One of the best excursions we’ve done in our lives!! SO much fun and so gorgeous!! It’s so nice how your group gets their own tour guide. It was just my husband and I so it felt super intimate. We chose to go to the natural pool over the waterfall and it was beautiful and super refreshing.

We had a great time on our tour with Jordan! The trails and path up to the waterfall was a lot of fun to ride, the views were amazing and we stopped for a snack and some delicious drinks at the top of the mountain. Jordan was super friendly and a lot of fun to chat with. He also pointed out some toucans we saw along the way and showed us some trap door spiders. I highly recommend him. Be sure to jump in the pool underneath the waterfall to rinse off the dust and sweat, it's very refreshing!

We were guided up a cliff to a waterfall on ATVs. I had some trouble at first driving, and the guide gave me great tips that made me feel safer and learn faster!

Elizabeth_M, Mar 2026
Went with a large group of friends earlier this week was definitely intense riding and hot but super fun! Still waiting on pictures but I’m sure they will be amazing!

Violet_N, Mar 2026
I booked this excursion for my boyfriend and I’s first time trying ATVs and it was the best. The mountain views were stunning and it was so easy to get the hang of the ATV. The best part was Kiko, our guide. He was amazing and super helpful throughout the entire trip. He even stopped by to point out a Toucan and encouraged us to take more photos. We stopped by a local restaurant in the mountains and the view + smoothies + empanada was an amazing combination. We also got to swim in the waterfall, which was a great way to cool down because it was a very hot and sunny day. I also loved how it was just one other group with us so it was very personal. It was such a memorable experience and we loved every second!

The best!!!

Tour was ok.. never got our pictures

Jade_T, Mar 2026
It was ok. The trail is VERY dusty so the tour company should have advised or provide disposable face mask. Included in the tour was pictures along the way to be provided to us within 5-7 days after our trip. We never got them!! Terrible becuase we left an extremely high tip for our guide since he took a lot of pictures for us in his phone.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Hello Jade_T - Our apologies about the photos. We have been running a bit behind in getting them out. We have your photos ready now and are trying to contact you to get them to you. We tried calling earlier, but it went straight to VM. We are emailing you as well to see if we can get this resolved for you.

Super fun experience. You will get dirty/dusty so be prepared in the event you need a change for the ride back home in whatever vehicle you took to get there. Guides were great.

Gopikrishnan_K, Feb 2026
We were 6 adults and had a great experience with the ATV ride. Our guides Denis and Emmanuel took care of the trip very well which helped our ride. The ride was real experience of ATV ride thru hard terrains, small mountains which was really adventurous for us. We stopped at Jaco falls and a quick dip there which was refreshing in the middle of the ride. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Jaco. This will be fun for family or friends..

4 wheeling the hills and forest

Debra_M, Feb 2026
Great adventure with our guide Jorge! We rode great trails through meadows then up the hills to the top where we saw beautiful waterfalls and jumped in. Cool and refreshing! Headed back and stopped at a little restaurant for tacos that we bought! Then back down the trails to end our 3 hour adventure. Jorge took photos and videos with our phones! Great memories!!!

So fun!! They made it...

Zeenath_S, Feb 2026

What a fun adventure! The ride was awesome and the waterfall was beautiful! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable about the areas we rode thru. Even took us to a local soda on top of the mountain to see some spectacular views.

Jennie_R, Feb 2026
Jordan was amazing. Lots of amazing views, waterfalls and water time. If you have more riders than drivers, you can ride with a guide.

Stunning Views!!

Emily_N, Jan 2026
We ended up being the only people on our tour, but that didn’t stop us from having an excellent time! We rode with Denis, who was a friendly and patient guide! He was very funny and even helped us brush up on some new Spanish terms. He was watchful for obstacles and made sure we always felt safe. We stopped for incredible views from the tops of the mountains and mid ride we enjoyed a quick swim in a beautiful and refreshing waterfall! After the waterfall we were given the option to drive a bit further to a restaurant with a stunning view. I definitely recommend stopping in for a drink and/or snack! It is a bit dusty in the dry season. Though the helmets do have face covers, if we did it again I think I’d recommend goggles and maybe a gaiter face mask. Even with the dust, it was very cool to get off the beaten path and see a different side of Jaco. 100% would recommend the journey and riding with Denis!

A Joyful Three Hours

John_O, Jan 2026
It combined the best of traveling to Costa Rica: adventure and amazing scenery. Check-in was quite easy, and our guide, Erick, was thoughtful and thorough and kind.

Great experience, BOOK WITH THEM!

Adam_S, Jan 2026
The experience here was top notch, great customer service/check-in, newer facility with modern equipment & vehicles, and great staff. Our guide Justin was awesome...friendly, knowledgeable, found unexpected wildlife along the way for us to see & stop to take photos! We really loved the personalized attention we received & it was just the 2 of us on the ride (no large group). There were other groups there and they all seemed to get their own guides.

Fun in the wild

eric_k, Jan 2026
Wear clothes you can get dirty . Wear a bathing suit because swimming in the waterfall is a highlight . Our guide Will, was awesome . The pictures they take will cost you 40-50.00 so take your own .

Best day ever!

James_M, Jan 2026
Our guide was nice & friendly. The company started us with a safety video then our guide explains it farther. It was kinda nerve racking at the beginning & once you’re used to it, it is quite fun. The guide brought use to 2 waterfalls & gave us some time to enjoy it. He is also our private photographer & the photos turned out amazing. It’s definitely an unforgettable experience & highly recommended. We saw 2 toucans & a macaw during our ride. They were beautiful.

Great Excursion!

Jennifer_B, Jan 2026
We had the best time! Will, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. The entire group was my family of four. We went to this amazing little swimming hole and jumped off the rocks. Will pointed out some toucans, which we were excited to see. My only recommendation, is if you take this tour and it’s the dry season, bring a Bali or a scarf to cover your mouth. Your face will get very dusty.
