Ride Atitlan

Day Tours Overview

After 5 years of both motorcycle & truck back tours, we’ve figured out what works best, and how to maximize fun while minimizing risks. 

Let us take you on an adventure around the lake that will leave your cheeks sore from ecstasy induced grinning .

Want to take a tour but don’t want to ride a motorcycle?

Not a problem! Many of our tours below can also be done from the back of our trusty Toyota truck! 

Experience the remarkable natural beauty of Lake Atitlan completely unfiltered and exposed to the elements. But hold on, it can be a wild ride! Or a less wild one if you prefer. 

Either way, we guarantee that your cheeks will hurt from excessive grinning.  Up to 6 people can ride in one truck. Maximum 12 people per tour. Discounts available for parties of 3 or more. 

*if some of your party wants to ride motorcycles and others want to ride in the truck, that can be arranged as well.
