Went through the local area for a couple of hours. Fun and exciting for both my wife and I. Adrian was really nice and took good care of us. Would definitely recommend.
Good time
Kendall_K, July 2022
The tour was good, would have been great if the guide wasn't distracted by his cell phone repeatedly throughout the time. He was very nice and we enjoyed him he was just distracted by his phone often as teens tend to do. We still had a great time and would do it again. All the staff was super nice and very accommodating. I appreciated their last minute adjustment for us.
ATV
Gina_W, July 2021
It was a little strange when he came to the hotel in his private car which wasn’t very clean then we pulled up to his house and was greeted by his family. But the trails were great the ride was great and the guide was very polite.
Response from Host, July 2021
Dear Gina. Unfortunately our vehicle suffered a mechanical failure at the last minute, which had to send a car so that you could do the tour. If this causes us not to obtain 5 stars, we understand your comments very well. we will try to improve
Awesome
Jenny_H, June 2021
The tour was awesome and our guide was great. The other people on the tour with us had many problems and caused our tour to be shorter than usual and lots of waiting around. I suggest if going on a tour to go on a private tour or only with people you know.
Fun Time
Quianna_Y, Apr 2021
Went with three friends none of us had ever driven ATVs before but the ATVs were semi-automatic and pretty easy to operate. It was really fun and we stopped at two beaches to take pictures, stretch our legs, use the bathroom etc. I would recommend bringing goggles or something it had rained the night before so the dust wasn't that bad, but my sunglasses still weren't enough to stop some dirt from getting into my eyes.

Tifney_F, Apr 2021
Had a GREAT time!! We got to see two different types of monkeys and the beach was breathtaking. Our guide was patient and knowledgeable. I got scared riding my own ATV and he called his company to pick it up allowing me to ride with my fiancé. It was a wonderful day!!

Great Family Experience
Chris_K, Dec 2020
My family and I had an excellent tour. We had stops along the way to see the different beaches grab some waters and saw many monkeys along the way. It was an extremely fast two hour tour filled with so much fun. Our guide was outstanding from picking us up at our resort, the tour, and the ride back! Highly recommend for anyone looking to see Costa Rica in a different way!

Awesome experience
Jennifer_C, Mar 2020
This tour was awesome. It says it is for intermediate to experienced drivers, but our tour was made up of only our group members and no one in our group had much experience with ATVs. The machines were easy to drive and get the hang of and our guide took the time to teach us how to properly operate them. The guide probably geared our tour to our experience level, but it felt easy enough for beginners with just enough rougher roads to keep it interesting and exciting. We were taken to two private beaches both with amazing tide pools full of fun water life. We were then taken to another beach with a cool restaurant where we were able to get some food and drinks. The whole thing was a lot of fun and one of my favorite things I did while in Costa Rica.
Great!
Arlene_A, Jan 2020
Our guide, Rigo, was funny and attentive. He took the time to show us around and made the whole experience super fun.
Wonderful excursion!
Phillip_M, Oct 2019
The tour was awesome, got a great mixture of off roading and pretty chill roads. Carlos was an amazing tour guide. He stopped to show us monkeys, and enjoyed covering with us. He spoke English wonderfully and always was helpful when someone was struggling. One of the best excursions I have been on.

Excellent!!
Viteli_M, Sept 2019
The person leading the activity was very friendly, very informative and spoke very good English. They pick up and drop off at the hotel. With the ATVs we went to the towns, dirt roads, rivers, mud, you get to enjoy the local fruits....FUN ALL THE WAY!!!

Great ATV Experience
Alex U, Nov 2018
Our tour guide Johnny, was very helpful. It was our first time using the ATVs, but he explained the equipment operation and hand-signal use thoroughly that it became very easy to use. We originally booked the beach tour, but Johnny was able to accommodate our last minute request to change to the country side/waterfall tour, when it was recommended to us by another hotel guest. Riding the ATVs up and down the mountain hills, crossing multiple creeks to get to the waterfall was amazing! The waterfall was a bit of a let down only because we saw a substantially bigger one the day before. Also, there is a swimming area just below the waterfall so don't forget your swim wear. There were a few locals that were swimming and jumping from the top of the waterfall when we got there. After the waterfall, Johnny also took us to a local farm where we chatted with the farm owners and tasted fresh coffee, lemonade, and ate fried plantains. The owners didn't charge for the refreshments, but they did have a donation box. They also gave us a tour of their farm and explained the different crops they planted. Overall, I thought this tour was great and well worth it! Thank you for a great time!

Jason was an excellent tour guide. He made my husband and I feel comfortable. It was our first time riding ATV and now my husband wants to buy one. Thank you for a great experience. Pura vida!

Jessica T, Feb 2018
We had so much fun! We got picked up right from our hotel and luckily it was just the 2 of us on the tour. Our guide showed us how to use the ATVs and gave us the option of beach or town tour. We chose town and met a local farmer along the way who told us about his farm and gave us fresh veggies. A+

Jennifer D, May 2016
Great tour! You go into a local town where you meet your guide at his house. There, he teaches you how to use the ATV and gives you all the appropriate safety equipment. We rode through the rain forest and eventually made our way to 2 beaches. The tour guide stayed within our comfort speed and terrain. Then, he was nice enough to go with us to a local supermarker right across the street to get some coffee and snacks.
