ATV Tour: Eco Friendly Scenic Bellwood Layou Rainforest

If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, the accompanied ATV trail tour to the rainforest and waterfall should be at the top of your list! We booked this trip to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and we enjoyed it so much, I’m writing this review in under an hour of returning. This experience offered a perfect mix of excitement, stunning scenery, and cultural immersion. Our guide, Winston, was exceptional. He was knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the journey. His passion for the local area and its history shone through, making the trip not only adventurous but also informative. The trail itself was thrilling, with a mix of rugged terrain and scenic paths. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view of Layou Village from above. Riding through the lush rainforest Winston pointed out various plants, including cocoa plants, a mango tree (over 300 years old) and nutmeg trees which were fascinating to see up close. The waterfall was the perfect reward after a fun ride. The serene atmosphere and refreshing waters made it an ideal spot to relax and soak in the beauty of the surroundings. Along the way, we also caught glimpses of the ocean, adding even more variety to the stunning views. We were also accompanied by Winston’s colleague at the rear of the group maintaining everyone’s safety and his faithful dog, Mylo, who added even more charm to the journey. Mylo trotted and ran along the trails with boundless energy, keeping us all entertained. If you join this tour, I highly recommend bringing a snack for Mylo (breakfast sausages maybe) – he’ll surely appreciate it as he replenishes his energy after the adventure! To top it all off, Winston and his wife welcomed us into their home after the tour. Their home offered stunning views of the surrounding landscape, and they warmly encouraged us to take photos and enjoy the scenery. This personal touch made the experience even more memorable, as it gave us a chance to connect with the local culture and hospitality in a truly special way. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to combine adventure, culture, and natural beauty. You won’t be disappointed!

We booked this tour on the recommendation of other Sandals guests, and we were not disappointed. Winston picked us up from Sandals and took us to his home to pick up the ATV. The vehicles are new and very well maintained, easy to drive and comfortable and safe for the 2nd passenger. The driver is given the opportunity to have a short test drive to ensure they are comfortable with the controls. The trip was to the rainforest and a waterfall, Winston was an excellent guide regularly stopping, telling us all about the surrounding area, the plants, old plantation area and buildings. He took photos and videos for us and had regular stops for photo opportunities. I would highly recommend this trip as Winston and his wife were very welcoming helpful and knowledgeable, and not to forget his faithful companion Milo (dog) who ran the whole way to the waterfall and back.

The guide Winston and an incredible host and professional. I enjoyed the scenic views and the power of the ATV

The guys were amazing and patient. I thought the ATV was very hard to steer and hard to brake. The terrain was very rough. The few views we saw were not worth the money.

I recently went on an ATV tour and it was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the experience was well-organized, fun, and full of adventure. The guides were super friendly and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe, no matter their experience level.
