Island Buggy Excursions

There is no better way to enjoy your visit to the island than being in charge of your own time and not being crammed into a vehicle with others and on a driver's timeline or having a guide rushing you. With Island Buggy Excursions, we will give you our suggested sites to visit on either the west end or east end of the island. Or we can customize your excursion based on sites you're interested in. It is then up to you to determine how long you stay at each stop. You'll enjoy driving one of the coolest vehicles on the island. Enjoy the fresh air and all of the beautiful sites. It will be a day you and yours will never forget. Please bring towels if you plan on dipping in one or more than one of the beautiful beaches.
