Secluded Beach ATV Adventure

Staff were extremely friendly and very punctual. We got to stop at 3 different beaches and swim while riding in a UTV in between spots

Great fun for the whole family. The beaches were beautiful. We were not experienced with ATVs so the guide was patient with our group. Our only wish was that we could have stayed longer at the beaches.

The absolute best thing we did in Tamarindo. The guide was excellent and the tour was so fun. At Playa Viejo, we saw the howler monkeys. We brought along 2 kids (14, 18) and everyone had an absolute blast. 10/10 recommend. Would absolutely do again.

I booked this tour for my family for our trip to Costa Rica. I was asked by the guide if I wanted to make the trip private so we could take our time and they would even provide snorkel gear. He told me how much more it would be and a day later I said ok. After I said “ok”, he told me the price he gave me was wrong and then almost doubled it. I should have tried to cancel the tour right then and there, but we were eager to go. When I finally worked it out with them (still more than they originally said), and paid the extra for the private session, he told us to arrive at 8:45 am when on Viator the arrival time said 8:30 am for a 3 hour tour. When we got to the place, our guide was nothing special - no personality very little english and no conversation on the ride. Each time we stopped he seemed bored and anxious to leave. Additionally, there was no snorkel gear as previously promised. Overall, we felt rushed at the stops and that the guide really didn’t have much interest in anything other than getting back. On the way home we drove so fast that It was obvious he had other people after us. We arrived back at 11:20 am instead of 11:30. I know the amount of time may seem minimal, but for already arriving late and paying just under $1,000 for this excursion made me really annoyed that I wasn’t getting what I paid for. Overall, the idea of this tour is great and the beaches were nice if we had a little more time to enjoy them. This tour company was nothing special and honestly, I feel like I was taken advantage of. I am sure there are other tour companies in the area that would do a better job than this one.

What made this a 4 instead of lower is the company, a mother-daughter duo, who were also on the tour with us. First, the equipment was in great condition. Pick-up and drop off at our hotel was seamless. Since the confirmation indicated bandanas would be available for purchase, I was looking forward to that, especially since the weather had been very dry. We've done tours throughout the Caribbean and the operators ALWAYS provide eye and face protection, so this was a disappointment. I communicated this to the guide and he didn't seem to care at all. I understand everyone has to make a living and that is the only reason this review is still a 4.
