- What is an ATV?
An all-terrain vehicle (ATV), also known as a Quad Bike is a four wheel vehicle that travels on low-pressure tires, where the operator sits on a seat similar to a motorcycle and controls the steering using handlebars. Unlike motorcycles the extra two wheels gives complete stability especially at slower speeds. When equipped with automatic gearboxes they are a complete breeze for everybody to ride.

- What happens if we have a accident on the tour and the ATV has been damaged?
Our ATV is very safe to ride for everyone however accidents can occur and are usually caused by customers ignoring the instructions given in the pre tour safety briefing by our professional ATV guides. If our ATV has been damaged by the customer and parts need to be replaced such as a broken Plastics, headlights, bent handlebars, steering column etc then the driver is liable for 100% of the parts costs. We are very fair and the exact Polaris parts costs that need to be replaced will be shown to the customer via the Polaris official website. We of course do not charge if there are any mechanical issues with the ATV during your tour. If there are mechanical problems with your ATV during the tour we will replace your ATV with the support rider guide’s ATV and continue the tour.
- Why do you charge customers if they have made an accident and broken the ATV?
If we included damage to ATV’s caused by the customer in our tour then we would have to triple our tour price and very few people would book a tour. Secondly if ATV damage caused by accidents was included in the tour price then there would be a portion of customers that would treat our ATV’s like Dodgem bumper karts and would use them with total disrespect.
