So much fun! Our guide, Reynols, was amazing! He had such a great personality, was excited about the tour, very knowledgeable of the history & local facts, stopped to show us monkeys, took us to a gorgeous beach to enjoy his friend’s pina coladas, and paid attention to safety. Top notch & would highly recommend!

Our family of five (two grandparents, two adults, and our young child) had an amazing ATV and buggy tour with 506 Tours! Gustavo was an incredible guide—funny, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. He made sure everyone in our group felt comfortable while sharing interesting facts and stories throughout the tour.
The beaches we visited were absolutely beautiful, and the ride itself was a perfect mix of adventure and sightseeing.
If you’re looking for a fun, family-friendly adventure in Costa Rica, we highly recommend 506 Tours. Ask for Gustavo, you won’t be disappointed!

My ATV experience in Costa Rica was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of my trip! If you’re planning to do this adventure, there are a few things you should know: do not wear your good shoes — you will get muddy! The mud, rocky roads, and off-road trails are all part of what makes the experience so much fun, so come prepared to get a little dirty.
The adventure takes you through some of the most beautiful landscapes Costa Rica has to offer, including breathtaking beaches and scenic trails. Along the way, we even spotted wildlife, including monkeys, which made the experience even more memorable. You’ll ride through a mix of terrain — from rocky paths to muddy roads — making it exciting the entire way.
The instructors were outstanding! They were professional, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident before heading out. They took the time to match each person with a vehicle that was easy to handle and suited their comfort level. Throughout the ride, they were attentive, making sure everyone was safe, aware of the conditions, and having a great time.
This was more than just an ATV ride — it was an adventure that allowed us to experience the beauty and nature of Costa Rica up close. If you’re visiting Costa Rica, this is absolutely a must-do activity. Come ready for fun, mud, amazing views, and an unforgettable experience!

We had an amazing ATV adventure in Costa Rica! The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable throughout the experience. The ride was the perfect length—long enough to enjoy the adventure without feeling rushed or exhausted. The scenery along the route was beautiful, with stunning views that showcased the natural beauty of Costa Rica. One of the highlights was stopping at a wonderful local bar, which was the perfect place to relax and take in the atmosphere. Overall, it was a fun, well-organized excursion that we would highly recommend!

Our family recently took this ATV tour, and it was easily one of the best experiences we had in Costa Rica!
If you are looking for a thrilling, high-speed adventure, this is definitely the tour to book. We absolutely loved riding through the rugged back roads and exploring the stunning, secluded beaches around Tamarindo that we never would have found on our own.
A Huge Shoutout to Our Guide!
Gustavo was excellent! He was knowledgeable, safe, and made sure everyone in the family was having a blast from start to finish. His energy really made the day special.
We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. Whether you're an experienced rider or a beginner, it’s an unforgettable way to see the beautiful Costa Rican landscape. 10/10!

The tour allows you see and explore a wide area of the town adjacent to Taramindo. There were areas off the beaten path of large touristy town. The ride was full of hills, sand, rain and mud, as well as some cool stops along the way. The staff was great! I highly recommend for family and friends.

This was such a fun experience and Fernando was an amazing guide! We stopped at two different beaches for 15-20 minutes. Both beaches were beautiful and had bars close by that you could grab a drink to cool down. You will want to bring something to cover your face or they have bandanas you can purchase for $5. I wore sunglasses and did get a lot of dirt in my eyes because the roads were very dry. They provide goggle that you should wear.
The trip was well organized with pick up and drop off back at our resort. Highly recommend!

This was great. We went with a group of 10 and couples shared atv’s. It was lots of fun. Seeing so much of the back streets and they took us to two beautiful beaches. We went in mid May which was still dry season so it was super dusty. The guides were great and kept us safe and on track.

Fun and exciting for my 16 old son and his friends and for myself and adult friends. Our guides were great! Visiting the private, secluded beach was our favorite part.
Make sure you purchase or bring something to cover nose and mouth. It is very dusty during the dry season. This was the kids favorite activity of the trip.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re really happy to hear that both the teens and adults had such a great time—that’s exactly what we aim for. It’s awesome that the secluded beach was a highlight for you, it’s definitely a special spot.
We also appreciate the tip about the dust during dry season—that’s very helpful for future guests to know. And we’ll make sure to pass along your kind words to our guides, they’ll love hearing it.
We’re glad it was the kids’ favorite activity of the trip, and we’d love to have you all back for another adventure soon!
Harmony_N, Apr 2026
The secluded beaches we visited were beautiful! The kids loved playing in the waves. We saw two families of howler monkeys during the tour.
There is a photographer who follows the group to take pictures, but you have to pay if you want the images. Bring a face covering (or buy one there for $5). It’s very dusty! You, your clothes, and your belongings will be covered in dust, so it’s helpful to wear old clothes and bring a trash bag to put your backpack in.

The whole trip was well organized right from our pick up to our drop off.For our family we got a ATV and a UTV.My teenage son 17 was able to comfortably manuver the UTV .The drive was adventurous through country roads and a stop at the beach. You are for sure going to get covered in dirt.
Our guide hellmar focussed on safety and kept checking on the group at all times.He gave a brief intro about the topography and animals that we spotted enroute. At the end of the trip we were served with cut pineapple which was quite refreshing after the long drive.
There was a tad bit of delay with our return and the owner Vanessa personally dropped us back at the hotel.

This was great!! I loved seeing local Costa Rican neighborhoods on back roads. We even drove through a small creek! The tour guide, Hilmar was great, very friendly and clear on the at we should expect. We got to see one of the most beautiful beaches also, which was a treat. It’s dusty, and you will need to shower afterward. Bring a bandana.

Be prepared if you booked a UTV that you’re expecting to have a cover for shade- some of them do not have a cover over the top. Bring a buff or they charge you $5 a person. Our guide was good but not sure I would recommend the company when they falsely advertise a different UTV that they offer (not the guides fault).

Our group of six people had a fun time on this excursion. The ATV's were in good condition. The guides were friendly and fun. They took us to several beaches and it was fun driving through typical Costa Rican neighborhoods. This was well worth the money and I would do it again. A few in our group said it was their favorite thing they did on our trip.
