Had a great time! The tour guides were kind and patient. It also included stops for pictures and to meet members of the indigenous community. The ride was definitely beginner friendly as well.
Everything was truly pleasant, from the calmer beginning with magnificent viewpoints to the more adventurous part!
We expected to get muddy but we didn’t so if you’re looking to get muddy this will not be your place. I did however loved the whole experience, they gave us pineapple, we rode through a small river and enjoyed getting wet.
Everyone raved but it’s was a horrible experience. I think because we also booked the 3pm tour which is the last one they offer. The guides only spoke to us for a total of 5 minutes to teach us how to drive the ATV and then nothing after. We went to where we could get into the water and was told we had 10 minutes and only 5 minutes in the guide was telling us it was time to go. Everyone mentioned getting pineapple in the comments which wasn’t a make or break deal for us but we didn’t get any. We went to Rio Celeste the day after and realized it was the same exact route to this waterfall that they take us on. Not worth it for us, not very friendly or at least the guides we had just did not seem to be happy. Very sad we were totally looking forward to this part of our trip.
Good evening Nadia. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Our ATV tour is designed for guests who are looking for an authentic off-road adventure. The main focus is on riding through the rainforest, crossing rocky and muddy trails, with short scenic stops for photos and to enjoy the surroundings, while maximizing the time spent driving the ATV. It is not intended to be a sightseeing tour with long stops, but rather an exciting 4x4 adventure. That said, we sincerely appreciate your comments, and we will carefully review what happened during your tour. It is very unusual for us to receive feedback like yours, especially regarding the interaction with our guides. We strive to provide every guest with a friendly, professional, and memorable experience, so we are concerned to hear that you felt otherwise. Regarding the waterfall stop, our standard itinerary allows enough time for guests to enjoy the location, and we will investigate why you felt rushed. We will also review the situation regarding the pineapple, as this is something we normally include when conditions allow. We are genuinely disappointed that we did not deliver the experience you were expecting. Our goal is to offer one of the best ATV adventures in Costa Rica, and feedback like yours helps us improve and ensure we continue providing the high-quality service our guests deserve. Thank you again for your comments, and we wish you all the best. My best regards. Outback Team.
I really enjoyed this experience, I would say if you are an experienced rider seeking thrills this may slightly let you down. It’s more geared towards all experience levels but the journey and views are incredible. You definitely get your money’s worth in the length of the journey and amount of sites.
This ATV experience was awesome! Luis was a great tour guide and very knowledgeable! It was down pouring for a majority of the tour and it made it even better!!
Worth the upgrade for the extra hour tour. Amazing experience our guide was great. Got to see a lot of nature local places
I don’t really think they care about you having fun. I believe they care more about profit than the customers experience. Also u can’t even use your phone to record anything so no pictures for memories they are way too strict it’s like you’re back in school. They say no no to every little thing u do wrong.
I was misinformed and scammed out of over $100. DO NOT do business with this tour company. They tell you they’ll provide transportation to and from your resort, until you pay and book, after which they then tell you you’re too far away from the location for them to come get you. They offer a “My resort is not listed” option but allow you to type in your resort. Instead of notifying you of the distance being too far, they allow you to proceed with the booking and pay them, and then notify you after the fact. I submitted a claim to PayPal which got denied. You’re better off booking a tour directly within your resort, this company gives Costa Rica a very bad reputation as far as tours.
Luis & Frank gave us a 10/10 experience. Honestly was more than I was expecting and asked for. Very fun and lots of sightseeing and opportunity to take pictures. Fresh pineapple was also served. Thankful for everything! I highly recommend to anyone considering. You will not regret it.
