Amazing time!
The ATV waterfall was fantastic! The route so much fun. Went through many hills, rocks, water puddles, everything I could have wished for! Lunch was amazing as well. I would definitely recommend this activity.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Hilda! We're so happy you enjoyed the ride through the hills and water puddles, and that the lunch lived up to it too. Thanks for spending part of your Costa Rica trip with us, and we hope to see you again soon! – Gordon & the Adventure Tours Costa Rica team

Awesome Jaco Experience
We had an INCREDIBLE experience with Alfonzo. Super friendly, knowledgeable about the area, pointed our macaws, sloths, iguanas, and trap door spiders, took 100s of pictures of us and was just a true light. Truly enjoyed this tour!
Response from the operator: Hi Sarah, thank you for this wonderful review! We're so glad Alfonso made spotting the macaws, sloths and iguanas such a highlight of your trip. We'll make sure the whole team sees your kind words. Pura vida, and we hope to see you back in Jaco! – Gordon & the Adventure Tours Costa Rica team

The day we were the only...
The day we were the only rider with our personal guide. The waterfall was perfect and we swam half an hour. The trip took us to the peak of the mountains with a beautiful view on either side. The food at the peak was great and we saw a pair of macaws fly near by and land on a close branch for great pictures. This is a must see if in Jaco.
Response from the operator: Thanks for riding with us, Jeffery! We love hearing that swimming at the waterfall and spotting the pair of macaws were highlights. Come back and see us anytime you're in Jaco! – Gordon & the Adventure Tours Costa Rica team

Amazing ATV tour!
Our family of 5 - 4 drivers and one passenger - had an amazing time on this ATV tour. Our guide, Naron was the best! It was a lot of fun off-roading on the ATVs, the waterfall was refreshing and the lunch was delicious. Total A+ of an experience!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much, Mat! We're so happy Naron made your family feel comfortable and that you loved the refreshing waterfall and the lunch. Reviews like yours make our team's day. Pura vida! – Gordon & the Adventure Tours Costa Rica team

Never gets old
I’ve done this tour 3 times and it gets better every time! I’ve gone with my 77 year old mother, my fiancé, my adult children, and fiancé’s young children. All have equally enjoyed the experience. Great for all ages and experience levels.
Response from the operator: Thanks for riding with us, Jonnell! We love hearing that three trips in, everyone from your 77-year-old mom to the youngest riders has enjoyed the day. Come back and see us anytime you're in Jaco! – Gordon & the Adventure Tours Costa Rica team

Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaco.
How much does Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs) cost?
+
Prices start at $139 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 Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs) take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 353 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 Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs)?
+
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 Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs)?
+
Around 124 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs) 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 Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs)?
+
Included: Pick up service in Jaco area (only) upon request; Equipment Rentals; Waterfall Entrance Fee; Delicious Authentic Lunch; and Bilingual Guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs) include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 3 listed pickup locations in and around Jaco. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time.
What languages is Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs) 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 Off-Road ATV Waterfall & Delicious Rainforest Lunch (4hrs)?
