What to Wear on a Curacao ATV or Buggy Tour
What to wear and bring on a Curacao ATV, quad or UTV buggy tour: clothes for dust and mud, swimwear for the beach stop, shoes, sun, goggles and the licence.
Wear clothes you will not miss, with swimwear underneath, and bring a change for afterwards. On Kadushi By Spannerben’s off-road UTV buggy tour the Hato plain is dusty in the dry season and muddy after rain, and the ride ends with a swim at Kokomo Beach; the buggy is US$215 for up to two people (checked November 2026). The driver brings a driver’s licence.
Goggles and snorkel gear come with the buggy tour and are handed back at the end.
Clothes
Four of the five GetYourGuide tours here put clothes that can get dirty on the list. For the buggy tour and Curaçao Island Trail's it is clothes that can get dirty or wet, plus a change of clothes for after the swim; for Curacao Travel Experts' and G-Atv Tours', outdoor or comfortable clothes that can get dirty.
Reviewers are blunter. On 10 March 2025 one advised going in beach clothes: “You will leave VERY dirty so it’s nice just to jump in and rinse off after.” A Dutch reviewer on 28 July 2026 writes not to be afraid of getting dirty and to wear clothes you are not attached to. On G-Atv Tours' tour, a reviewer on 26 September 2024 wore shorts and got sunburnt, and suggests long trousers even though they get dirty.
Swimwear and a towel
Four of the tours stop at a beach: the buggy tour 25 minutes at Kokomo Beach, Curaçao Island Trail's 30 minutes at Daaibooi Beach with snorkelling, G-Atv Tours' at Kokomo Beach, and Red Rocks Adventures' can add a swim at Porto Mari. Wear swimwear under your clothes. Bring a towel for the Porto Mari swim, as none is provided; snorkel gear comes with the buggy tour and costs US$5 a person to rent on the Red Rocks Adventures tour.

Shoes
Closed-toe shoes are on the bring list for Curaçao Island Trail's tour and Red Rocks Adventures', and slippers are not allowed on the Red Rocks Adventures tour. The buggy tour’s list has comfortable clothes; trainers you do not mind dusty will do for any of them.
Dust and sun
Dust comes up again and again in the reviews. Goggles come with the buggy tour. Bandanas cost US$5 on Curacao Travel Experts' tour, and face masks are sold on site on G-Atv Tours' while stock lasts. A Dutch reviewer on 31 January 2026 found ski goggles that fit over ordinary sunglasses worth having. For the sun: sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and water, all on the buggy tour’s bring list.
Rain and mud
Curaçao Island Trail's tours run rain or shine, so expect mud when the tracks are wet. On the buggy tour, a reviewer on 21 January 2026 enjoyed the puddles after a rainy night, and a Dutch reviewer on 8 November 2025 found the Hato plain at its best just after rain.
The checklist
- Driver’s licence (for whoever drives)
- Old T-shirt and shorts or light trousers you do not mind ruining
- Swimwear underneath, a towel and dry clothes for afterwards
- Closed shoes
- Sunglasses, sunscreen and a hat
- Water, and cash for a drink or snack at the beach
For who may drive and who should not ride, see age and licence.
