You will not be disappointed!
My wife and I was trying to decide between ATV and a hike to the Rio Celeste since we only had 2 more days left in LA Fortuna. While scrolling through Google we came across these guys. The place was easy to find. It may seem strange for a min, when the paved road turned into gravel, but just keep going and it is at the end of the road. We have done ATV tous in other destinations but I must say this was one of the best ones. This was a tour, ATV drive,river trip, Pineapple tour, wildlife education, plus a lovely lunch, all in one. Well worth the price!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful 5-star review! We are thrilled that you and your wife chose to take the short 55-minute drive from La Fortuna to experience Costa Rica ATV and Horseback Adventures (www.crhorseback.com), a 4-hour ATV Adventure in the Rio Celeste and Volcano Tenorio region. We appreciate your comments about the last few minutes of your drive. Many of our Glamping, Horseback, and ATV tour guests notice when the paved road transitions to gravel. This is simply part of the authentic rural experience in Costa Rica. The area around Volcano Tenorio and Rio Celeste is one of the country’s most beautiful agricultural regions, where many of the secondary roads remain unpaved. To guide you along the way, we have placed our company’s street signs. By continuing to drive those last few minutes, you will discover what many guests describe as a hidden gem well worth the journey. We are delighted that you enjoyed everything our adventure has to offer, from riding our Honda 520cc dual-passenger ATVs through the countryside, to visiting the river, learning about pineapple farming and local wildlife, and finishing with a delicious Costa Rican lunch. Our goal is to provide more than just an ATV ride; we want every guest to experience the natural beauty, culture, and hospitality that make Rio Celeste so special. Thank you again for choosing Costa Rica ATV & Horseback Adventures at Volcano Tenorio Glamping Ranch (www.tenorioglamping.com). We hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Costa Rica for another unforgettable adventure!

Excellent!
Brandon was awesome! He is a local so he had access to places that I would not have found on my own. You get could see some really cool views and just riding through the country side was amazing. Some mud, a couple of river crossings, and then cruising through the back roads. I’ll definitely do this again.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much, Sam, for taking the time to share your experience! We're thrilled you had such an amazing adventure with Brandon. As someone who was born and raised in this area, he truly enjoys sharing the hidden gems, scenic viewpoints, and authentic countryside that make this part of Costa Rica so special. It sounds like you experienced everything that makes our ATV adventures unforgettable, from the muddy trails and exciting river crossings to the beautiful back roads and breathtaking scenery. We're especially happy to hear that you'd definitely do it again! Whenever your travels bring you back to the Rio Celeste and Volcano Tenorio area, we'd love to welcome you for another adventure. If you're looking for a relaxing place to stay, please visit us at Volcano Tenorio Glamping Ranch, www.tenorioglamping.com. And if you'd like to experience the foothills of Volcano Tenorio from a different perspective, we'd love to have you join us for one of our leisurely horseback adventures at www.crhorseback.com. Thank you again for choosing us, Sam. We'll be sure to share your kind words with Brandon. We look forward to welcoming you back to Costa Rica! Pura Vida from the Volcano Tenorio Glamping Ranch & Costa Rica ATV & Horseback Adventure teams!

Best ATV Tour, you will not be disappointed
My wife and I wanted to see the Rio Celeste but I also wanted to do ATV. After a search I found this place and booked it. I then received a message from Santiago, the guide and Bill, the Owner giving us some instructions on what to expect. The place was not hard to find. The only issue we had was just a small setback at the gate because the guy at the gate did not speak English. I just used my Google translate and we were off. Man, where can I start with Santiago!! One of the best guided tours I've ever had!! He my wife had a great time and Santiago is very knowledgeable on lots of things Costa Rica. He was safe, attentive and took time to show us animals and plants. It was not just an ATV ride. We could tell that he actually love what he does. We will recommend this ATV company to anyone we know who's coming to Costa Rica!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your wonderful review! We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted that you and your wife chose Costa Rica ATV & Horseback Adventures during your visit to Río Celeste. We're especially happy to hear how much you enjoyed your tour with Santiago. He genuinely loves sharing the beauty, wildlife, history, and culture of Costa Rica with our guests, and your comments perfectly describe the experience we strive to provide. We'll be sure to pass along your compliments to him—they will mean a great deal. We're sorry for the brief inconvenience at the entrance gate. We include the gate code and arrival instructions with every booking confirmation in case our team is out assisting guests on tours, but we apologize that this information wasn't readily available when you arrived. We're glad Google Translate helped get everything sorted out quickly so your adventure could begin. Our goal is to offer much more than just an ATV ride. From crossing rivers and exploring scenic countryside roads to passing one of Central America's largest pineapple plantations and spotting Costa Rica's incredible wildlife, we want every guest to experience the authentic beauty of the Río Celeste and Volcano Tenorio region. Thank you again for your recommendation. It truly means the world to our family business. We hope to welcome you back again soon, and next time we'd love to host you for a stay at Volcano Tenorio Glamping Ranch in one of our comfortable glamping tent suites, so you can enjoy even more of the natural beauty surrounding Río Celeste and Volcano Tenorio National Park. Pura Vida! Costa Rica ATV & Horseback Adventures Team!

Highly recommended
The ATV 4.5 hour tour with Santiago was just super great. He is a very personable young man who is an excellent, comprehensive and attentive guide. His short introduction about the ATV was clearly understandable and feasible for beginners. The chosen paths were perfect, super nice and the river crossings were the highlight. He explained and showed us a lot about wildlife. He's the perfect howler impersonator, they answered immediately, a huge roar in the woods. We also learned a lot about pineapple cultivation. We enjoyed the tour all around and always felt very comfortable. Thanks again and all the best
Response from the operator: Hola from Costa Rica ATV & Horseback Adventures! Thank you os much for the kind words! And yes, Santiago is a wonderful host. As we convey on our website, there is aboundance of wildlife in the Volcano Tenorio, Rio Celeste region of Costa Rica.

Why this scores 65
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Volcano Tenorio Rio Celeste ATV Adventure Max 9 Guest 4-4.5 Hours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alajuela.
How much does Volcano Tenorio Rio Celeste ATV Adventure Max 9 Guest 4-4.5 Hours cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alajuela usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Volcano Tenorio Rio Celeste ATV Adventure Max 9 Guest 4-4.5 Hours 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 Alajuela is not rushed.
Is Volcano Tenorio Rio Celeste ATV Adventure Max 9 Guest 4-4.5 Hours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alajuela, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Volcano Tenorio Rio Celeste ATV Adventure Max 9 Guest 4-4.5 Hours?
+
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 Volcano Tenorio Rio Celeste ATV Adventure Max 9 Guest 4-4.5 Hours 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 Volcano Tenorio Rio Celeste ATV Adventure Max 9 Guest 4-4.5 Hours?
+
Around 2 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 Alajuela 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 Alajuela and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Volcano Tenorio Rio Celeste ATV Adventure Max 9 Guest 4-4.5 Hours 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 Alajuela 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 Alajuela?
+
On Outty we rank every Alajuela experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano Full-Day Combo Tour with Lunch and Dinner, Arenal Volcano Experience Full-Day Tour from San Jose, Manuel Antonio National Park Sightseeing and Wildlife Day Tour from San Jose. 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 Alajuela?
+
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 Alajuela?
+
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.
