Jungle ATV Tours — Local services in Bahía Ballena

Jungle ATV Tours is and was the highlight of our entire trip! We rented single riders and we had a blast! Note: please make sure you are an experienced driver for singles. The terrain is rugged at times. If you are not so sure about riding by yourself, rent a side by side! But definitely do the tour!!!!! Our tour guide Alejandro was incredible! He was so super patient with all questions and made this trip truly unforgettable for us! Thank you Alejandro! The tour takes you up and down mountain ranges, through water and rocks and everything in between. Be prepared to be blown away by this tour! We saw sloths and monkeys and so much more! We stopped at Emilio's coffee farm and were warmly welcomed! Taste the freshest and most aromatic coffee ever! Served with homemade banana bread and locally sourced Cocoa. I have to mention Burrito and Pinto, two super friendly and cute dogs at the farm. Get all your puppy love and then ride on to more incredible scenery of beautiful Costa Rica Southern Pacific area. The waterfalls are very impressive and so is the lunch. The greatest and tastiest fruit all locally sourced. All of us( teens and adults) agreed: This was UNFORGETTABLE and the...

I was initially reluctant to take this tour with my family due to less enjoyable experiences at other places, but this was completely contrary. We went in the off-season, which may have allowed our guides, Guillermo and Alejandro more time than they might normally have to pay extra attention and offer us amazing insight into much of the rain, local plants, animals and history. They were very knowledgeable and trained in things that made it far more than just a 4x4 excursion. Another huge difference vs other tours of this type was the actual riding. This was no soft adventure. The trails/roads were fairly aggressive and the 4-wheel drive was absolutely necessary for half of the trip. If you are planning a visit to the Uvita area, this is a MUST DO if you’re even remotely interested. We saw howler monkeys, snakes, amazing fruit trees and other fauna, not to mention all the beautiful views of waterfalls and rivers. I would do this trip every time I come back. Don Emilio’s coffee farm was a bonus with the freshest, most organic coffee you can get. He sells it there for a very reasonable price but you must have...

So much fun! Tour guides are awesome and knowledgeable. You make 3 stops along your tour. 1st is a coffee cafe, you learn the process of how coffee is farmed and processed. Bonus is the fresh coffee you get to sample. You also have the opportunity to buy some coffee or souvenirs. 2nd stop is a view of the Whale's Tail, you have the chance to take beautiful pictures with it in the background. 3rd stop is a small waterfall. You have about 20 minutes to swim, take pictures or just enjoy nature. During this time the guides will prepare a nice fruit spread for all to enjoy, bottled water is also provided. We got rained on towards the end of our tour and we were soaked. But it made the experience tons of fun!! Highly recommend a waterproof bag for any personal items. You will get dirty and wet.

Con: If you're a adrenaline junkie, you won't have the opportunity to let loose if you have the need for speed. You will be escorted back if you don't follow the safety rules.

Overall, the experience was...
