An Unforgettable ATV Adventure in Costa Rica — A Must-Do Experience!
My ATV experience in Costa Rica was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of my trip! If you’re planning to do this adventure, there are a few things you should know: do not wear your good shoes — you will get muddy! The mud, rocky roads, and off-road trails are all part of what makes the experience so much fun, so come prepared to get a little dirty.
The adventure takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes Costa Rica has to offer, including breathtaking beaches and scenic trails. Along the way, we even spotted wildlife, including monkeys, which made the experience even more memorable. You’ll ride through a mix of terrain — from rocky paths to muddy roads — making it exciting the entire way.
The instructors were outstanding! They were professional, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident before heading out. They took the time to match each person with a vehicle that was easy to handle and suited their comfort level. Throughout the ride, they were attentive, making sure everyone was safe, aware of the conditions, and having a great time.
This was more than just an ATV ride — it was an adventure that allowed us to experience the beauty and nature of Costa Rica up close. If you’re visiting Costa Rica, this is absolutely a must-do activity. Come ready for fun, mud, amazing views, and an unforgettable experience!

Fun ATV tour - great for the family!
My wife and I took this tour with our teenage kids, one riding with each of us. There were only two other people on the tour with us, which was great - we had plenty of time riding and tons of interaction with Jordan, our tour guide.
After riding about an hour or so, we ended up hiking down to a waterfall where we were able to cool off and swim a bit. We took in some great views, and Jordan took some pics of the group before we descended back down to the starting point.
Definitely pack shoes/clothes you don't mind getting muddy, especially if it has rained recently. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Book it!!
This ATV tour was the highlight of our trip! We had an absolute blast. Joseth M. was an amazing guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the adventure.
The trail was perfect, taking us through rivers, mud, rocky terrain, dirt paths, and even some pavement, which kept the ride exciting from start to finish. The safety briefing beforehand was thorough and gave us confidence before heading out.
To top it all off, the meal after the tour was delicious. Great food, great atmosphere, and an unforgettable experience. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for adventure and fun!

Amazing Crew & Experience
Luis & Frank gave us a 10/10 experience. Honestly was more than I was expecting and asked for. Very fun and lots of sightseeing and opportunity to take pictures. Fresh pineapple was also served. Thankful for everything! I highly recommend to anyone considering. You will not regret it.

Wonderful taste of Nicaragua!
Truly impressed with how well this tour is operated. There are a lot of logistics that go in to it on both sides of the boarder and it went quite smooth. Our tour guides were phenomenal and this excursion was a highlight to our trip. I will say make sure you bring cash! I did not bring enough and needed to find and atm as many vendors don’t take card. Make sure to bring money for tips. We especially enjoyed our carriage ride through the city of Granada. The people of Nicaragua were very friendly and there is a sense of authenticity felt there that many places lack, I would love to return one day.

We went high
A blast. The sights? Breathtaking. Zip lining over a mile, for as high up as we were, was unforgettable. Great picture opportunities. The only thing, when doing the atv portion: give yourself some space between you and the person in front so you can rip the gas and get some real speed. Be careful.

You can't beat this tour, this is the one!
This tour was the highlight of my entire trip and I could not possibly recommend it more. The guides Santiago, Annie, and William were hands down the kindest, most passionate, and most authentic tour guides I have ever met.
From start to finish this tour was filled with extra details that just enriched the experience in every way. From stopping at a bakery in Santiago's home town, to seeing one of Costa Rica's oldest trees, hiking the entire trail at Tenorio, the guides spotting wildlife with ease and taking the time to make sure everyone saw them too, swimming in a locally known spot, to stopping whenever more wildlife was spotted along the way; this tour truly had it all. If Pura Vida could be personified into an experience, this would be that experience. I loved how it never felt rushed, there was always time for pictures, breaks, or to just soak up the views. Seriously I cannot recommend this company enough.
In fact, the only regret of my entire trip was not booking every tour through Red Lava Tours, that's how good this tour was. If you are looking for an authentic, emersive Costa Rican experience then this is your tour.

Do this trip if you like fun and learning
Overall a really good experience, I would recommend doing it when you’re in Costa Rica. Our guide Kevin was very knowledgeable and kind throughout the entire trip. It’s something you’d have to experience for yourself from walking in a rainforest to more drier land where the mini volcanos are, to swimming in a waterfall which was gorgeous, and lunch was absolutely phenomenal. Finished off with the hot springs which just rounded out the trip. I don’t know, I’d do it again, it was worth the money, the people and the experience.

Nice ride to enjoy the sights.
The pathways take you through the forest, but because it has been traveled many times, they can be very bumpy but this adds to the fun. Because you follow your guide and other riders that may be inexperienced the pace is slower, so if you are looking to go fast this might not be what you are looking for. For us we were enjoying the sights and the slower pace allows you to take that in and enjoy.

Great tour
I had a great experience at Rainmaker thanks to our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable and really took the time to try and find the animals we were hoping to see. What stood out most was how patient and considerate he was—especially when I was nervous around certain creatures like spiders. He never rushed us and made sure everyone felt comfortable throughout the tour.
We ended up seeing a lot of snakes, which was surprisingly very cool, and the highlight was definitely spotting a red-eyed tree frog! Overall, it was a fun, memorable experience, and I’d highly recommend this tour—especially with such a thoughtful and dedicated guide.

Great Experience
This was an amazing experience! We got to see dolphins and a whale on our trip and then enjoyed swimming off the slide and snorkeling! The food and drinks were delicious and so fresh! Kevin and Minor were great guides throughout this experience, I highly recommend!

Great fun
I had planned to go with a friend but she got sick, so I was solo. I was picked up at my hotel by a lovely driver (Juan) who was very friendly. The boat staff were terrific and we had a good time snorkeling, with a tasty chicken lunch after. The sunset was beautiful and we even saw a whale breach. Highly recommend!

Not seeing something you are looking for?
From wildlife-filled cloud forests to misty volcanoes and white-sand beaches fringed by lush jungle—Costa Rica’s natural landscapes were made for open-air adventures. Costa Rica ATV tours provide a fun and exciting way to tackle the rugged terrain and venture deeper into the wilderness. Head off-road along rainforest trails or muddy tracks on an easy-to-drive ATV or buggy, splash through rivers, or zip along coastal beaches, then hop off to swim beneath a waterfall, admire the views, or picnic in the jungle. Take the wheel for a short circuit or combine your ATV tour with other outdoor activities.
