Questions, answered
I’ve never ridden an ATV. Is that okay?
Yes, most guests haven’t. Everyone gets a full safety briefing and a short practice loop before the tour starts.
What if I fall behind the group?
The guide rides at the group’s pace, and on group tours a second guide brings up the rear. Signal and the group will stop.
We’ve never driven on the left. Is that a problem?
No. You follow the guide in convoy the whole way. In The Bahamas we drive on the left.
Will I make it back to my ship?
All guided tours are 3 hours. Check your ship’s departure time and leave an extra 30 to 45 minutes of buffer. Bowcar has run port-day tours since 2002.

Laura Cook
in the last weekAn exceptional experience from start to finish. The entire crew was welcoming, professional, and attentive throughout the journey. Our tour guide, Rico, was outstanding, he prioritized safety while providing a memorable, engaging ride. Exploring the island by ATV is easily one of the best ways to see the sights, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique adventure."

in the last weekThis is the place if you want to do self tour on the island. Got buggy rtv for 3. Got pick up right after embarkment as scheduled in the morning. The bowcar booth picked us up nd drove us to pick up the buggy at their lot that is right behind the us embassy. Visited many places on our own (self tour) and well worth the rental. Only comment is that it is an aged vehicle, with the engine light on, no turn blinkers, and no windshield (bring some driving sunglasses), aside from that it takes you to the places you want to go. Remember drive from the left (if you are from the states).

in the last weekI have used them two times now and they had the best price and friendly staff. I met the owner and he helped me break a bigger bill so I could give my kids some smaller bills for the straw market. It was a nice gesture.

in the last weekOur tour guide, Rico, was absolutely amazing. He showed us the Island through his eyes & was very informative about everything. From the national bird to the government building and how some of life is lived on the island. He took very good care of us. From water, to helping me off the ATV, my helmet, taking pictures of us & making sure i got all the photos i wanted. This company even supplies lunch at a local restaurant. I would highly recommend this company and request Rico as your tour guide. . I'm also going to add that i booked this excursion independently. Not through the cruise.
