The 3 hour tour was great. The trip through the jungle was amazing and beautiful. They stopped at 2 waterfalls, one just for photos and the other you can swim and hangout at for a bit. Got lucky and seen a dart frog and monkeys at the waterfall. The guides are very knowledgeable and attentive. I would highly recommend booking this tour.

Our favorite tour of the trip!

Alison_G, Jun 2026
Loved this experience with a family of 9 especially the teenagers who could drive their own (with a valid license). The course is so fun and the waterfall stop was refreshing. The highlight was stopping for drinks and snacks at the top of a GORGEOUS mountain. Order an empanada and a frozen juice. Our guide was awesome and kept us safe. It was HOT so bring water and wear sunscreen. Very good value for what you get to do especially compared to ATVs in the US.

Alfonso our tour guide did an excellent job, made us feel comfortable, he was friendly and well informed. We recommend this tour!!

Fun ATV tour - great for the family!

Michael_N, Jun 2026
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!

Must do adventure.

Ben_J, Jun 2026
Was a great time. Climbing the mountain, swimming in the waterfall. We even got to see some monkeys and a sloth.

3 hour 4 wheeler excursion

Justin_R, Jun 2026
The three hour excursion was so much fun we want to come back and do the full day (6 hour) excursion. Our guide was very friendly and personable. He showed us some unique spiders and other animals and he stopped us to take pictures at some of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen in my life. My husband and I had huge smiles on our faces through the entire ride. Before the tour is over, we stopped at a soda that had great food and drinks. The ride was a nice balance of thrills with a constant sense of safety. 1000% recommend.

Book it!

Elizabeth_B, Jun 2026

Great tour! I went with a group of 6 and we were the last booking but the tour was nothing short of amazing! Beautiful sights and good equipment. The waterfall was beautiful but the water was brown in the swimming area. Highly recommend.

A great adventure!!

Eric_N, May 2026
This is a must do while in Jaco! It was our last day in Costa Rica and we didn’t have plans so decided to give this a shot. It did not disappoint at all! Our guide Justin was very friendly and helpful! We have done other ATV excursions at other destinations and none have compared to this. We would highly recommend this adventure!

Best thing we did in Costa rica

Stacey_A, May 2026
Kiko was our guide. Picked us up from our hotel and got us set up quickly. Great tour- drove through a little town, jungle trail and soaked in natural springs. Would highly recommend.

Great time ATVing!

Idaymin_O, May 2026
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!

Must do!

Alison_H, Apr 2026
This was an incredible adventure and ultimate way to see the most breathtaking views surrounding Jaco. Swimming in the “natural pool” was refreshing and provided the perfect backdrop of the area.

Had so much fun!!

Kate_K, Apr 2026
Alonso was a wonderful tour guide and we loved the fun of being able to climb high up into the trees on ATV’s and then swim at the waterfall. Highly recommend- this is a great way to see Costa Rica

Jordan is awesome

Katherine_D, Apr 2026
Basically a private tour! Jordan was awesome at personalizing our experience. We practically had a private waterfall to jump in.

Elijah_A, Apr 2026
Absolutely amazing sights! Definitely something everyone should try out when in Jaco! Also great food along the way!

1st time jumping through a waterfall!

Jonny_G, Apr 2026
We had an incredible experience! I’m an adrenaline junky and this definitely passed the test. Our guide Matt, was super cool and made sure we had a great time. The 20 ft cliff jump into the waterfall was the highlight! You literally jump through the falls. Thanks Matt!

Josue_O, Apr 2026
I did a 2hr tour. this was fun and awesome. the view was amassing! The tour guy gives explanations about the vegetation and the rivers near by. definitely a must do!

Manuel was awesome! Can’t wait to see the pics and videos he took.

Cheryl_T, Apr 2026
Easy to navigate, most riding was on dirt roads with no cars. Tour guide was very cautious of our a safety. Was a great time.

Def worth it !!

JuanCarlos_D, Mar 2026
We did the ATV excursion in Jacó, Costa Rica, and it was a perfect activity for our bachelor trip. It was a great way to do something different and take in the beautiful scenery Jacó has to offer. The ride through the mountains was amazing, and we stopped at a waterfall where we got to swim for a bit—such a great experience to share with friends outside of just partying and drinking. The staff were super friendly and made everything easy, especially with the pickup and drop-off, which were perfectly coordinated. Overall, it was an unforgettable experience and definitely a highlight of our trip. Highly recommend!

The views were amazing....
