This adventure begins riding towards the mountain country side on mixed paved, gravel and dirt roads through different sceneries including hills, ocean views, cattle fields, small creeks, rivers, forest with diverse vegetation, small rural towns and other beautiful attractions that reflect the real traditional Costa Rican living. There is a 5-minute walk to the waterfall on a jungle like trail, beautifully adorned with green vegetation and tall trees. The waterfall is about 30ft high and perfect for jumping into its natural pool. For those who rather not to jump off, they can just relax and swim in its refreshing waters. After some time in the waterfall, we stop at El Tigre Sightseeing for some pictures of the stunning panoramic views. The sightseeing has a typical restaurant operated by locals, which provides a great opportunity to buy some drinks, snacks or typical meals while you contemplate the views and enjoy the cool mountain breeze.

3 Hour ATV Medium Waterfall Tour (Swimmable Pool): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puntarenas.
How much does 3 Hour ATV Medium Waterfall Tour (Swimmable Pool) cost?
+
Prices start at $100 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puntarenas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 3 Hour ATV Medium Waterfall Tour (Swimmable Pool) take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puntarenas is not rushed.
Is 3 Hour ATV Medium Waterfall Tour (Swimmable Pool) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 459 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Puntarenas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hour ATV Medium Waterfall Tour (Swimmable Pool)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 3 Hour ATV Medium Waterfall Tour (Swimmable Pool) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 3 Hour ATV Medium Waterfall Tour (Swimmable Pool)?
+
Around 161 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puntarenas can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puntarenas and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Hour ATV Medium Waterfall Tour (Swimmable Pool) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puntarenas within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puntarenas?
+
On Outty we rank every Puntarenas experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tortuga Island Tour with Costa Cat, Turtle Island, from Puntarenas, snorkeling and lunch included!, Half day surf and adventure in Montezuma. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puntarenas?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puntarenas?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
