Ride a UTV Tour in Curaçao

Category: | Published on: March 18, 2022 | By Sharon Wouters

Do you want to do a fun activity with friends or family? Want to make your vacation complete? Want to get your adrenaline pumping again and are you not afraid to get dirty? Then driving in this UTV Tour is just for you!

I work at Curaçao Activities and before my first day of work, I read through all the activities that can be booked and my eye immediately fell on UTV Tour. I already imagined how I would be sitting in the buggy and how cool it must be to drive in it, but I had only just arrived in Curaçao and there was no rush and I thought this will come.

When my sister came to visit me on the island and asked me to recommend a few activities, one of the activities I mentioned was the UTV Trip. She was also enthusiastic about it and in that moment, I thought: “If my sister goes, I will join her”. So said, so done. Not only did my sister go with me but I also asked some friends to come along.

A few days before we were going to do the buggy tour, my friends started with:

  • Oh, I’m so curious!
  • I’m really looking forward to Saturday.
  • Can you see us driving that buggy together?
  • It is of course always nice to see that everyone is enthusiastic before the tour, which will help make the day a success.

 

UTV Tour

There we stood, dressed in clothes we didn’t mind getting dirty, and ready to get into the Buggys. In Sambil we were picked up by our guide Waldemir, who told us we could call him Miertje, so there was immediately a relaxed atmosphere in our group. So that was the first bonus of the tour, the guide. He kept the group engaged throughout the tour while telling his stories at the stops. He also took half of our photos, so in addition to knowledge and skills, he was also nice enough to take pictures.

Let’s move on to the second bonus, the environment. Before I started the trip, I thought that I would have already seen most of the West Coast, Westpunt. I had already visited many of the beaches there and I thought that was the majority of the West Coast. But no, everything I saw was new to me. Since there were two of us in the buggy, I could spend half of the tour admiring everything. What a beautiful part of Curaçao the West Coast is! The visit to the cave, the Boca, and Daai Booi just made the tour complete.

Last but not least, the driving itself. Oh, it was so cool! It has been 2 weeks and I still can’t stop talking about it. I wish I could do that every day. Driving a normal car is boring once you have driven the buggy…

The parts that you can drive off the road were amazing! I could hear the screams of the girls riding in front of me, screams full of excitement. At every stop, everyone got out of the buggy with a big smile. Paved road, sandy plains, potholes, puddles of water, we’ve had it all, and it made our day, in one word, FANTASTIC. So don’t hesitate, go drive a UTV! You will get an experience, a piece of Curaçao, and a nice day richer once you have done this.
