Loved this trip!
If you’re thinking about doing this trip — do it! I wasn’t sure if it would work with my schedule, but I’m so glad I made it happen. It ended up being one of the highlights of my trip.
A huge shout-out to Paul, our driver, who picked me up from the hotel and guided the group all the way across the border. He was incredibly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Crossing the border during a holiday weekend (May 1st) could have easily taken 4+ hours, but thanks to Paul’s expertise, we made it through in under 1.5 hours. Truly a trip-saver!
Once in Nicaragua, we were in great hands with Claudio and our driver Chino. Claudio was engaging, funny, and shared so much helpful information and history throughout the day. I loved all the stops — especially breakfast (one of my favorite meals of the trip!) and a great lunch later on. Also, Granada's colorful scenery and the boat ride were also highlights. While we didn’t see many monkeys, being out on the water and taking in the views was still beautiful.
Claudio and Paul made sure we made it back to the border safely, which I really appreciated.
Overall, I felt completely safe the entire time and would highly recommend!

Worth it!!
This was the most fun we had on our trip!! Brian was an awesome tour guide who took us 4 wheeling through streams and river. We went up to the top of a mountain with incredible views and saw a couple waterfalls. Brian took pictures and videos of us and made sure we had a blast even when it started downpouring. The complimentary lunch afterwards was definitely a plus. High recommend! Worth the money!

Great time ATVing!
We had a great time with our ATV guide Deny! He was absolutely wonderful. It was my boyfriend’s first time ATV-ING and Deny taught him the ropes. Deny took some photos of us throughout the tour, as well as some videos which we purchased at the end. We had a great time and saw many beautiful sights. The waterfall was nice and refreshing, also. So much fun! Thank you, Deny!

I loved the experience. I...
I loved the experience. I feel that I got an great experience for what I paid. Daphne, our tour guide was very informed and kind. She also took great photos. Plus I shared it was my birthday and they surprised me with a cake and plate that said Happy Birthday. So sweet!

The secluded beaches we...
The secluded beaches we visited were beautiful! The kids loved playing in the waves. We saw two families of howler monkeys during the tour.
There is a photographer who follows the group to take pictures, but you have to pay if you want the images. Bring a face covering (or buy one there for $5). It’s very dusty! You, your clothes, and your belongings will be covered in dust, so it’s helpful to wear old clothes and bring a trash bag to put your backpack in.

Fun family activity!
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.

Great time!
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!

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.

ATV/Zipline/Waterfall Repelling
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!!!

Great snorkeling, delicious food and beautiful sunset
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!

Amazing Value!
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.

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.
