1
Groups & CelebrationsWell suited: bachelor/bachelorette parties, work teams, and groups celebrating—this tour is popular for group outings but requires a six-person minimum to run.
2
Families with ChildrenFamily-friendly: passengers age 6 and up are permitted, and minors must be accompanied by an adult; the format accommodates families when passenger-age limits are met.
3
Young DriversApplicable: ATV and UTV drivers must be at least 16 years old, so younger teens who meet that age can drive under the operator’s rules.
