Great adventure
Had a great on the ATV tour with my husband and our 3 boys (9, 10 and 13). It was awesome to see the country side. We got to drive through what will be a river during wet season and even though it was dry season, there were still patches of water so that was really fun. Our guide even stopped and showed us some monkeys that were in the trees next to us. The tour included a little stop at a local market. It was great, the kids could refresh with a Gatorade while hubby and I had cervezas.
Response from the operator: We're delighted to hear that you and your family had such a memorable and enjoyable experience on the ATV tour. The mix of adventure and unique local encounters truly makes it special. We appreciate your kind words about the experience.

ATV Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.
How much does ATV Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon cost?
+
Prices start at $98 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 Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon 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 Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 43 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 ATV Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon?
+
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 Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon 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 Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon?
+
Around 15 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 Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon 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 Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon?
+
Included: Local guide; and Use of helmet. Not included: Food and drinks; and Pick up HOTELS from Playa Hermosa/ Coco beach. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does ATV Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 5 listed pickup locations in and around Tamarindo. Be ready about 25 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is ATV Mountain Tour From Riu Guanacaste or Nuevo Colon 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.
