    Snorkel and fishing tour from Dreams Las Mareas/ATV tour with rafting thru mangroves and lunch

    We stayed at Dreams Las Mareas for a week in Feb 2024, Tony Expeditions gave us a couple of real special days, we saw some really beautiful off-the-beaten-path parts of Guanacaste, Costa Rica, real private and personal…quiet mangrove rich in birds, beautiful wide open beaches where the mountains meet the bay, and an incredible restaurant overlooking Salinas bay with the freshest ceviche, and riding ATV’s made it all the more exciting. We went snorkeling and fishing, again Tony made it fun and exciting, both tours left right from the resort!

    The stop in town wasn’t worth the time. Over all the excursion was good.

    The length of time that we were riding. The knowledge of the guide. Well maintained ATV. Going to three beaches.

    Absolutely Amazing, Beautiful Experience

    We had the best couple ATV tour. Our tour guide was absolutely amazing. He showed us the most amazing, beautiful beaches and mountains. He explained the history of Costa Rica and the Dry Tropical Forrest of Costa Rica. Thank you so much for an awesome experience for our first trip to Costa Rica and making it that much more special. We will definitely be back!

    Great experience! Highly recommend Tony and his staff!

    Last week we did the ATV tour one day and a customized tour another day that included visiting a waterfall, river boat tour, and sloth tour. We also stopped for a delicious lunch. Tony, Roy, and the rest of Tony Expeditions staff were all very accommodating and created a great experience for us! We had a group of 16 people and they did everything they could to make it work for all of us. We had a really fun time and we would definitely recommend using them! Thank you Tony and staff!

    ATV Tour and Local History in Guanacaste: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does ATV Tour and Local History in Guanacaste cost?

    +

    Prices start at $125 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 Tour and Local History in Guanacaste take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.5 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 Tour and Local History in Guanacaste worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 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 Tour and Local History in Guanacaste?

    +

    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 Tour and Local History in Guanacaste suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book ATV Tour and Local History in Guanacaste?

    +

    Around 2 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 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does ATV Tour and Local History in Guanacaste 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.

    What is included in ATV Tour and Local History in Guanacaste?

    +

    Included: Include water, safety glasses, safety helmet, and policies. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does ATV Tour and Local History in Guanacaste include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Playa Hermosa. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is ATV Tour and Local History in Guanacaste 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.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for ATV Tour and Local History in Guanacaste?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is ATV Tour and Local History in Guanacaste wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to ATV Tour and Local History in Guanacaste if the weather is bad?

    +
