About

No trip to Rocky Point is complete without an adventurous ATV ride! It’s one of the most popular and exciting activities in town — perfect for couples, families, solo travelers, and groups of friends looking for some rugged fun on the sand and dirt.

Rental Companies

Several reliable companies offer ATV rentals with varying hours. Some open as early as 8 AM, while others start closer to 10 AM. Closing times range from 6 PM to midnight, so always confirm hours before booking to avoid extra fees or rushed rentals.

Most places offer standard 4-wheelers, but some also have a wider selection including Rhinos, Can-Ams, RZRs, and even Rubicon Jeeps. You’ll find rental spots all along Calle 13 and near the resort strip.

Cost of Rentals

Prices vary by vehicle type, rental length, and season. Here’s a general guide:

  • 4-Wheeler (1 person) – $15 USD for 30 minutes | $30–50 USD per hour | $150–250 USD for a full day
  • Rhino (4 person) – $50 USD per hour
  • Can-Am / RZR (4 person) – $150–250 USD per hour
  • Rubicon Jeep (4 person) – $800 USD for a full day

  • “Full day” hours differ by company — confirm exact times.
  • Most rentals are cash only, though a few accept credit cards.
  • Credit card, ID, or even your car may be required as collateral (especially for higher-end vehicles like RZRs or Jeeps).

Where to Ride

One of the best things about ATV rentals in Rocky Point is the freedom — you can ride almost everywhere! Short rentals are great for cruising Calle 13 and downtown streets. Longer rentals or those picked up along the resort strip let you explore the open dirt trails and dunes right behind the resorts (easy to spot by the rental company flags and other riders).
