    What you'll see and do

    1. Adventure Tours Costa Rica

      The tour begins in the mountains directly behind Jacó, and continues roughly half the distance to the peak of the mountain to a beautiful 35ft. waterfall (Cascada del Zorro) – a perfect spot to get a little wet and take some photos. After the brief stop, we continue up through primary rainforest and above the canopy to the top of the mountain range. Just beyond the crest of the mountain lies a beautiful mirador offering views of the ocean playing against sands as far south as Manuel Antonio, as far west as the Nicoya Peninsula, and as far north as the port city of Puntarenas.

    2. Quebrada Amarilla

      We enjoy a cool drink with the view, and then continue along the ridgeline of the mountains that offer more incredible views of this pristine area. This primary rainforest leads the way towards the mountains that surround Playa Hermosa. After stopping off at one more epic viewpoint, we descend the mountains of La Gloria toward the Tulin River to our river-side lunch spot in the small rural town of Mata de Platano. Once fed, we start a new climb through the similarly small and remote villages of Montelimar, Angostura, Pavona and San Gabriel before passing through Las Delicias (population: 39) famous for its ATV and motocross rallies.

    3. Catarata Bijagual

      Though it’s impossible to describe every little pueblo we pass on the tour, suffice it to say that each has its own unique charm, and the locals always greet us with a wave and a smile. Once arriving in Bijagual - the last mountain pueblo we pass - we begin our final descent to a beach-side bar where we gather refreshments for the end of our beach run. A quick 2 kilometer run alongside the Pacific Ocean brings us to a view of the sun making its way for the Nicoya Peninsula on the other side of the Gulf, and chance to have a drink before heading back to Headquarters.

    Fun on Four Wheels

    It was an all around good time. The sights were beautiful. The waterfall left nothing to be desired and the lunch was fulfilling.

    Response from the operator: Thanks for riding with us, Leonard! We love hearing that the waterfall and the lunch were highlights. Come back and see us anytime you're in Jaco! – Gordon & the Adventure Tours Costa Rica team

    Amazing trip!

    This ended up being one of our favorite excursions of our trip. The guides were very knowledgeable and made sure we were comfortable at all times. We got to see lots of wildlife and beautiful scenery.

    Response from the operator: Amya, thank you for the amazing review! Spotting wildlife along the way is one of our favorite parts of the tour too. We're glad you had a great day with us. Pura vida! – Gordon & the Adventure Tours Costa Rica team

    Good, but not great. Go shorter, get the hi-lights.

    We did this based on all the 5 star reviews. There were a few good views, and some of the trail was adventurous, but in the end, it was really just very long. Take a shorter version that gets you to the waterfall and the ocean overlook (which our guide was on his way to skipping before we asked about it) in a shorter time.

    Absolutely amazing!

    This was the best tour experience we have had. It was beautiful, so fun, and our guide was amazing! We saw monkeys, toucans, and multiple beautiful butterflies. We visited a giant waterfall and got to swim in the pool beneath it. One of our favorite parts was eating the delicious authentic Costa Rican food.

    The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers cost?

    +

    Prices start at $199 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 The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 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 The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 109 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 The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers?

    +

    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 King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers?

    +

    Around 38 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers 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 The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers?

    +

    Included: Pick up service in Jaco area (only) upon request; Equipment Rentals; Waterfall entrance; Delicious Authentic Lunch; and Bilingual Guide. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers 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 The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers 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 The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to The King's Full-Day ATV Adventure - Rainforest Waterfalls, Villages, Rivers if the weather is bad?

    +
