Best Tour Ever - do the 3 hours
Amazing tour, I loved it. Did the 3 hour tour and got to take multiple trails including hills, gravel, roads and so more. 3 hours was the perfect amount of time.
via Tripadvisor
We had such a great time...
We had such a great time on our ATV adventure! We rode through lakes, saw beautiful volcano views, spotted wildlife, and even got to stop at a waterfall. The scenery was amazing and made the whole experience worth it. Everyone was super friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had a good time. Definitely one of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip! 🇨🇷🌋💦 I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone visiting La Fortuna!

Wet and dirty ATV ride!
The 3-hour ATV tour with a small group was amazing and our guide Josue made a difference! We went through hills, waterfalls, mud tracks, climbed up to see the Volcano and had a blast! Go even in the rain, it's even better!

Was not what we were...
Was not what we were expecting. We enjoyed the stops along the way but when it came down to it, it just wasn’t exciting. We felt like we drove on the road more than anything.

The Discovery Adventure ATV Tour in La Fortuna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Fortuna.
How much does The Discovery Adventure ATV Tour in La Fortuna cost?
+
Prices start at $119 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 The Discovery Adventure ATV Tour in La Fortuna 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 La Fortuna is not rushed.
Is The Discovery Adventure ATV Tour in La Fortuna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 93 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 The Discovery Adventure ATV Tour in La Fortuna?
+
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 The Discovery Adventure ATV Tour in La Fortuna 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 The Discovery Adventure ATV Tour in La Fortuna?
+
Around 33 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Discovery Adventure ATV Tour in La Fortuna 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.
