So fun! Our guide was great and we enjoyed getting to know him. I think the price is very fair for this activity. I only wish we had done the longer one so we could have had more time! It was very fun driving the ATVs and splashing through puddles

Amazing ATV

Narad_P, Mar 2026
Amazing experience tour guide was patient with my kids and grandson. He made it exciting for all of us.

If you have not done ATV...

Siddharth_S, Dec 2025
If you have not done ATV ride, the two hour tour is ideal for you (it was our first). It would have made the first 15-20 min more enjoyable if the 4 wheel drive option was selected by our guide. Recommend for families

Fun ride

Richard_B, Oct 2025
A fun ride up mountains and across streams. The drawback for me was they took you to redesigned views without letting you stop along the way if there was a picture you wanted to take.

No good!

ShannonBurrell, May 2025
Awful experience, I’ve rented and rode ATV’s in nearly every country I visited. I’ve also booked through Viator numerous times. Where they did mention a visa or Mastercard to be shown when you rent the ATV they failed to mention it is $1,000 deposit per person. So in turn that discouraged the group being as though that has never been a thing and not everyone was willing to dish out $1,000. In return, I just want a refund and it’s been challenging.

Response from Host, May 2025

Hello - I reached out to you by text earlier this morning. Sorry for the confusion on the damage deposit. It is actually a verification of funds. We verify $1000 for every five vehicles that are taken out. I am happy to get you refunded on the trip. Very sorry we weren't able to take you out. Please text me back or email me direct at: gordon@adventuretourscostarica.com

Monica_C, Oct 2024
We had a blast. This was by far the best ATV we have done. It has lots of twist and turn, up the mountains.

Great experience

Frances_N, Aug 2024
Best experience ever!! Well worth the $75.friendly staff and top notch safety. We stopped at a restaurant on the top of the mountain. We would definitely reccomend this company.

Easy Rider

Rob_B, Aug 2024
Good value and fun experience for the novice ATV driver. Highlight was stopping at the canopy bar at the top of the mountain. Phenomenal views and tasty frosty adult beverages!

So much fun!

Stephanie_B, Jun 2024
What a fun experience! This was my first time on an ATV and I would definitely do it again! Our guide was attentive and took us to different spots. It was a cloudy day so instead of going all the way up to the mountain, we went part way up, then back to the beach. Our guide also took pictures of our group to capture the memories!

Fun experience with a well-organized tour provider

Sara_D, Mar 2024
Easy outting for families with teens. Very well organized. Friendly guides who are safety conscious. Be ready for $1000 deposit for equipment.

So much fun! Great guide!

Daniella_C, Feb 2024
Absolutely amazing views! So much fun! Cristian was super friendly and knowledgeable, definitely ask for him if you can! 10/10!

Great outing!

Michele_D, Feb 2024
Had a great time. The views at the top were breathtaking. Our guide was patient and got us up and down the hill safely.

Very fun!

Awesome!!

Maritza_A, Jan 2024
This ATV adventure was so awesome! The views at the top of the mountain were amazing. The waterfall stop was so much fun. We had time to jump into the water multiple times. Our guide, Mike, was very knowledgeable, patient and never rushed us. The trail we were on was beautiful with the trail going through dirt/rock, water, forest, mud, up/down, and more. Do it. You won’t regret.

What I Expected

Demetria_H, Sep 2023
Marco was an excellent guide. He was very cautious and patient. We enjoyed the day and the beautiful scenery.

Exciting Thrill Ride ATV Tour!

Mike_H, Sep 2023
Marco was very informative on riding directions and showing us the sites. Almost booked another tour for the next Day!!! Would definitely do it again.

One of my favorite experiences in CR

Nick_L, Aug 2023
This was a blast!! It ended up being a solo tour due to the time I went and my only regret was not going for a longer time. So much fun doing this.

Great time! Thanks Juan!

Ashley_L, Jun 2023
Juan was an awesome tour guide! We went through lots of mud and water and even through a little town. There were beautiful views along the whole way and he stopped for a few photo ops. We had a ton of fun! Pura Vida!

This is a must while you’re in Costa Rica! So fun & exhilarating for the whole family. Our guides were wonderful & so patient.

Fun, entertaining, exciting

Bill_T, Dec 2022
The views were amazing and the ride was a fun adventures for both my son and I. You don’t have to be an expert rider to enjoy the experience. Ask for Alex! He was a great guide!

This ATV ride was a great...

Daniel_C, Sep 2022
This ATV ride was a great part of the Costa Rica Visit. I highly suggest that anyone coming to Jaco book this ATV ride. The views were amazing and the price was good. Jorge and Johnathan were great guides. We even stopped to take pictures . All in all a great experience.

Worth every penny!!

Amy_T, May 2022
Alex is AMAZING! He was patient and professional and charismatic. Would highly recommend this tour!!

Experienced ATV RIDERS DON’T DO

Talisha_F, Mar 2022
If you’re an experienced ATV rider I would NOT recommend this tour. You’re stuck behind a guide going very slow. There is no mud or water. Don’t be deceived by the cover photo. You will not go through a jungle river like the photo. You go through some back roads and dirt roads but no mud, water, or jungle.

Response from Host, Mar 2022

Hello Talisha. I am very sorry to hear you did not enjoy the tour. I am happy to extend a full refund to you since you str clearly unhappy with your experience. We certainly do go through rivers and mud, but that is dictated by trail conditions and the riding ability of the weakest person in the group. If you go out again, you might want to pay the extra money and do the private tour. That way, other riders would not slow you down. You can email me at: gordon@adventuretourscostarica.com to coordinate your refund. I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Costa Rica. Pura Vida! - Gordon

Alex is the best tour guide. Lots of fun!

Ruddy_V, Mar 2022
Our guide Alex met us. We watched a brief video and safety and we were on our way. The whole process took between 5-8 minutes. My husband and I have done ATV a total of 4 times and this was by far the best yet. Alex took us safely up and down the mountain where we saw some amazing views, we asked him quiet a few questions and he was able to answer all of them. He stopped to point out a toucan. We made 2 stops with great views and ended with our last stop at the beach. He made a video of us and took lots of photos. Our tour was amazing and the price reasonable. Please tip on your way out, we sure did

Pura Vida

Ricci_G, Feb 2022
The people who work at ATV Adventure were amazing. We couldn't ask for better treatment. As first-time riders, they treated us with respect and kindness and went out of their way to keep us safe.

Beautiful ATV tour with Alex

Robert_V, Jan 2022
Our tour guide, Alex, was an amazing instructor and patient person. We first were taught how to use an ATX from Alex and then navigated the busy streets of Jaco until we went out into the wilderness. Once out here, we did some crazy stuff, such as, going up and down mountains, driving through knee deep water, and seeing same special birds, which Alex spotted while we were driving! This trip culminated with a view from a mountain top far away from the city. Even though it was listed as 2 hours, it felt so much longer because we were having a blast. I highly recommend this tour and I highly recommend that you go with Alex!
