    Amazing Family excursion

    My husband, myself and our 3 year old son had the best time! We saw multiple beautiful beaches and amazing scenery! So fun! I love seeing the more cultural side of Costa Rica! 10/10!! We stayed at the Westin and it was 5 minute drive from there!

    See the REAL sights of Guanacaste

    We had an amazing time on this buggy side-by-side tour! The team picked us up right from the Westin resort, and from there we explored beautiful beaches, local neighborhoods, forest trails, and scenic backroads—it was the perfect way to see the real Costa Rica. They were especially kind and accommodating with our children, making the experience fun and easy for the whole family. They went out of their way to make sure we saw some Howler Monkeys. Highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to go beyond the resort and see the heart of the country with friendly, knowledgeable guides! Pura vida!

    Great experience for kids and adults

    We booked the UTV tour for my wife, kids and I. Everyone had a great time and would recommend. One member of our group hadn't seen monkeys while in Costa Rica and our tour guide made sure to find some for her.

    Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $300 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Flamingo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour 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 Flamingo is not rushed.

    Is Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa Flamingo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour?

    +

    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 Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour 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 Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour?

    +

    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 Flamingo 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 Flamingo and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour 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 Flamingo 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 Flamingo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Playa Flamingo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure, Adventure Pass, Playa Flamingo Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Lunch, Cocktails. 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 Flamingo?

    +

    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 Flamingo?

    +

    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 Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour?

    +

    Included: Goggles; and Bottled water. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 25 listed pickup locations in and around Playa Flamingo. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Buggy - Side by Side Family Tour offered in?

    +
