After paying over $500 for a 4 hour rental, I didn't expect to be told upon arrival that the guide doesn't get any pay except the tip you give him....and then at the end of the trip, they take you to the gas station so that YOU, the customer who already paid them over $500 for the rental, can pay to fill up the gas tank in their vehicle! Very disappointing.
I do not recommend this trip if it's raining...even though they say they do operate rain or shine. Other companies that had people out on the trails seemed to have full front shields which shield you from getting hit by the rain in your face going 55 mph while our vehicles only had half shields which don't protect your face (only the bottom half of the front window area.) While we did expect to get wet (based on pictures on the website), we didn't expect the piercing rain in the face. The ride seemed fast, kind of rushed but I think it was more due to the weather and after 3 hours of getting whipped in the face with the rain, we were good anyhow :). Don't get me wrong...it was still a lot of fun and we still had a good time riding through the puddles and sliding around in the clay and mud on the trails. I don't blame our guide for any of this. He was honestly a great person..super friendly, kind, and all around nice guy. This said though, we would not recommend this company due to the issues of them not paying their guides and also them asking the customer to pay for the gas at the end. It's a small thing really..only about $25 for the gas, but after paying over $500 for the rental, you would think they had already factored in the need to provide gas for their vehicle. Also, beware that for restrooms, there is only a portapotty (in case you need to change clothes afterwards as we did :) read more
