Can anyone give me any information on this. We seen it advertised last March and are considering doing it this next March when we come out there.
Thanks
Scott

Scott,I haven't heard anything of them since early in the year,so maybe they aren't operating.Why not check with Yestourism?
Incidentally,the rides were accompanied and through secondary and tertiary growths not the rain forest proper.

Hi Guys

You just beat me to it, David.

If anyone has any news on this outfit, I would appreciate it. I have twice emailed them trying to get more information on their services, but not had the courtesy of a reply. I tried to call in and see them at their premises in Black Rock last March, but there was nobody there either time. To be honest, I'm starting to get some doubts about this firm.

I posted a review of the quad bikes tour last year (the blackrock one) We enjoyed it, and it was not dodgy at all. The man (french) is married to a TAB teacher on the island. I don't know if they are still upand running, but the bikes were new, and the half day was well supervised.

Hi Alex

Thanks for you input. If you were refering to my comments, I didn't mean to suggest that they were 'dodgy' - only that they are being exceptionally daft about promoting themselves. Yes, I saw the quads myself and as an owner and user of a powerful 4x4 version up until not many years ago, I have to say that they appeared to be in good condition.

Hi Angela

Welcome aboard! :D

Don't worry - anybody who could ride a quad - or even a trail bike or bicycle - in the rainforest would be a better man than me. They don't actually go into the rainforest - only use public trails (think of them as by-roads)
