Traveler reviews
UTV tour from Huacas to the beaches.
We started in Huacas in our 4 seater UTV. We drove through several rural villages on the way to the beaches and we were able to see rural Costa Rica. We did drive through a couple flooded areas in the road. We drove to Playa Real and Puerto Viejo. The beaches were very nice and we swam for a bit at each one. (We wore our swimsuits under our clothes.) It was an enjoyable tour. This is not an offroading experience.
Great Day..
Booked this excursion before our vacation. Better than expected. Lunch was phenomenal... Our guide was so guide and stopped along the way to point out animals along our trail. Highly recommend booking longer tour and have lunch at Bahia... Excellent view and food
Best Day Ever!!!
Our tour guy Gilbert was the best, got a private tour of few beaches along with pirates bay with our 4x4. Took us to the beach and got to drift the 4x4, awesome experience!! Now I have to bring the family back, very kids friendly and I recommend everyone to try Native Way tours. A++ will definitely do again.
Meh
If I’m being generous, the nicest summary I can give of our experience is “meh”. The descriptions and photographs promoting the tour by the operator and through Marriott Bonvoy were grossly exaggerated. When they write, “You will begin your experience driving through the beautiful dry tropical forest. By using back roads…” the emphasis is on back roads. >95% of the trip was on dirt roads, shared with normal traffic. Any images of UTVs driving through water are highly curated. In reality, the only water encountered were creeks crossing low points in the roads. Time at the beach was limited to 15 minutes and there was, definitely not enough time for snorkeling, as suggested on their trip advisor description.
Family friendly
Tour was fun. Family friendly. We rode a buggy since it was my sister and I. I’ve done other off road tours in other countries and it’s more extreme you actually drive a razor but this tour you get a buggy kinda like a golf cart. Speeds are moderate . They do take you to a couple beaches they are very pretty but you only have like 15-20 min. At each location. So not too much time to enjoy just take a few pictures, get your feet wet and leave. I suggest wear a swimsuit and backpack with a towel so you can take a quick swim at each place. Staff was friendly and helpful. Overall fun. Esteban was our guide , he was cool.
