Best Experience in Costa Rica

Pablo is a fantastic guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and provides an amazing and memorable tour. My kids can’t stop talking about the animals, trees, physical challenges, and places he showed us along the way to the waterfall. 10/10 experience and something we will always remember.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Absolute Highlight of Our Trip to Tamarindo!

Our family recently took this ATV tour, and it was easily one of the best experiences we had in Costa Rica! If you are looking for a thrilling, high-speed adventure, this is definitely the tour to book. We absolutely loved riding through the rugged back roads and exploring the stunning, secluded beaches around Tamarindo that we never would have found on our own. A Huge Shoutout to Our Guide! Gustavo was excellent! He was knowledgeable, safe, and made sure everyone in the family was having a blast from start to finish. His energy really made the day special. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Whether you're an experienced rider or a beginner, it’s an unforgettable way to see the beautiful Costa Rican landscape. 10/10!

Discover secret beaches near Tamarindo on ATVs

Scott_H, May 2026

Great day- bring water and cash

Our family had an amazing day exploring the secret beaches near Tamarindo on ATVs. The rides themselves were just as exciting as the beach stops — cruising along the back roads, kicking up dust, and weaving through the countryside was half the fun. We visited three beaches, each with its own vibe. The first and third had spots to grab a cold drink (bring cash!), and the second beach was a stunning hidden cove with no amenities — totally worth the stop for the views alone. A couple of tips: bring plenty of water and a neck gaiter, because it gets hot and very dusty. These two things made a huge difference for us. The only downside was that the tour office didn’t have a sink to wash up after the ride. After getting absolutely covered in dust, we ended up using our drinking water to clean our hands and faces, which was a bit of a bummer. But honestly, the adventure itself was so good that it still deserves a full five stars. Overall, this ATV tour is an exciting, memorable way to explore Tamarindo’s hidden beaches, and our whole family loved it.

My wife and I had a great time on our ATV adventure with 506 adventures and tours. Picked us up at our hotel right on time. Got us on our vehicles ready to go. Had a couple of nice stops by the beach for a water break and ended the trip with some fresh pineapple, which was delicious. Definitely recommended.

Small-Group Zipline Canopy Tour in Tamarindo's Jungle

Amazing for Little Kids (5 & 8)

Went with our two kids -- 5 and 8 years old -- this was the highlight of their trip. The zipline guides were super nice guys, cautious, responsible, and made the kids feel comfortable. Also, this was not crowded at all -- it was just us and another family of four -- had an absolutely amazing time.

Danielle_S, Apr 2026

Airport transfer couldn’t be better

We used this service from and back to the airport. They were very responsive via email to schedule and confirm before the trips. Also, when I couldn’t find the driver in the airport and needed to contact them on the fly, which I really appreciated because that was a little stressful. Turned out the driver waited by the side door and I only looked outside the front door. Pick up at the hotel was exactly on time - always a concern with a long drive and early flight. All in all great service with both drivers.

Incredible sunset from the water

Wonderful catamaran cruise and great snorkeling! The boat was big and even though there were a number of people on the cruise, it didn't feel crowded. The snorkeling was fantastic and we got to see a lot fish! The sunset was absolutely stunning! Definitely worth the money and a great experience.

Adventurous gorgeous river trip!

This is our 2nd time taking this trip (first time in low water season, now in high) and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Luis, was fabulous- a total pro who made us comfortable (even our nervous kiddo) and navigated us through some huge rapids with ease! It’s absolutely beautiful jungle and the rapids are super fun. Will do again!
