulance (we saw the ambulance coming on our way out). We still cannot figure out how they are staying in business. Your best bet is to set everything up through DePalm tours. They are reputable and cost around the same.
