Make Memories!
Our ATV tour in Costa Rica was absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of our entire trip. From start to finish, everything was very well organized , safe and so much fun. Special mention to our guide Tony- he truly was the best guide we had all week! His love for his homeland and desire to have every guest make wonderful memories was greatly appreciated!

Women driving Buggys
Us six women took the 4 hour tour with Pepe and had an absolutely great time. The scenery across the mountain and through the jungle was beautiful. Our first stop was a waterfall and it did not fail to impress. Pepe anticipated our needs and willingly took pictures, stopped a couple times so we could enjoy the scenery, use the facilities, and purchase refreshments. He made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout. I would highly recommend this tour as we laughed and thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

Fantastic views and experience
We had a blast. Pepe was fantastic. He did a great job giving directions and showing us the beautiful views. The hike to and from waterfall was small and perfect. Bring water shoes. It is dusty but they provide goggles which I would recommend wearing. You could bring an extra if you don’t want dusty face. But it still was perfect.

Awesome Tour
This was a great experience. Pepe was a great guide and showed our family a lot of wonderful sights and more. We highly recommend when in Jaco do a buggy tour.

What a fun day!
This was such a fun tour! It was raining when we started but it stopped part way through. It worked for us because it kept the dust down. Our guide, Danny, was full of information about what we were seeing. We saw a beautiful waterfall and stopped at a lovely place for lunch/refreshments with a magnificent view. The food here was some of best we had while visiting. Highly highly recommend!

Buggy Tour in Jaco: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaco.
How much does Buggy Tour in Jaco cost?
+
Prices start at $120 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Buggy Tour in Jaco take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Jaco is not rushed.
Is Buggy Tour in Jaco worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 134 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jaco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Buggy Tour in Jaco?
+
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 Tour in Jaco suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Buggy Tour in Jaco?
+
Around 47 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 Jaco 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 Jaco and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Buggy Tour in Jaco 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 Jaco 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 Jaco?
+
On Outty we rank every Jaco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall, Hot Springs Combo Tour with Lunch & Dinner, Jason Crocodile Tours, Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding. 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 Jaco?
+
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 Jaco?
+
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 Tour in Jaco?
+
Included: Local guide; Use of helmet; and Surcharges on fuel. Not included: Food and drinks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Buggy Tour in Jaco include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 30 listed pickup locations in and around Jaco. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Buggy Tour in Jaco 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 Buggy Tour in Jaco?
+
