    Maybe try another place

    The activity was unorganized outside of the actual ATV ride. I started reaching out the afternoon before to confirm pickup time and just plans overall. I did not receive a response until less than 1 hour before time for the activity. I used Viator, cell phone text message and could not use WhatsApp because it wasn't set up for the number. They confirmed pickup through one message only telling me to come outside the gate at the time because the property I was on did not allow outside pickups. That is false. I even sent a message back saying that we would come outside but that my property was okay with outside pickups. This was the second inconvenience, being made to walk the steep hill out and in. We get to the van, there is this extra slippery covering over the whole van which is okay but no warning whatsoever. The driver simply throws the door open and has us get in. This was how the whole trip went with him opening doors, standing wayyy back and providing no explanations of anything. The ATV tour was pretty good. Due to dry season, there were only two quick babbling streams to go thru, everything else was dry areas. They did range in complexity and offered some fun. Got a chance to stop at a local Mart that was very nice. And then here comes the driver again. I am still battling this slick floor and a sore knee that can't get comfortable because I'm sliding everywhere. So we pass a farmacia and I'm thinking of coming back out for something for my right leg. The two other ladies get off somewhere I don't recognize and they said for us to have a good day and start to walk across street. The driver says, do you want souvenir? I see it's a souvenir store and the first thing the driver has said to us since pick up. I say farmacia trying to piece together something but the driver yells no and SLAMS the van door. Seriously! Gets in and drives us to our place, no other words. First time that I did not tip all weekend and I wish I knew his name to personalize this review but he never gave us that either. And now that I've had time to reflect, the seats were muddy and the floors were wet so someone got the muddy experience, just not our group.

    We finally saw monkeys!!

    Our guide Alfredo was the best! We left his location with clear instructions and were off quickly. He never rushed us, even when we got stuck! He just said, “part of the adventure”. Great attitude and he stopped to show us Howler Monkeys. We stopped of for refreshments at a tilapia farm where they had goats, chickens, horses, piglets, and cows to interact with. The people of Sardinian were fantastic. Not to worry, they take cards and Apple Pay. Highly recommend this tour.

    Bachelorette Party

    This was amazing! You definitely get your money’s worth with this experience. We had a great time seeing animals, locals, and also going through tough terrain! I would highly recommend this experience for anyone looking to ride ATVs. The tour guides were great and very funny, which made the experience even better. I would definitely do this again.

    ATV adventure from Riu, Secrets and papagayo: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does ATV adventure from Riu, Secrets and papagayo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $90 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 ATV adventure from Riu, Secrets and papagayo 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 Playa Hermosa is not rushed.

    Is ATV adventure from Riu, Secrets and papagayo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 46 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Hermosa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule ATV adventure from Riu, Secrets and papagayo?

    +

    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 ATV adventure from Riu, Secrets and papagayo 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 ATV adventure from Riu, Secrets and papagayo?

    +

    Around 16 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does ATV adventure from Riu, Secrets and papagayo 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 La Leona waterfall adventure hike half day, White Water River Rafting Class III-IV from La Fortuna-Arenal, Guachipelin Zipline, River Tubing, Horseback Ride, Hot springs & Lunch Combo. 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.
