    Perfect Family UTV Adventure!

    Our UTV tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Darwin and his crew were friendly and knowledgeable, and they made sure everyone felt safe while keeping the ride exciting. What really stood out was how thoughtful they were with our 3- and 6-year-old boys. They made them feel included, checked on them throughout the tour, and adjusted the pace when needed so our whole family could enjoy the adventure. The scenery was beautiful, the UTVs were well-maintained, and the entire experience was organized from start to finish. If you're traveling with children and looking for an adventure that's both exciting and family-friendly, I highly recommend this tour. We made incredible memories and would absolutely do it again!

    Gorgeous views! Fun time!

    Our third year doing side-by-sides in CR and this year didn’t disappoint! Darwin was awesome, the beaches were gorgeous, and the view from the mountains was incredible. Despite being rainy season, it was a very dry, dusty day with minimal puddles (although we did manage to get VERY muddy). He didn’t have enough goggles for our whole group, which wasn’t great, but those of us with sunglasses survived well enough. Just wish we had a “tail,” as our 4th UTV ran a little slower and they lost us twice.

    Such a great excursion!!

    What a fun excursion! We did the UTV excursion with Darwin. He took us to various beaches - five of them to be exact. We saw herons, monkeys and a long brightly patterned snake hidden among rocks at the mangroves. We went to a viewpoint area where we could see the area from way up high. We ended the trip with lunch at a DELICIOUS restaurant. The food was so good! And decently priced. Try the fried yuca and shrimp ceviche. The kids and adults were both happy with full tummies and hearts full of adventure. The cliffs were steep, especially at the lookout viewpoint area. And you WILL get dirty. Wear the provided goggles, or at least sunglasses. And prepare to get wet. We stopped at two beaches to swim. One was a black sand beach. Well worth the price and the locals were so friendly. Darwin was friendly, knowledgeable and showed us so much. Loved it! Would highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you and your family enjoyed the UTV adventure with Darwin—exploring beaches, spotting wildlife, and finishing with great local food is exactly the experience we love to share with our guests. Darwin will be very happy to hear your kind words! We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure with Flamingo Adventures soon!

    Best part of the trip

    Top of the world atv tour is now the best part of our trip … having never driven an atv I picked it up pretty quickly with instruction from Darwin. The experience was amazing! Driving up the mountain seeing the views and visiting 5 beaches. We’re excited to come back again after rainy season and do this atv tour again. Soo worth it. Would highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We’re so happy to hear the Top of the World ATV tour was the highlight of your trip! Darwin will be glad to know his instructions helped make your first ATV experience easy and fun. The mountain views and beach stops make this tour truly special. We’ll be excited to welcome you back after the rainy season for another adventure with Flamingo Adventures!

    Top Of The World Side X Side UTV Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Top Of The World Side X Side UTV Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $285 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 Top Of The World Side X Side UTV Tour 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 Playa Flamingo is not rushed.

    Is Top Of The World Side X Side UTV Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 11 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 Top Of The World Side X Side UTV 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 Top Of The World Side X Side UTV Tour 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 Top Of The World Side X Side UTV Tour?

    +

    Around 4 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Top Of The World Side X Side UTV 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, Playa Flamingo Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Lunch, Cocktails, Tamarindo: Snorkel and Sunset Catamaran Cruise with Lunch, Drinks. 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 Top Of The World Side X Side UTV Tour?

    +

    Included: Helmet, googles; and Professional guide .Pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points. Not included: Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Top Of The World Side X Side UTV Tour?

    +

    80 meters East of Hotel Bahia del Sol Calle Principal Guanacaste Playa Potrero, in front of The Shack Restaurant Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Top Of The World Side X Side UTV Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English, Italian and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Is Top Of The World Side X Side UTV Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
