Great experience! The trip included round trip pick up from our Air Bnb with a short ride to the ATVs. From there we had a great time riding the ATVs to go see a waterfall and were able to swim. We also were provided a great lunch at the end. The guides were super safe and friendly. Definitely recommend!

Carlos was a great tour leader keeping everyone together. And safe. We enjoyed the stop at the falls and my spouse swam under the waterfall. Due to a change in our departure time, he ensured we would be back in time and we were. Lunch was hot and delicious. Communication prior to our excursion was excellent and timely.

Would still recommend.

Kirsten_I, Mar 2026
Was a bit different than expected. We still had some fun but you’re basically just driving an atv on roads to a tiny waterfall. We booked a 10am tour that doesn’t actually start until 11am unless you need a ride. We went to the meeting spot a few minutes before 10am not realizing we didn’t need to meet until 10:40am. The lunch was absolutely outstanding though so that was a great way to end the tour. Would still recommend to people that just want to cruise!

Fun excursion

Kevin_J, Feb 2026
Easy and fun! Splashing in the river was a highlight for most, but I just thought it was extremely cool to ride thru the Palm Tree groves, especially while they were harvesting. Wall to waterfall was easy and picturesque. You can jump in the pool at the base, but it isn’t as warm as the ocean. :). Carlos was a great guide!

Do it!

Leslie_B, Feb 2026
This was awesome. Everyone in our group throughly enjoyed it. The hike to the waterfall was a bit steep but this 65 year old grandma was able to do it with no problem.

Tour operator didn’t show up or communicated at all

Ahmad_A, Jan 2026
Literally didn’t show up and didn’t communicate at all. Booked one day before and messaged them an hour before the pickup time, waited for them to show up and nothing, contacted support and even they couldn’t get a hold of them

It’s pretty

momostinky197, Jan 2026
Absolutely, Carlos was our tour guide really nice knows English very well, I had sooo much fun. The food was absolutely amazing and the view is nice

Fun with family

Mireille_W, Jan 2026
The guides were very accommodating and nice. We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the tour. It was beautiful and recommend taking clothes and shoes that you don’t mind getting wet/ dirty.

Cheesy fun!

terri_M, Jan 2026
It was cheesy fun! Having owned quads for many years, it was a little on the slow side. But the rivers were a blast! Wet & dirty. They finally let us shift half way through (once we told them we knew how). We didn't get the fruit snack, which would've been nice, it was a fairly long ride. They should teach riders about using the rear brake (foot) and not just the front brake (hand). Unfortunately at the very end of our ride, a mom/daughter riding double crashed in front of us going downhill, mostly because they used the front brake, slid out the front, let go and went over. The daughter was injured pretty bad (arm/shoulder probably broken), which likely would have been avoided if they knew to use the rear brake. It was a bummer to an otherwise fun day. Lunch was good. Plan extra time, they were 30 minutes late picking us up and started even later once we arrived. We had to change our xmas eve dinner reservations because it took longer than anticipated. Overall would recommend.

Very customizable experience

Maria_R, Dec 2025
Highly recommend! Within about 1 minute of the ride it became apparent that i have no business of ever being on an ATV so the guides split the group up where more experienced riders could get the full benefit of the ATV off roading and we went on a beautiful (and calm) ride through the plantations and passing local villages to get to the waterfall. It was absolutely wonderful!

Smiled the entire time

Abbey_S, Oct 2025
I loved this tour. The guide (Gabriel) was great. We rode through creeks, roads, and palm trees. The ATVs were easy to operate. It rained during our tour but it added to the fun. You will get wet and muddy. I highly recommend this adventure if you just need more joy in your life.

This was my favorite...

Ashley_H, Oct 2025
This was my favorite excursion of our entire trip. Definitely do NOT pass this up when planning your trip. We took a really cool ATV ride through the jungle and town, up to the Rainmaker trail where we hiked a little ways to a waterfall that we got to swim in. Our guide then cut us some of the BEST pineapple we’ve ever had. And when we got back, a tasty fresh lunch was made for us. It was an unforgettable experience.

Waterfall on wheels

Shawn_G, Sep 2025
I enjoyed the experience. The waterfall was nice, but the four wheelers through the jungle was the best!

Let’s go riding!

Denise_D, Jul 2025
Great experience! This is not your average ATV ride through the woods! Rain, large puddles, riding through the many streams was so exciting!

Fun

Gina_S, Jul 2025
My son and I did this tour with Carlos. We had some much fun going through muddy waters on our ATV. I have child hood polio and Carlos was very helpful with my disability. I would highly recommend this tour even if you have some limitations of mobility. Pura Vida

Great for Beginners

Jen_A, Jul 2025
This ATV experience was very good for a first-timer. I had never been on an ATV before, let alone driven one, and I was a little nervous. The rest of my family was ziplining (or sick) that day, and I wanted something fun and easy I could do alone. The machines were very easy to operate and on our tour we just stayed in 4th gear, so I didn't have to mess with changing that, but if I had to change it they were just up and down buttons, so very easy. The lunch was yummy and it was cool to see the small waterfall.

Fantastic 4 wheeling adventure

Cindy_A, May 2025
We had so much fun 4 wheeling! Oscar was our lead man and he was absolutely fantastic!! The 4 wheelers were like new, he took us through so much different terrain and water we had a complete blast!! Oscar gave us a great introduction to the 4 wheelers and was always available if you needed anything. The scenery was gorgeous and we also saw various monkeys & birds. Highly recommend this tour!!

So fun! ATV riding...

Bryan_M, May 2025
So fun! ATV riding through the trees, streets, and up into the mountains was awesome! Jumping in the water once up near the waterfall was awesome.

The drive was amazing and...

Melissa_S, May 2025
The drive was amazing and the waterfall place is beautiful. The guide was very nice and friendly. The food they provide is delicious.

Definitely a Fun Time

Brianna_A, Apr 2025
From time we were picked up to drop off it took about 6 hours. I wore my keen sandals shorts, long sleeve quick dry shirt and a bathing suit under. I had a small waterproof bag. The hike and waterfall part was short but really nice. It was a lot of fun and we had a wide variety of ages. The snacks and meal were good.

Fantastic!

Lauren_G, Feb 2025
I was nervous beforehand but was put totally at ease with how professional and fun the guides are. It was raining the entire time and, if anything, this added to a great experience! A must-do activity.

Great Staff Team

Ken_B, Feb 2025
Staff were amazing, we are very experienced riders as we have a number of ATVS back home. They did give us more leeway and let us have some more fun in the rivers.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time and that our staff helped make your experience even more enjoyable. It's always a pleasure to host experienced riders like you, and we’re glad you could have some extra fun in the rivers!

Great experience

Kimberly_B, Feb 2025
I loved this excursion. I was the first ATV driver behind Gabriel (our tour guide). I did feel some pressure lol. But he was attentive and made sure everyone was safe. The whole experience was great. From pick up to drop off. The lunch was delicious. I wouldn’t hesitate to book this tour.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your fantastic review! It’s great to hear that you had such an amazing time on the excursion. Being the first ATV behind the guide can be exciting, and we’re glad Gabriel made you feel safe and comfortable throughout the ride. We appreciate your kind words about the experience, from start to finish, and we’re delighted that you enjoyed the lunch as well. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure anytime!

A day with Fourtrax Tours

Carol_M, Jan 2025
Great experience overall. For a few of us, it was our first time on the ATV and despite the nerves, well worth it! Fun to ride from the forest of palms up to the rainforest. Such diversity in the terrain.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear that your first ATV experience was a great one. Exploring the diverse terrain—from the palm forests to the rainforest—is truly a unique adventure, and we’re glad you enjoyed the ride. It’s always exciting to see first-time riders overcome their nerves and have a fantastic time! We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

Exciting, fun and good food

kred701, Jan 2025
This was so much fun. Oscar was our guide and made sure we had the best time, through mud puddles. We also were able to ride if our abilities showed we were safe. The waterfall was so much fun, allowing those who wanted to, to jump from the top of the waterfall in Rainmaker Park. Gabriel was patient and a great photographer for my adult daughter and very personable. The lunch included was the best Casado I've had since being in Costa Rica.(6 days) From pick up to drop off was about 6 hours. Thanks to Fourtrax.

We enjoyed it! The kids...

Valerie_H, Jan 2025
We enjoyed it! The kids said it was a blast. Driving through all the palm trees, through the creek and the local village. Jumping in the waterfall was a highlight. The lunch at the end was also very nice.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your kids had a blast exploring the trails, driving through the palm trees, and experiencing the local village. The waterfall jump is definitely a favorite, and we’re glad it was a highlight for you! We're also happy that you enjoyed the lunch—it’s the perfect way to end an adventure. We’d love to welcome you back for another exciting ride in the future! Best regards.

Must take tour!

Awesome tour! The staff was friendly. The activity was just great! Pura vida! We went through the jungle and arrived to an amazing waterfall.

Fun tour and quick hike

Robert_M, Oct 2024
Fun ATV tour. It’s a nice ride through rivers, mud and a beautiful palm tree forest. You take a nice quick hike in the middle, they provide a snack at that point and a good lunch at the end.

Fun Adventure on ATVs

Peter_R, Aug 2024
Great time with teenage kids. Just be careful turning onto new surfaces like road to gravel and u will be safe. Also go around puddles if the guide does 😄
