ATV riding in Jaco puts you behind the handlebars for 2 hours on jungle trails, river paths and muddy terrain in the Central Pacific. A bilingual guide leads the route, which adjusts to your riding ability and weather; fruits, water and professional photography are included. Valid driver's license and a credit card (for ATV deposit) are required at booking.

The Experience

What makes this different from watching a guide navigate the terrain is that you're operating the machine. The route takes you through jungle paths, along rivers and across muddy dirt sections where the difficulty shifts based on your skill level—a beginner's line stays smoother, while experienced riders hit the rougher stretches. A bilingual guide leads the group and adjusts the pace as you go, so you're not figuring out the trail alone.

The 2-hour window covers the ride itself plus time at lookout spots and river crossings where the guide stops to let you catch your breath and take in the landscape. You'll get fruits and water at breaks, and a professional photographer captures moments along the way—those images are part of what you take home. The terrain changes depending on recent weather; heavy rain can shift which sections are passable, so the guide picks the best route available on the day you ride.

Bring a valid driver's license and a credit card (Visa or Mastercard) for the ATV deposit—the operator holds a minimum of $1,000 on your card for 1 to 5 vehicles, and that amount is fully refundable. If you'd rather not have a hold on your card, you can purchase insurance coverage for $25 per ATV instead. Riders need at least a moderate level of fitness for the physical demands of operating an ATV over uneven ground for two hours.

Is this one for you?The guide speaks English and Spanish, so if you're comfortable following instructions in either language, you'll track the route and safety briefing without strain. The ride adjusts to your ability—beginners and experienced riders both get a line that matches their control, which is what makes a 2-hour session feel manageable rather than overwhelming.
