ATV Tours with Kids: Is It a Good Idea?

Most ATV operators have a minimum age of 16 for the driver. But that does not mean families are out.

UTVs (side-by-sides) take passengers

Children as young as 6 to 8 can ride as passengers in a UTV with a parent driving. Check each listing for the exact minimum.

Dedicated family tours

Morocco, Mexico, and Costa Rica have explicitly family-branded tours on Viator. Slower speeds, shorter durations, with stops at cenotes, beaches, or villages.

What to look for in the listing

• Minimum age clearly stated
• Duration under 3 hours
• "Suitable for children" or "family-friendly" in the tags
