Great fun! Good Value!
Great fun! We saw parts of the country we would not have been able to. Enjoyed the ATVs, which are in great shape. Guides were wonderful. Do not expect a smooth ride. This is an ATV tour.

Best Activities in Costa Rica is not to be trusted!
First, the reason we booked this tour is because we wanted the Dbl yellow ATV scooter as shown on their picture. Unfortunately, this turned out to be false and a nightmare. We were robbed! On August 21, we made the ATV tour reservation online with Best Activities Costa Rica and paid with CC. On the day of the tour on September 5th, we were told by this "Pura Vida Gentleman" Alonso, that they could not find our reservation. We showed them our reservation confirmation and payment confirmation. Powered by Peek Payment ID: PMT-QE7WXZG Transaction ID: TXN-7739BKY Order ID: O-R5RAR85 After 10 minutes, with their "Pura Vida Charm", Alonso told me not to worry because they found the reservation through some company that do oversee their online payments and that they were having issues with that company. By then we were not paying attention, because we just came to do our ATV tour and enjoy our vacation. And were not interested in the companies internal issues with their Fintech company. Next, Alonso offered us, on the spot and because it was taking too long, a better price - $300.00 for the tour. And that what we paid initially $519.00 would be refunded back on our credit card within a couple of days. We took them on the offer and approved the refund. We received confirmation within minutes that the amount of 519.00 is on hold to be refunded. Alonso next went and charged the new discounted price offered. We went on our ATV tour, unfortunately the DBL turned out to be a single, and not the one shown on their picture. The seat was burning hot and extremely uncomfortable. After returning home last week we noticed that we did not receive a refund from Best Activities. We went back and forth with WhatsApp and emails for 1 week. one company blames the other for having to do the refund. We filed a claim against Best Activities Costa Rica, and we are waiting for the claim with the credit card company. In the meantime, Do Not trust this tour operator and do not book your ATV tour with Best Activities in La Fortuna, Costa Rica. This is Not "Pura Vida"!

This group was fantastic. Marcela and our crew were very detail oriented. They allowed us to see amazing views and jungle terrain. The ATV and hike was awesome. The hot springs could not have been better.

Arenal Volcano Lava Flows ATV TOUR: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does Arenal Volcano Lava Flows ATV TOUR cost?
+
Prices start at $196 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Arenal Volcano Lava Flows ATV TOUR take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is Arenal Volcano Lava Flows ATV TOUR worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 39 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Arenal Volcano Lava Flows ATV TOUR?
+
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 Arenal Volcano Lava Flows ATV TOUR suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Arenal Volcano Lava Flows ATV TOUR?
+
Around 1 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 La Fortuna 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 La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Arenal Volcano Lava Flows ATV TOUR 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 La Fortuna 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 La Fortuna?

On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. 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 La Fortuna?
+
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 La Fortuna?
+
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.
