EVERYDAY
- ATV Tours: There are several places all over the island
that you can ride an ATV in. The most beautiful are the mountains and
valleys around the North Shore. Usually, you have to be over 16-years
old to ride and the price averages about $50/hour, but off-roading on
an ATV vehicle is an activity that both residents and visitors have a
great time experiencing.
