    BEST ATV excursion ever.

    This was, by far, the best ATV excursion that we've been on (and we've been on quite a few in various places). We were not rushed and stopped every so often to watch and listen to Howler monkeys and saw one of the biggest snakes that I've every seen (and I live in Mississippi lol). The place is actually a rescue and sanctuary for various monkeys so we were able to see other types of monkeys as well, some in very large enclosed habitats and others just hanging around.

    Response from the operator: Wonderful review, thank you, we always travel at the client's pace and provide the best ATV tour possible. We are happy that you recognized this and it's great that you saw some of the multitude of animals that are not in a cage. That's one of the many things that makes Costa Rica so special. We have 4 species of monkeys and both two & three toed sloths, 915 species of birds & there are more than 500,000 total species of animals in the country, approximately 4% of the total estimated species worldwide. Thank you for the review & enjoy some of our other tours if you have the time. Pura Vida

    True ATV'ing

    There is little description about this activity and we saw different tours going through Playa Flamingo and other areas, but this one has its own grounds located close to Diamonte Eco Park (which also has atv's). This course is pretty challenging and really fun. You will get dusty and dirty, so make sure you bring a gaiter or bandana, or purchase one at their shop before you ride. The atv's were all good and new and the guide (Miguel) was awesome. You will get a water break...and you will need it. Other than not knowing where we were going and the tour time change at the last minute (we were scheduled for 1pm and then changed to a 215 pick up from the hotel), this is the atv tour to take for people who want to do atv stuff. If you want to ride an atv through the city, go somewhere else. I highly recommend this tour for those who want a true atv experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Anthony. We appreciate you taking your time to critique our ATV tour. I will let Miguel know you were pleased with his service, You are correct, this is not a drive through downtown and we are so glad you enjoyed it. Sorry about the pick up time, it's rare that that happens but sometimes there are circumstances beyond our control, like flat tire, creek overflowing etc. (part of the adventure) You are right about the bandana, particularly in the green or rainy season. Hope you will have time to try some of our other adventure tours. Thank you again and Pura Vida.

    Excellent throughout…...

    Excellent throughout… Timely pick-up. Perfect ride, highly recommend. Friendly staff and enjoyable time.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Mark, that's what we try to do every day and we appreciate you letting others know. It is a "feel good" for us, Thanks again, best regards & Pura Vida.

    A little dust but ALOT of fun!

    We had an amazing time with Jose. We drove for 2 hours through trails and hills, seeing everything from monkeys to horses and cows. We stopped at a beautiful waterfall and then drove through a small river! We got very dusty (they provide a facecovering!) and had such a good time.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Lauren, we too think Jose is the best and we are very happy that you enjoyed our ATV tour and appreciate the great description. It is the dry season and that's the reason for the dust. Hopefully you will have time to enjoy some of our other tours. Thank you again and Pura Vida.

    Our guide was nice and...

    Our guide was nice and helpful. A little slow but still fun. Good for families with kids and those wanting a slower experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you Kerri for your review of our ATV tour. I'm happy that our guide was "nice & helpful" as that is really important when we have families. We try and measure out the proper speed for the group and go no faster than the slowest participant but fun is the big factor and we are pleased that you all had fun. Please try some more of our adventure tours when you have the opportunity. Thank you again and Pura Vida.

    ATV Tour from Guanacaste: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does ATV Tour from Guanacaste cost?

    +

    Prices start at $65 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 from Guanacaste 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 Tour from Guanacaste worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Playa Hermosa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule ATV Tour from 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 from Guanacaste 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 Tour from Guanacaste?

    +

    Around 11 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 Tour from 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 from Guanacaste?

Not included: Transportation from hotels outside the Playa Hermosa, Playas del Coco and Playa Ocotal are; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 28 listed pickup locations in and around Playa Hermosa.

    +
