Top Costa Rica ATV Tours

So much fun! I had never driven an ATV before so I was a bit nervous but got the hang of it really quickly. Everything is well organized and instructions are very clear. There's nothing crazy about the ATV ride other than the terrain at some points, but you go at slow speeds so it's perfectly safe for families (my husband and I drove our own with our kids on the back). I wish we could have gone faster, but this is not a thrill ride, more of a sightseeing type of ATV ride that is very tame. The tour includes a short hike up to Arenal volcano which is HARD if you are not physically active and not wearing the right shoes. My husband and I did ok but it certainly got our heart rate up. My teenage son breezed through it while my teenage daughter really struggled. I saw some folks in the wrong shoes who were struggling as well. Recommend wearing hiking shoes for this activity and being ready to make a steep climb at the end to the top of the volcano. The hiking part is only 10-15 minutes long. Most is paved except the very end where you need to climb up rocks to make it to the top. The view is incredible and worth the effort.

Our family of 3 did single ATV’s. We have never riden ATV’s before but felt the explanation and safety briefing was extremely thorough. There were 8 of us in our 11:30am group and we had 2 guides. We felt they were attentive and we enjoyed the fresh pineapple and waters during one of the stops. We would have enjoyed a slightly faster pace but understand that if you have a slower group member the whole group goes at that speed. Would highly recommend this!

Lots of impromptu stops to see wildlife on the way there made the trip amazing. Great coffee stop also! The hike was challenging and fun. Beautiful blue falls! Santiago was great and spotted snakes and sloths along the way. Fun day with a small enough group that everyone got to be friendly. Pura Vida

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.

The tours were absolutely awesome!!! The ATV rides were excellent but a little bit dusty with the dry season. Waterfall repelling was absolutely awesome but once again and the instructors took great care of us. The zip lining can’t be beat anywhere else. The only thing that would make this better is a little bit of rain!!!

Highly recommend this excursion! The views were amazing, and we even got to see whales! It was a great balance of sightseeing, snorkeling, swimming, dinner/drinks and sunset. The fresh fish dinner was delicious as were the many drinks they serve on board. Only complaint is we wish it was more than just 3-4 hours!

Great way to see Nicaragua. We originally booked the shared tour but due to not enough people booking we had to make the decision to pay for an upgrade to the private tour or cancel - this was only communicated the evening before the trip so beware this could happen when booking. We were picked up at 5am and driven to the boarder. Boarder control was quick and easy and we meet our guide Gaspar at the Nicaragua boarder. He fast tracked us through and we headed off for our breakfast and the tour. Gasper was an amazing guide, he was so knowledgeable and we certainly learnt a lot about the country and he made the day really enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this trip for anyone who wants to visit Nicaragua but is short on time

Great crew that takes you on an amazing, relaxing, and beautiful trip. Easy to find and wonderful communication. Snorkeling was so much fun and we saw tons of fish and sea critters. The ride back was like a party with all your friends. Amazing food!!! The crew offered to take lots of pictures and were so much fun. AMAZING sunset. Do NOT hesitate booking. This is worth the value. Every. Single. Penny.
