I would like to first say I have had two ATV tours with this company. The first one was 2 years ago and it was amazing. We had the best time of our life. We came back and decided to do it again. This time it was not as good. The first time the length of the ride and walk was about an hour longer. The biggest complaint I have is the ATV ride changed dramatically from what it was 2 years ago. You use to go through the palm oil fields then down into the river and ride along and through the river. It was about an hour to get to the parking for the nature hike. That part was amazing. You got wet and it was so fun and gave you thrills. It was so much fun. NOW all they do is a quick 30 min ride at most through the boring palm orchards.with no thrills. To get to the nature hike. There is no real adventure here or expierence of really riding an ATV. You are just on a gravel road basically. Last time The guide stoped and showed us plants and animals on the ATV ride. This time nothing. The nature hike was pretty much the same and very nice and beautiful. When I asked the tour guide about why we don’t go along the river anymore, he stated the owner/boss of the company no longer wants them to do it. This time I felt like the tour was rushed. Also there were 12 people in this group which last time there was only 4. I think part of the problem was allowing that many customers to book at one time. I get it it’s a buisness but we were going so slow and it was so boring and I think part of that was to the number of riders. You had two guides so a suggestion could be break up the groups and go 20 mins apart or something. I would be happy if they offered a more thrilling ride with less people even if it cost more. But what we got last time and then this time was completely different. The $105 rate is no longer worth it in my opinion. It was defiantly worth it last time and would even pay more. The ATV portion of the tour they are now offering is very boring. I would recommend not going with this company until they bring back the river portion of the ride. If they do that hands down 5 stars Again. I would call and ask them if that is happening before you book! Please bring it back. If you do we will totally go...
Read moreRiding ATVs in the jungle was one of the highlights of our Costa Rican honeymoon!! Our guide, Alex was amazing. His charismatic but laid back energy was exactly what you’re looking for in a tour guide. He was very concise in our training of how to drive the vehicles but very accommodating to whoever needed some extra help. After a little practice, we were off on an unforgettable ride through dirt trails, palm forests and Costa Rican jungle.
After several miles of riding, we dismounted our ATV’s and set off on foot through a beautiful forest trail. Our short journey on foot led us through footbridges, streams, lush tropical landscapes and the occasional waterfall. Even had a few animal encounters along the way(nothing hazardous). After spending a few minutes eating some pineapple that Alex handed out and getting our feet wet at a lovely oasis, we hiked back to the ATVs.
The ride back to camp was just as fun as the voyage in. Even though anyone can handle the entire ATV trail with little to no experience, there was plenty of variety and exciting terrain for even the most adventurous thrill seekers.
Once we got back to base camp, we were treated to a delicious Costa Rican lunch and iced tea that definitely hit the spot. This tour was by far one of me and my wife’s favorite memories of Costai Rica. It was safe, riveting and very culturally immersive. Would...
Read moreWhat can I say, this was a 10/10 experience! Well worth the money! They picked us up from our hotel on time, then travelled around 25mins to the place where we ride the quad bikes. We had the tour guide called Oscar who was great fun and really friendly, he gave us a test ride on the quad bikes before hand they are really easy to use! We had a 2 person quad bike which was great fun to be able to have a laugh together on it and share the driving. We drove for around 40mins to a stop off where we were given a snack and water, then walked around 5mins to the waterfall where some people on the trip had a little jump in, then walked back to the bikes after around 25mins maybe. As we were sharing a quad bike we changed who drove back the way back so we both got to have ago, the drive back was a slightly shorter ride but was still a good amount of driving, oscar took us through different kind of terrain, we had ago at driving through water which was a great laugh! Once we arrived back at the start point, we were given a very delicious dinner and ice tea drink, the chicken rice was one of the best rice's I've ever had! - this experience was one of the best things I've done on holiday, I highly recommend...
