Incredible experience with gorgeous views.
Such a great experience, especially for my sons (ages 24 and 22). The trail was a lot of fun and the beaches were incredible. We've never seen views that beautiful.

Not private course and dangerous
I am experienced in driving ATV’s but there is no private course for this particular company which is dangerous for non experienced drivers. The description stated private course but it is in fact on public streets and neighborhoods. There are a lot of curves where cars, motorcycles and other motorized vehicles would come at you. Many drivers were cautious at curves but more were quite careless. We were in a group of 7 and the guide often lost sight of the 3-4 people at the end of the line. At one point cows were in the road but the guide kept going not realizing the last couple in the group did not see everyone turn and they went straight so the guide had to go get them. On the way back to the start point we were going through a winding dirt road (most all the roads were dirt with loose gravel) and a car came around the curve so fast it ran most of the group within inches of a ditch and myself completely off the road causing the ATV to fall on me. My friend had to get the guide bc he was so far ahead he saw nothing. After my friends got the ATV off of me the guide showed up asking if we wanted to ride back or he could call for a truck to get me. At this point i was in so much pain i could not move my neck or back. Luckily police happen to drive by and helped us get medical attention. The guide first told the police all was fine but we understand and speak enough Spanish to tell the police I was not fine and needed medical assistance. We called our friend who stayed at the hotel to speak with police bc he is fluent and a dr so he could explain what happened. They called an ambulance but while waiting the police told us the ATV’s would not likely pass inspection. When the ambulance came there was a dr with them and he recommended a CT due to my symptoms. The owner said insurance would cover the community hospital and there is no imaging there. We chose the hour plus ambulance ride to the private hospital which we paid all out of pocket. We do have the travelers insurance so should be reimbursed later but that ruined a good part of my trip as I was in extreme pain the rest of the time. My advice is to speak to the operator to know if their vehicles are inspected and up to code (get proof) and make sure whatever the course is (public or private) you are prepared for it. The drivers in Costa Rica don’t follow rules of the road. The friends behind me who saw the whole accident said the car kept coming at me even after seeing the other ATV’s get so close to the ditch. The car was within a couple feet of hitting me when I ran into the ditch and up the hill next to it.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. First and foremost, we are truly sorry that you were injured during your tour, and we sincerely hope that you have made a full recovery and are able to enjoy your normal activities again. We would, however, like to clarify a few important points regarding your review. Regarding the “private course”, we have carefully reviewed the description of this tour on the booking platform and on our other published channels. The tour description does not state that the route takes place on a private course or on private property. The itinerary clearly indicates the areas and locations included in the tour. We are therefore concerned about the reference to a “private course,” as this is not something our published description promises. Regarding the accident itself, we completely understand how frightening and painful the situation must have been. The actions of another driver on a public road are unfortunately something that neither our company nor our guide can fully control. We are very sorry that this reckless driving resulted in your ATV leaving the road and causing you to be injured. We would also like to clarify what happened regarding the medical assistance. Our guide immediately contacted our office after becoming aware of the incident, and we took steps to arrange transportation to a nearby private medical facility. Unfortunately, the situation was complicated by the involvement of the police ( also The police arrived by chance—that is, they were driving toward the beach and happened upon the incident) and their decision to wait for an ambulance rather than allow you to be transported immediately by our vehicle. It is also important to clarify that we were the ones who contacted a private ambulance, because we were informed that a public ambulance could take considerably longer to arrive. We understand that you needed medical attention as quickly as possible, and our intention throughout the situation was to help you receive that care. There was also a misunderstanding regarding the condition and documentation of our ATV. When the Traffic Police later inspected the vehicle, its required documentation was confirmed to be up to date. We take the safety and legal compliance of our vehicles very seriously, and our vehicles and insurance are maintained according to the applicable requirements. We also want to make clear that we do not dismiss your concerns regarding safety. We continuously remind our guides to maintain control of the group and to prioritize the safety of every participant. Your comments regarding group spacing and visibility are therefore being taken seriously and will be reviewed with our team. At the same time, it is important to distinguish between the risks associated with riding an ATV on public roads and an accident caused by the unexpected and unsafe actions of another road user. Our tours take place in areas where other vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians, animals, and changing road conditions may be present. This is why we always provide safety instructions before the tour and require participants to follow the guide's instructions. We are genuinely sorry that this incident affected your vacation and that you experienced significant pain afterward. That is certainly not the experience we want any of our guests to have. We would be happy to communicate with you directly and provide documentation regarding our vehicles, insurance, and the information surrounding the incident. Our goal is not to argue with you, but to make sure that the facts are accurately represented and that any misunderstandings can be clarified. We sincerely wish you a complete recovery and appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention.

ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.
How much does ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $85 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 ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach 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 Tamarindo is not rushed.
Is ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 464 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Tamarindo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach?
+
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 and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach 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 and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach?
+
Around 162 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach 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.
What is included in ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach?

Not included: Food and drinks; Gratuities; Souvenir photos (available to purchase); and Bandanas. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 43 listed pickup locations in and around Tamarindo. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time.
What languages is ATV and UTV Beach Tour from Tamarindo, Flamingo and Conchal Beach offered in?
