Great family memories created!
This was a much better excursion than I expected. They picked me up in my hotel, but beware that you need to call them and arrange pick up. They are a small operation (at least for the ATV part). ATV Portion: This is not riding in the jungle (there are other outfits that do that), instead, it goes through three towns (Brasilito, Potrero and Flamingo) and stops at three main points (Brasilito beach, black sands), another beach and in Flamingo at tide pools. The guide was very informative providing good narratives at each stop; and has water in his ATV for guests. And the final stop is near the Flamingo marina where there are clean and nice bathrooms. There are no snacks or food on this excursion, so plan for that. They will keep your backpacks in a secure van so you can snack or eat on the about 30-minute trip to the zip line if you want. This was my daughter and my first time on an ATV and we loved it. The route has dusty parts, so mask up if you want to avoid the dust in your nose. They provide goggles, so your eyes will be protected. Zip lining Portion There a million zip lining options in Costa Rica. This was perfect for our party as we had two 10-year old kids for whom this was their first experience. The longest line was a little over 900 feet. And there is one line for which you have to hike up a hill. But they have a water station at the finish of the hike with bottled water and no one is ever in a rush in Costa Rica. Their motto is Pura Vida! (pure life) and they live it. The guides were respectful and helpful. We were a party of 7 and we had three guides. There are sturdy draw bridges involved. They will take photos if you agree to pay them $20 per person. We paid the extra $140 and the pictures are high quality. Our driver was waiting for us at the end of the zip lines with a nice surprise! He was giving Cheetos to a white-faced monkey. We all got to feed the monkeys that joined including a baby monkey (so cute!). The kids (in age and heart) in our party absolutely loved it. It was the highlight of our entire trip and earned our driver a very nice tip upgrade! Summary All in all, this was a fun combo trip and we loved it. We created beautiful family memories. If you have had experience with other zip lines and you're in it for the thrill, there might be more challenging lines. But this was well worth the money.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed review! We’re truly happy to hear that your family created such wonderful memories with us. It means a lot to know that your first ATV experience was enjoyable and that our guide helped make the tour informative, safe, and fun. We’re also glad the zip line adventure was a great fit for your group, especially for the kids on their first ziplining experience. Seeing the white-faced monkeys at the end of the tour is always a special surprise, and we’re thrilled it became one of the highlights of your trip! Thank you as well for mentioning the helpful tips for future guests, such as arranging hotel pickup in advance and bringing snacks. Feedback like yours is incredibly valuable. It was a pleasure having you and your family with us, and we hope to welcome you back on your next visit to Costa Rica for even more unforgettable adventures. Pura Vida! 🌴🛻🌊🐒

Fun times
We drove to each location, inland for the Zipline tour with Congo Trail company. They had a very fun Zipline tour with long rides and monkeys all around. The beach ATV portion was about 30 minutes away and was just ok. It was fun for the brief time we went on the beach but most of the time we were on the main roads or in neighborhoods. It would have been more fun to do both activities at the Congo Trail location. The employees were all very friendly and helpful at both sites.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you had fun and that you enjoyed the zipline adventure and seeing the monkeys at Congo Trail. We’re also happy to hear our team was friendly and helpful throughout the day. Our ATV tour is designed to showcase the authentic local side of Guanacaste, combining beautiful beaches, scenic viewpoints, and charming coastal towns. While part of the route includes local roads to connect these unique locations, many guests enjoy this opportunity to experience the area’s culture and hidden gems beyond the beach itself. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another adventure the next time you’re in Costa Rica! 🌴🏖️🛻

Jason was on time and very professional. Picked us up at the hotel and took me and my family on an amazing ATV tour of the local beaches. We all had fun and felt very safe during the tour. I would highly recommend this company to take your family on a day of fun and adventure. 5 stars!!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Zip Line and ATV Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tamarindo.
How much does Zip Line and ATV Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $159 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tamarindo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Zip Line and ATV Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 5.2 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 Tamarindo is not rushed.
Is Zip Line and ATV Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 165 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tamarindo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Zip Line and ATV Adventure?
+
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 Zip Line and ATV Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Zip Line and ATV Adventure?
+
Around 58 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 Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo and add a light layer if any part of the 5.2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Zip Line and ATV Adventure 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 Tamarindo 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 Tamarindo?
+
On Outty we rank every Tamarindo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Surf Lesson in Tamarindo - Stand Up or Your Money Back!, Sunset Catamaran & Snorkeling Tour in Playa Flamingo, Fundive Catalina Islands (2 dives, only for certified divers). 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 Tamarindo?
+
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 Tamarindo?
+
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.
