We had such a fun time on...
We had such a fun time on our ATV tour! Gustavo was our guide, and he was absolutely great. He was funny, easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable from the beginning. The whole experience was relaxed and fun, and he made sure we were having a good time throughout the entire ride. We got to stop at two beautiful beaches, stop at a restaurant, and enjoy some drinks along the way. It was such a fun way to explore Costa Rica and see more of the area. It actually started raining during our ride, but honestly, that just made the experience even more memorable! We didn’t let the rain stop us from having a great time. 😂 I would definitely recommend this ATV tour to anyone visiting Costa Rica! Gustavo was an awesome guide, and the combination of riding, beautiful beach stops, good food, drinks, and lots of laughs made this an experience we won’t forget. If you’re looking for something fun and adventurous to do, definitely add this to your Costa Rica itinerary! 🇨🇷❤️

So much fun!
We did so many activities durning our 5 day visit to Costa Rica but this ATV tour was the BEST. Juan was so nice and fun as our guide. He took a bunch of photos and videos of us. Very good photographer! 😀 Fun 2 hr ride through different terrains and stopped at 3-4 gorgeous secluded beaches. Thank you to Juan and the whole team! 🤙🏼

ATV secluded beach tour fun!
What fun! Don’t delay! Book this tour! Our tour guide Jason from 506 Transfers & Tours was great, very safe and knowledgeable! We thoroughly enjoyed our 2hr tour seeing the “back side” more raw view of Costa Rica while loving the two stops at Puerto Viejo and my favorite Bahia Piratas! What fun to each drive our own ATV through the back roads and experience these amazing secluded beaches and bars! The fresh pineapple at the end of the tour was a welcomed sweet treat! I highly recommend this tour for all groups and ages!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for choosing 506 Transfers & Tours! We’re thrilled to hear you had a 5-star experience, and it was our pleasure to make your stay unforgettable. We hope to welcome you back sometime in the future. Safe travels and see you again soon

Why this scores 91
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
ATV or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.
How much does ATV or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels 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 or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 91 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 926 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tamarindo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule ATV or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels?
+
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 or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels 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 or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels?
+
Around 324 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 or Buggy Guided Tour from Tamarindo, Conchal or RIU Hotels 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 Sunset Catamaran & Snorkeling Tour in Playa Flamingo, Sunday Funday Tamarindo Party Bus - Beach and Pool Crawl, ATV Beach and Mountain Tour. 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.
