ATV Riding in Brasilito: Beaches & Dry Forest

Two hours driving your own buggy along three beaches and through protected forest

A two-hour ATV riding experience in Brasilito where you operate a side-by-side buggy north through Guanacaste's beaches and dry forest, stopping at Playa Brasilito, Flamingo marina and Potrero bay for photos. The tour suits all ages and includes a live guide in English or Spanish, goggles and water.

The experience

You drive your own side-by-side buggy starting from Brasilito beach, heading north along the coast and inland through the dry forests of Guanacaste. The route covers Playa Brasilito's hidden beach, the new marina area at Flamingo, and viewpoints overlooking Potrero bay. A live guide leads the way and stops at spots worth photographing. The guide helps frame the shots so you leave with images instead of just memories.

The two-hour ride mixes beach driving with forest trails, so the terrain changes enough to hold attention without being relentless. Goggles and a bottle of water are included. Infants ride on an adult's lap, and the operator notes this is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or cardiovascular concerns. Moderate fitness helps but the pace is set for families.

What’s included

• Goggles and a bottle of water.

Operated by ATV Beach Tours

Is this one for you?The two-hour length fits a morning or afternoon slot without eating a full day, so families can ride and still explore the towns or beaches afterward. You operate the buggy yourself, which means the pace and line you take are yours, not a passenger seat watching someone else drive.
