The experience

You drive your own ATV through terrain that has no road access otherwise. Adult riders operate single machines while families or groups with children can pair up in double buggies, so everyone on the outing controls the vehicle. The route moves through tropical forest and across open landscape to reach secluded beaches and viewpoints, with chances to spot monkeys and birds along the way. A private guide leads the entire two-hour ride and handles the logistics. You just show up ready to ride.

Hotel pickup is included, so there's no separate transport to arrange. The guide speaks English or Spanish and stays with your group the whole time. The terrain is off-road but the experience is built for riders of any fitness level, so you're not racing or pushing hard. You're exploring at a pace that lets you take in the landscape.

What’s included

Operated by ATV tour tamarindo

Is this one for you?The ride is off-road and self-operated, so it demands comfort handling an ATV on uneven terrain. If you've never ridden before, the guide stays with you and the pace is manageable for all fitness levels, but the activity itself is the point, not a scenic drive.
