Rent The New 2025 Kawasaki Mule Pro in San Andrés
The best part of this San Andrés rental is simple: you set the pace. From 9am to 6pm, a Kawasaki Mule Pro gives two people a breezy way to circle the island, stop at the places that catch your eye, and avoid being tied to a group schedule. A reported island loop covered 63 kilometers, so you have plenty of room for a full day out.
I like the hotel delivery and pickup offered by the company, along with the full tank at the start and full tank return. I also like the friendly, practical help associated with staff members John and Khaled, including route advice and, in some cases, airport transfers. The main concern is parking: you need clear instructions about where the Mule may sit, since one rental ended in a dispute after the vehicle was towed.
Key details before you book
- Nine hours on the road: Pick up or receive the Mule at 9am and return it by 6pm.
- Built for two: The advertised rate is $167 per group, not per person, for up to two people.
- Full tank arrangement: The vehicle arrives fueled, and you are expected to return it with a full tank.
- Bring the actual license: You must physically carry your driver’s license. A digital image is not enough based on the instructions.
- Request the cooler early: An igloo cooler may be available, but you must ask at least one day before the activity.
- Ask about parking in writing: Delivery arrangements have been praised, but parking rules need to be made very clear before you leave the vehicle.
A nine-hour way to see San Andrés at your own speed
This is not a guided sightseeing circuit with a fixed list of stops. It is a vehicle rental that gives you the day. That distinction matters.
You receive a Kawasaki Mule Pro for roughly nine hours, beginning at 9am and ending at 6pm. You can make an island circuit, stop for food or a swim, linger at a viewpoint, and move on when you are ready. The Mule is especially useful for two people who want more freedom than a taxi schedule allows but do not want to spend the day walking between scattered sights.
The rental has been promoted as the new 2025 Kawasaki Mule Pro. One important wrinkle is that a past renter described the vehicle as old, while another described theirs as well maintained and in good working order. I would confirm the model year and condition of the exact vehicle assigned to you before setting out. That quick check can prevent confusion.
The company uses GPS directions for a suggested route around the island. You are not locked into it, but following the route can help you cover the main sights without wasting time. Since the day ends at 6pm, a little planning is worthwhile. You want enough time to enjoy stops, not spend the final hour racing back.

What the island loop gives you

The strongest reason to rent this vehicle is control. San Andrés is compact enough for a full circuit, and the Mule lets you connect several parts of the island in one day. You can pause at the hot spots that interest you instead of accepting a preset timetable.
The exact stop list is not specified, so I would not book this expecting a narrated tour or guaranteed entry to named attractions. Think of it as a flexible driving day. You choose the stops, and the route advice helps you organize them.
A 63-kilometer circuit gives you a useful idea of the scale involved. That is enough mileage for a serious outing, but not so much that the vehicle should be treated as a long-distance expedition. You can make a full round of the island and still have time for breaks if you keep moving at a sensible pace.
The Mule also changes the feel of the day. You are outside, not sealed into a conventional car, and you can take in the island as you go. That can make short transfers between sights feel like part of the outing rather than dead time. The tradeoff is exposure to sun, wind, and rain, so weather matters.
Delivery, pickup, and the names to know
Hotel delivery and pickup are among the most useful features here. Several accounts describe the handoff as easy, on time, and clear, with the vehicle delivered to a hotel or accommodation. One renter also received airport pickup and a later drop-off at home, with Khaled handling the help. John was praised for explaining the vehicle and offering information about the island.
These personal touches can save time at the start of the day. A staff member who explains the controls, fuel arrangement, and route is more helpful than someone who simply hands over a key. Still, do not assume that John or Khaled will personally handle your booking. Ask who will meet you and where the handoff will occur.
There was also a complaint about a change in return expectations. One person understood that the vehicle would be collected at the hotel, then was told to return it to the office. The company described this as a language misunderstanding and said the normal arrangement was delivery to, and return at, the same hotel.
That is an easy issue to prevent. Before the rental day, confirm these points in a message:
- Where will the Mule be delivered?
- Where exactly will it be collected?
- What happens if your accommodation has no obvious parking?
- Who should you call if the vehicle is moved or towed?
- What time is the final return?
Keep the answers available on your phone. Clear communication is part of the rental, not an optional extra.
The $167 price and what it really buys
At $167 per group of up to two, the price works out to $83.50 each if two people share the Mule. For a nine-hour rental, that can be fair value if you plan to use most of the day and visit several parts of San Andrés.
The value is strongest for two people who would otherwise pay for repeated taxis or arrange several separate rides. You also gain the freedom to stop when you want. That flexibility is the main product.
The value is weaker if you only want a short ride, plan to stay near your hotel, or dislike handling parking and fuel yourself. A vehicle rental also places more responsibility on you than a guided excursion. You must manage the route, protect the vehicle, refuel it, and park legally.
The full tank policy is straightforward but important. The Mule is delivered with a full tank, and you return it full. Build a fuel stop into your day rather than leaving it until the last few minutes. The information supplied does not state whether fuel is included in the $167 price, so ask before booking if you need a precise total.

The practical parking warning
The most serious caution concerns a vehicle that was removed after being left near an Airbnb. The renter said the company had originally parked it there, then later said it had been towed because of a local festival. The dispute involved towing charges and additional rental fees.
The company replied that the vehicle had been parked incorrectly and that the cost exceeded the amount the renter offered to pay. The facts of the dispute are contested, but the lesson is not hard to see: never rely on the delivery location as proof that parking is allowed for the rest of the day.
San Andrés may have temporary parking restrictions during festivals or local events. You may not know the rules, and the rental company may assume you do. Ask the staff to identify an approved parking place at your lodging, especially if you will leave the Mule unattended.
Take a few photos at delivery. Record the vehicle’s condition, fuel level, and where it was parked. If staff tell you that a certain street is acceptable, save that message. If the Mule disappears, contact the company at once and ask for the name and location of the tow yard, along with written confirmation of what happened.
This is not meant to frighten you away. It is basic rental discipline, and it matters more on an island where festival closures or crowded streets may alter normal parking.
Vehicle condition, comfort, and the open-air tradeoff
The Kawasaki Mule Pro is useful because it offers more space and stability than a small scooter. For two people carrying drinks or a few day items, it should be a practical choice. The available cooler is a nice touch, but you must request the igloo one day before the activity. It is not something to count on automatically.
Condition appears to vary by vehicle or by expectation. One person found the Mule old, while another found it well conserved and working properly. That difference makes the handoff inspection important.
Before you drive away, check that:
- The fuel gauge shows a full tank.
- The controls and lights are explained.
- Existing scratches or damage are recorded.
- The return location is confirmed.
- You know how to reach the company during the rental.
The supplied information does not describe the seating, storage capacity, or weather protection in detail. I would ask about those points if comfort matters to you. The open design can be pleasant on a sunny day, but poor weather can make the same ride less comfortable.
Who will enjoy this rental most
I would choose this for a couple or two friends who want to see San Andrés independently. It suits people who enjoy making their own route, stopping often, and handling the small responsibilities that come with a rental.
It is also a good match if you want to combine several island sights in one day. The 9am start gives you a full block of daylight, and the 6pm finish leaves a clear endpoint. The vehicle has been used for a complete island circuit, so you can make the most of the day without hurrying from one attraction to the next.
I would be more cautious if you are uncomfortable driving an unfamiliar vehicle, have no secure place to park, or want a fully narrated experience. This rental gives you freedom, not a guide sitting beside you. Staff can provide tips, but the sightseeing decisions remain yours.
Most people can participate, service animals are allowed, and the activity is near public transportation. Those details make the pickup process easier, but they do not remove the need to bring your physical driver’s license.
Weather, timing, and cancellation
The experience requires good weather. If poor weather cancels the rental, you are offered another date or a full refund. That is useful for an open-air vehicle, since rain could affect the whole day.
You can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before the 9am start time. Changes made inside that 24-hour window are not accepted, and late cancellations are not refunded. The local time in San Andrés controls the cut-off.
I would also request the igloo cooler at least one day ahead, since that request follows the same practical planning window as the cancellation deadline. Confirm the delivery time and parking instructions before the morning of the rental.
Should you book the Kawasaki Mule Pro?
I would book it if you want a flexible island day for two and are happy to manage fuel, parking, and the route yourself. The $167 group price can be good value when you use the full nine hours, and hotel delivery, airport help in some cases, and useful route advice make the day easier.
I would not book without first confirming the exact Mule, the pickup and return location, and the approved parking arrangement. The high overall rating of 4.8 out of 5, with 97 percent recommending it, points to a strong experience for most bookings, but the towing dispute shows where the risks lie.
Go in with your physical license, a full-tank plan, a charged phone, and written parking instructions. Do that, and this can be one of the more independent ways to see San Andrés without spending the day watching the clock.
