Step-by-step itinerary
Family adventure with four activities
- Drive own ATVs on private trails
- Ride horses through wildlife trails
- Zip-line across 11 canopy platforms
- Visit monkey sanctuary and petting zoo
The experience
This is not a single tour but four separate activities stacked into one outing, each designed so kids and adults do the same thing side by side. The ATV portion happens on a private closed course in the Guanacaste highlands: no license needed, and the guide stays with you the whole time. Horseback riding follows on trails where you might spot armadillos, anteaters and tropical birds. The route climbs to a viewpoint. Then comes the canopy tour: 11 zipline platforms at varying heights strung through the forest, with chances to see monkeys and birds from above.
The monkey sanctuary wraps up the day as an interactive stop where you get close to rescued animals, explore a snake exhibit and visit a petting zoo. Each activity runs 45 minutes with breaks built in between, and the whole outing takes three to four hours from pickup to drop-off. A local guide who speaks English or Spanish stays with the group throughout. Hotel transportation and bottled water are included. Children must be accompanied by an adult, and a minimum of two paying people per booking is required.

Is this one for you?Each activity runs 45 minutes with breaks in between, so the pace is steady but not rushed: ideal for families with younger kids who need downtime. The ATV course is closed and private, which means parents and children ride side by side on a controlled route rather than mixing with other groups on open terrain.

No. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included, and a local guide meets you at your accommodation to start the day.
