I experienced the adrenaline of the 1968 Arenal ATV tour! Explore rainforest, impact craters and enjoy unforgettable views of the majestic Arenal Volcano. Our ATV Tour stands out for being an accessible and exciting experience, touring some of the largest craters originated by the great eruption of 1968, entering the jungle in search of wildlife and spectacular views of the volcano. All this with a special touch of adrenaline on certain sections of a 10-kilometer trail, specially designed to offer an exclusive and unforgettable experience. During the tour we will offer you a bottle of water and make a strategic stop for you to enjoy a tropical fruit dish while you take in some of the best views of the area.

Epic
Epic! Best tour and best guide ever. Worth the money. Oliver was the best guide
via Tripadvisor
Best experience!
This tour was absolutely incredible! Our tour guide, Oliver, was very knowledgeable about plants and the area. He would stop and tell us about different things and took us to the best scenic spots. Our favorite part of the tour was toward the end of the ride where he shared a very exclusive location that had us all in awe!
via Tripadvisor
Adventurous and beautiful
We went early off season so it was a semi private tour. Marcos was great, very patient with us beginners. Only one or two sections were difficult to manage. I read a lot of other tour reviews, this one was 90% off road, in the jungle and fields. Others say their tours was a lot of pavement. not here. It was great!

Highlight of Our Arenal Trip!
We had an incredible ATV tour in Arenal with Oliver as our guide! From start to finish, the experience was an absolute blast. Oliver was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and comfortable while still keeping the adventure exciting. He shared so much interesting information about the area, wildlife, and local history, which made the ride even more enjoyable. The scenery was absolutely stunning, with lush rainforest, beautiful waterfalls, and incredible viewpoints. Every stop was worth it, and the ATV ride itself was so much fun! This was one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica, and we loved every minute of it. If you’re visiting Arenal, we highly recommend this tour!

Must do in La Fortuna/arenal.
This was so much fun and a must do if you are in La Fortuna. Oliver was a wonderful guide, pointing out so many cool things. He is clearly very knowledgeable and loves his country! We got to spend some time on otherwise privately owned land where we took a break, had some delicious local fruit and got to enjoy a private water area. If you are considering doing an activity in La fortuna/arenal area this comes Highly recommend!

ATV Tour Quad Crater Impact and Forest Arenal Volcano: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does ATV Tour Quad Crater Impact and Forest Arenal Volcano cost?
+
Prices start at $113 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Fortuna 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 Quad Crater Impact and Forest Arenal Volcano take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour 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 La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is ATV Tour Quad Crater Impact and Forest Arenal Volcano worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 26 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Fortuna, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule ATV Tour Quad Crater Impact and Forest Arenal Volcano?
+
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 Quad Crater Impact and Forest Arenal Volcano suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book ATV Tour Quad Crater Impact and Forest Arenal Volcano?
+
Around 9 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 La Fortuna 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 La Fortuna and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does ATV Tour Quad Crater Impact and Forest Arenal Volcano 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 La Fortuna 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 La Fortuna?
+
On Outty we rank every La Fortuna experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Upper Balsa River White Water Rafting Class 3/4 in Costa Rica, White Water Rafting Class II and III, Authentic Coffee and Chocolate Tour at North Fields. 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 La Fortuna?
+
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 La Fortuna?
+
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.
