We researched tour companies and read reviews before booking our ATV excursion. The two main reasons we booked with Kini Kini were (1) there were rave reviews about Gabriel, and (2) the tour group sizes were small. The reviews were spot on and we had a great time. Gabriel was fun, knowledgeable, patient, adventurous and guided us safely through the trip. It was very enjoyable and we could not recommend it enough. Who would ever think that an Aloe tour would be so fun and memorable - but it was. We definitely recommend Kini Kini and Gabriel - and we would definitely book again.

5 stars & best ATV tour in Aruba !!!

Marcus_F, May 2024

Loved this experience and Nahmir was an amazing tour guide. Kept it fun, lively, and very informative of all facts related to the island. Weather was perfect! We had single ATVs so really got experience the terrain which was well worth it and a mix of the desert landscape and city terrain. Would definitely come back and book with this company.

Response from Host, May 2024

Glad you enjoyed your Aruban Roots Adventure with Kini Kini! Nahmir made it fun and informative, and the terrain was diverse. We'd love to have you back for more adventures!

Great Mother-Daughter Excursion

Thank you for choosing Kini Kini! We're thrilled you had a great time on the ATV excursion with Gabriel. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to hosting you again in the future!

Great Time...Will do again!

Veronica_G, Sep 2023

I had an amazing time. I was picked up/dropped off in from of my hotel. Myron was great and pleasant. Going up on the offbeat path was a little rough but that's what ATV riding is all about. The sites were amazing. I would recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Thank you for the review! We highly appreciate it!

Really Enjoyable!

Elizangi_A, Aug 2023

So so fun! Our tour guide was Pancho and he was very delightful to have. We were actually the only couple that booked that day, so it was kind of like we got our own personal tour! We got to do things at our own pace and it was enjoyable. A lot of bumpy dirt paths so prepare for that before you go in cause it’s not all smooth sailing but it made it more fun!

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We are so grateful for your kind words. Thanks for sharing your review with us and the community! :)

Really fun atv experience!

Marvin_J, Aug 2023

Tour guides were excellent. Allowed me to go fast with him. Really heightened the experience. Did not enjoy going to the aloe factory. Really detracted from what otherwise was a great experience!

Must do!

Dylan_E, Mar 2023

All I have to say was, this was awesome! Gabriel was our tour guide for the day, and not only did he make this experience so memorable but I let him know I was so nervous and he made me feel so safe. He took amazing pictures and taught us so much. Do not miss out on this great experience!

Response from Host, Mar 2023

Thank you for taking the time to review us! Happy to hear you enjoyed the trip and happy to hear you had a great experience with Gabriel!

63 year old grandma did it so can you !

Mary_C, Jan 2023

Great trip - 3 hours site seeing. No snorkeling, just the right amount of time at the stops. Got to see the aloe factory. Was on the fence but sooo glad we went. My 23 year old wanted to drive atv - but we only had utv 2 seater left at our day before booking. our guide Gabriel was the best. Very safe, fun, smart and told us a lot of facts.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed the tour :)

ATV fun

Narda_C, Jan 2023

Gabriel gave us an amazing tour! Got to stop at a few locations. He didn’t rush us, explained a lot and had great communication. The tour was beautiful!

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hi Narda, thank you so much for the review! We appreciate this!

Not as good as it could have been.

Doug_S, Dec 2022

Spent too much time on busy roads and not enough off road. When we did get off road, it was great. Also had a problem with ship time vs Aruba time. Not really the vendors problem but I felt that with their experience with Cruise Ship passengers, they could have made this clearer. As a result, we only had a 2 hour ride rather than the 3 hours we paid for.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Thank you for sharing your experience and sorry to hear it did not live up to our expectations. Indeed, we send the pick up instructions well in advance and highlight that the time is Aruban time, because we know many ships are on a different time zone. In the end ships that dock later than expected are out of our control and we do our best to still accommodate passengers and try to provide them the best experience. We're sorry to hear you did not feel the off road trail was not enough and that you had less time on the tour due to the ship's late arrival. Hopefully you can visit again on island and experience the complete tour.

Great Fun! Great Value!

Kim_T, Nov 2022

Highly recommend this experience! The. Best. Eddy was a great guide! He made sure everyone had a safe experience and kept us on pace to see each of the sights. We saw the lovely island and had so much fun! “Baby Boy” was also really nice and very helpful! Did I mention the price is very good compared to similar excursions on the ABC islands! Great value!

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you for the feedback and review! Thanks for sharing your review with us and the community!

Awesome cultural experience

Dustin_S, Nov 2022

Awesome tour guide, Gabriel was great, see if you can get him. We had a small group which was awesome, got to see all the sights and more! Wear long sleeves and sunscreen!!!!!!

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you for taking the time to review us and to share practical tips of our tours with the rest of the community!

Definitely recommend!

Amanda_O, Oct 2022

I am normally not one to write reviews but this tour was absolutely amazing for the price! Our tour guide Pancho was the sweetest and assured that we were comfortable the entire time as we drove at our own pace. I would definitely recommend the Kini Kini tours and their team!

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Thank you for your review! It's great to hear that you enjoyed the trip with our tour guide Pancho :)

Above and beyond expectations

Carol_G, Sep 2022

Our guide, Gabriel, was phenomenal. I would definitely use Kini Kini tours again. My son left his Sabres cap in the back of the ATV. They even had his cap returned to the ship for him. That was above and beyond their responsibility. THANK YOU!!!!

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Thank you for the review. We really appreciate you taking the time out to share your experience with us and we look forward to your next visit!

Pancho looks angry and was not very friendly. He kept rushing us and yelling about time. Attempted to rush us at the Aloe factory. We are on vacation. Overall the UTV was a good experience.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hi Joshua, first of all thank you for taking the time to leave a review about your experience with us. This feedback allows us to improve the experience for others. I am sorry to hear you were rushed at the Aloe Factory stop and that you felt the guide was angry. We will take your feedback into account to make this experience a more pleasant one for future travelers. If you are still on the island or will be coming back anytime soon, we would be happy to take you once again on this tour complimentary to make up for your not so great experience, just reach out to us via email and we will arrange this. Again, our apologies for the not so pleasant trip. We hope you still enjoyed the rest of the tour and your vacation on the island.
