If you want the west side with flamingos and Kokomo Beach, choose the Go West ATV tour (about 3 hours). For a longer ride with a cave and a swim stop, the UTV tour west coast fits (3.5 hours, with pickup). For the rugged east coast there is the Offroad Tour East Coast by buggy or quad (2.5 hours).
On all these tours the driver must be at least 21 years old and hold a valid driver's license. If you prefer not to drive, pick a jeep safari. Checked on September 27, 2026.
