    Costa Rica off the Road Activity

    This was one of my best experiences with booking an excursion. Humberto was hands down amazing. He made sure my family had the best experience for them to remember. I highly recommend booking again.

    Aron the Big Papi is NOT amazing!

    My travel agent booked a PRIVATE side by side UTV tour for my husband and I. We were picked up at our hotel and was advised they were picking up another couple at a nearby hotel. We went on our tour and our tour guide was great. On our way back the other couple decided they wanted to stop for an Authentic Costa Rican lunch. My husband and I made it clear that it was our last day and we wanted to relax by the hotel/beach so we were not interested in lunch. The other couple basically verbally abused us saying that we suck! The host said nothing and assured us it would be a quick stop at a restaurant. We said ok if they can buy the food and we can be on our way. When we got there it was basically the lunch hour rush. My husband and I perused the souvenir shop and came back to the couple, our host and driver sitting and eating. I decided to get an uber to get us back to the hotel. I told them we have an uber coming so they can enjoy their lunch. The driver immediately got up and took us back to our hotel (leaving his food behind). We made our travel agent aware of the situation. We were never reimbursed, given an apology or even received the photos our guide took of us on the tour. What’s the use of booking a private tour with a company who cannot honor that. It’s all about the greed of money and not client satisfaction.

    Best Tour in Costa Rica EVER

    My fiancé and I came across Aron and The Big Papi Adventure Tour while we were staying at a resort in Liberia Costa Rica. The adventure we took was a private tour where the tour guide led us from jet skis, across the water to our next tour guide where we began our private tour guided ATV drive!! On our drive we saw monkeys, horses, cows, dogs, birds and so such breath taking scenery!! This tour was absolutely amazing!!! We even stopped for lunch at a local bodega, and head back. This tour was the BEST part of our trip. Our tour guides were welcoming and made us feel safe, made sure we had a good time AND even took pictures which were included in the price!!! Their price is wayyy better than anything our resort excursions recommended us. If you’re in the area and see their sign, BOOK WITH ARON!!! Their team is the best!!!!!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your trust. It is a pleasure for us to know that you enjoyed our service. Blessings always, and we are always at your service.

    Awesome experience! Use these guys!

    I found this guy on google vs. Paying the ridiculous price the tour guides near luxury resorts near papagayo wanted. I was very very impressed and we had such a memorable experience. I got a paypal invoice from the owner named "BIG PAPI." I thought that was great, it was the inside joke of the trip. He sent a great older gentleman Elizer to pick us up. Very very friendly. We kept joking "where is big papi?!" We left the luxury of the Andaz and headed 40 minutes south closer to the RIU. This being my third time in the area got to show my boyfriend some of the real costa rica through the drive. DO NOT BE DECEIVED BY THE DROP OFF LOCATION. It's no pretty storefront. They need to park their ATVs somewhere close to the route. This is traditional costa rica, behind a house, chickens and dogs roaming with ATVs parked and a few guys working on them. ALL VERY FRIENDLY. Elizer had us leave our stuff in his van for the 3 hour tour, no problems there. I wish I remembered our guides name! He was younger, 22 or 24 if i remember correct. I am a first time ATV rider, my boyfriend an expert dirtbiker so he was dealing with 2 different levels of experience. He was patient with me when i almost hit a car right out the driveway. After a quick recap of driving an ATV we were on our way. They take you through a little village road then on a route that we saw many ATVs returning from earlier tours. It was beautiful, real costa rica. You start at the bottom, go through rivers and streams, at the right time of year stop at a small waterfall and end up at the top of the mountain. Then back down. Took 3 hours and that included a pitstop for beer! Things you can't control and should be prepared for: the dust. We went in february dry season. I did NOT have a bandana to cover my face. I had dirt in my nose. I would still do it 10x over again. The mud! It wasn't bad for us in dry season but we had our sneakers on we needed to wear back to the freezing USA the following day. It's easy to lift your feet up and avoid mud, not the dust. Plan on bringing shoes you don't care about or can dry easily if they do get wet. WEAR A BATHING SUIT under your clothes incase you want to jump in the waterfall. The compartment is small, wear a waterproof phone case and pack a portable charger. The guide took GREAT videos for us. Left me at 0% and i left my charger with the driver. When we finished Elizer had wet towels for us to wash off the dirt. He had no problem stopping for coffee on the way back even encouraging us to get the "free coffee" Teo Leo has 😂 He got the BIG PAPI on the phone so we could compliment the experience we had. Costa rica is my favorite place and I plan on returning every year. I know next trip we will be using him again and hope we can bring my kids. If your near papagayo, skip out on those tours and call these guys. They really beat the jet skis and other tours ive been on.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, it's a pleasure to know that you liked our tour. You are nice people. We hope you come back soon to visit us in this beautiful little paradise.

    3 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa Hermosa.

    How much does 3 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia cost?

    +

    Prices start at $550 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Hermosa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 3 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia 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 Playa Hermosa is not rushed.

    Is 3 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Playa Hermosa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 3 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 3 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia 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 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia?

    +

    Around 3 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 Playa Hermosa 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 Playa Hermosa and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 3 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia 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 Playa Hermosa 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 Playa Hermosa?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Playa Hermosa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include White Water River Rafting Class III-IV from La Fortuna-Arenal, Guachipelin Zipline, River Tubing, Horseback Ride, Hot springs & Lunch Combo, 2 Hour Coffee & Chocolate Tour in Playas del Coco. 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 Playa Hermosa?

    +

    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 Playa Hermosa?

    +

    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.

    What is included in 3 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia?

    +

    Included: helmet; machine side by side; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: tips. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is 3 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 3 Hours Private side by side Off Road Activity in Liberia?

    +
