Book it! It was amazing. We drove for 3 hours. We were in our 50's and 60's. It was a big strenuous but we had a blast. We were taken on many dirt roads, fields, crossed water, up on cliffs with gorgeous views, stopped at a little restaurant called El Tajo. Best lemonade I've ever had in my life!! We drove to the waterfalls. Very big steep steps going up and down. If you tire easily or have bad knees, you might want to skip this. We went and swam up and behind the falls. It was exhilarating! Our young, tall, lean guide was terrific. I wish I could remember his name. Thank you! We took several things off our bucket list on this great trip!

It was good mix of ATV, a small hike and beautiful scenery. We chase the 3 hour option and it was a perfect length.

The ATV tour was great, but the tour guide, Pachi, seemed a bit abrupt. The ATV's engine generated intense heat, nearly burning my legs. When I raised this concern, he simply stated that it was normal.Apart from that, the visit to Jaco Falls was incredibly adventurous and offered stunning views.

Amazing trip with Danny!

Kimora_P, Jul 2023
This experience was absolutely amazing! We did not have many expectations going in but were excited nonetheless. And once we got there, our expectations were exceeded. Our guide, Danny boy, was phenomenal. He did everything from picking us up at our hotel, to bring our guide, to then dropping us off. He was very charismatic and fun to be around. Plus an excellent photographer! If you have a chance to pick your guide, ask for Danny. An amazing experience and would definitely do it again.

Alberto was a great tour...

Ninja was a great guide- very experienced and thoughtful! He took us on a great ride, showed us some great sights and the whole time I felt that he had the perfect balance of adventure and safety!

Amazing!!

The ATV tour is one of the best activities to do in Jaco. Seeing the waterfall and riding up the mountain was unforgettable and the views are surreal.

Amazing ATV trip through the Costa Rican Rainforest!

Chris_K, Jun 2021
Fantastic trip! Our guide was super friendly and fun. He took us to a beautiful waterfall and took amazing slow-motion pictures for us. Then we went to a secluded bar and restaurant where we had amazing authentic Costa Rican food and cocktails. The ATVs were powerful and fun, and we felt safe the entire time while driving on various terrains. I definitely recommend this trip to anyone!!

Highly recommended. Everyone gave it 2 thumbs up

Loved the puddles and mud. Beautiful views from the top of the mountain Henry was great guide Loved the Tarzan swing!!!!

Underwhelming experience, tour guide...

Edward N, Jul 2016
Underwhelming experience, tour guide wasn't particularly enthusiastic and I got the feeling that he would rather be somewhere else, or is considering a change in career. No real instruction at the outset for those who are unfamiliar with ATVs. Poor value for money considering the price of the other activities are available in Costa Rica.

Tasos_P, May 2016
I enjoyed doing this tour going rave on the dirt road for 3 hours and having all to my self my cool guide taking me tons of video footage but it wasn't that much of going through the wild muddy jungle on an ATV as I was hoping..One should do it by the beginning or ending or wet season it would be way more fun. Still I got to see amazing views and swam into a small waterfall too even tho it was in dry season...
