Amazing experience!
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.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear that your family had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful beaches. It’s wonderful to hear that our guide was patient and supportive. We truly appreciate your feedback about wanting more time at the beaches and will keep it in mind as we continue improving the experience. Thank you for choosing to adventure with us.

ATV Tour Was So Fun!
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.
Response from the operator: We’re thrilled to hear that this was the highlight of your time in Tamarindo! It’s wonderful to know that the whole family, including the kids, had such a fun and memorable experience. Seeing the howler monkeys is always a special moment, and we’re glad you had the opportunity to enjoy them in their natural environment. We’ll also be sure to share your kind words with our guide. Thank you for the 10/10 recommendation and for choosing Native’s Way. We’d love to welcome you and your family back for another adventure! Pura Vida, Native's Way

ATV Adventure-less
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.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. After seeing your review, we carefully reviewed your booking and the details of what occurred. During our review, we identified a system error that resulted in an incorrect upgrade price being initially quoted. While the corrected price was communicated before the upgrade was confirmed and payment was made, we still wanted to make this right. We would also like to clarify that snorkeling was not included in the original tour description or on your tour ticket. It was offered as a complimentary addition for our guests. Although the snorkeling activity was not provided, we included it in our refund consideration. However, it was not part of the additional payment made to upgrade your experience to a private tour. As a gesture of goodwill, we processed a partial refund covering the difference between the original upgrade price quoted and the amount ultimately paid, as well as consideration for the snorkeling gear that was not provided. We understand that you requested a larger refund. However, as explained, the remaining services included in your reservation were provided in full, including the private guide and private tour experience. For this reason, we were unfortunately unable to provide the additional reimbursement requested. We truly value our guests and always strive to provide a positive experience. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to review this situation, as it helps us identify areas where we can improve our service and communication. Pura Vida, Native's Way

3 Hour ATV Secluded Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal & Grande: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.
How much does 3 Hour ATV Secluded Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal & Grande cost?
+
Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tamarindo 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 Secluded Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal & Grande 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 Tamarindo is not rushed.
Is 3 Hour ATV Secluded Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal & Grande worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 67 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tamarindo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hour ATV Secluded Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal & Grande?
+
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 Secluded Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal & Grande 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 Secluded Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal & Grande?
+
Around 23 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 Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 3 Hour ATV Secluded Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo, Conchal & Grande 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 Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo?
+
On Outty we rank every Tamarindo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Surf Lesson in Tamarindo - Stand Up or Your Money Back!, Sunset Catamaran & Snorkeling Tour in Playa Flamingo, Fundive Catalina Islands (2 dives, only for certified divers). 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 Tamarindo?
+
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 Tamarindo?
+
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.
