Aventure en quad à La Fortuna : masque de boue & volcan Arenal
Description
Préparez-vous pour 2 heures de visite de pure aventure et d'adrénaline! Notre expérience commence à la ferme privée La Naciente, à quelques minutes du centre-ville de La Fortuna. Nous commençons par parcourir des sentiers boueux, traverser de petites rivières et des ruisseaux, et conduire à travers des flaques d'eau naturelles - le tout entouré d'une magnifique forêt tropicale. Le terrain est amusant et un peu difficile, avec des bosses, de la boue et des chemins inégaux qui rendent la balade excitante. Avant de commencer, nous donnons un briefing de sécurité clair et faisons un petit tour d'entraînement pour nous assurer que tout le monde se sent à l'aise avec les VTT. Ensuite, nous continuons sur les sentiers principaux de La Naciente, où vous profiterez de plus de boue, de rebondissements et de sections aventureuses tout en parcourant la nature. Ensuite, nous visitons le petit village de La Guaria, où vous pouvez voir la vie locale, l'église, et un magasin traditionnel (pulpería). Nous continuons ensuite le long de sentiers ouverts jusqu'à la rivière Arenal (selon les conditions météorologiques), où nous nous arrêtons pour prendre des photos, profiter de la vue, et prendre une collation de fruits frais.

(45 minutes ferme privée et sentiers de boue) Notre visite commence à la ferme privée La Naciente, à quelques minutes du centre-ville de La Fortuna. Ici, l'aventure commence alors que vous parcourez des sentiers boueux, conduisez à travers des flaques d'eau naturelles, et traversez de petites rivières et des ruisseaux, tous entourés d'une magnifique forêt tropicale. Le terrain est amusant et un peu difficile, avec des bosses, de la boue et des chemins inégaux qui rendent l'expérience passionnante dès le début.
(20 minutes en VTT de la ville de La Guaria) La Guaria est un charmant village pittoresque niché au cœur de la campagne costaricienne. Cette petite communauté offre un aperçu du mode de vie rural authentique de la région. Avec son église modeste mais belle et une pulpería traditionnelle (magasin local), La Guaria reflète la simplicité et la chaleur de la culture locale. Profitez d'une promenade panoramique sur votre VTT le long des routes pavées ouvertes que vous explorez et découvrez cette partie unique de la région.
(25 minutes pour atteindre et profiter de la rivière Arenal) Lorsque nous arrivons à la rivière Arenal, vous sentirez la brise rafraîchissante et trouverez l'endroit idéal pour prendre des photos incroyables. Si vous êtes partant, vous pouvez également sauter et profiter d’une baignade rafraîchissante dans ses eaux claires.
(30 minutes dans la jungle) Dans cette section, nous pénétrons dans une autre zone privée de La Naciente, à cheval à travers des sentiers boueux passionnants et des chemins accidentés à travers la propriété. Vous conduirez votre VTT sous la canopée de la forêt tropicale de La Fortuna, rendant cette partie de la balade particulièrement amusante et immersive. Selon les préférences du groupe, nous pouvons nous arrêter pour une expérience de boue volcanique, où nous extrayons la boue naturelle de la rivière et profitons d’un moment relaxant et spa qui profite à votre peau. Cela marque la fin de la visite avant de reprendre le chemin du transport.
(30 minutes de chute) Après la visite, nous fournissons un retour à votre hôtel dans le centre-ville de La Fortuna et les régions voisines.

Avis(313)
Length of tour was shorter than advertised. Tour was advertised as about 3 hours. Our reservation was for 3pm and we finished the tour at 4:30pm.
Thank you for your feedback. As described on the activity profile, the tour is advertised as 3 hours, including transportation, as the booking platform requires us to configure the duration this way. The transportation usually takes around 30 minutes for pick-up (depending on the location of the accommodation) and 30 minutes for drop-off. The ATV ride itself covers a 13.5 km route, including stops at the viewpoint (on clear days), the Arenal River, a fresh fruit break, and the volcanic mud area. The ATV portion of the experience lasts approximately 2 hours, for a total of 3 hours including transportation. For guests who arrive directly at our property and do not require transportation, the experience on the farm remains approximately 2 hours. According to our guide, the 3:00 p.m. tour on the day of your visit was completed as normal, and the expected tour time was fulfilled. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and hope this helps clarify the advertised duration.
Fantastic guide and experience. The whole group had fun. We are not the most adventurous people, but 16 year old and two adults were able drive atv in the rain while being safe!
Thank you! We're so glad you all had a great time. Rain only adds to the adventure! 😊 We appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again soon.
Easy check-in, clear guide, and a wonderful experience riding on a scenic route! Kid-friendly - 14 yo can ride solo.
Hello! Thank you so much for your review! We appreciate it very much!
The guides were great - very patient with all of us and especially helpful when I fell (twice! - both my fault) and needed to finish the ride on the back of our leader’s ATV. Communication before the ride in regards to where we would meet up was also very clear and helpful. Would recommend Original Arenal ATV to all looking for an adventure.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad you had a great adventure and that our team was there to help when you needed it. We're also happy the meeting instructions were clear. Thanks for recommending us—we'd love to welcome you back anytime!
The tour was a lot of fun and a highlight of our trip to La Fortuna. Our guide was helpful and kind. Safety first. There had been a lot of rain so the tour had to be cut short due to the river not being passable due to the heavy rains. The only reason i gave 4 stars is because the helmets smelled really bad.
Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and felt safe with our guide. We appreciate you letting us know about the helmets, and we'll definitely take care of that. Hope to see you again for the full adventure!
Wonderful! Driving through lush mountains, mud and puddles , soaking in the river. Delicious pineapple snacks !
Thank you! We're so glad you enjoyed the ride through the mountains, the mud, the river, and the fresh pineapple. It was great having you with us, and we'd love to see you again on your next adventure!
Very fun experience and the people were really nice. The view were nice and they also give you pineapple and water.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're so happy you had a fun experience and enjoyed the views. It was a pleasure having you, and we're glad you liked the fresh pineapple and water. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
After we found this place, because Waze puts it on the wrong side of the road, and a van was parked in front of the sign, we finally got to ride some ATVs. The first part is a lot of fun splashing through the mud and streams. Then we got on a paved road and rode for miles before the road turned to gravel ending at a small (at this time of the year) river. There were snacks at the river, then we rode many miles back down the gravel and paved road. I drive on paved roads everyday at home so this part was very boring. Finally we returned to the mud and had a lot more fun before stopping at the facial mud supply. We applied mud to our faces, some people applied it to arms and legs as well. Then we splashed through more fun mud and water until we were back to the start. If you don't like bumpy muddy riding, your are in luck, as at least 2/3 of this trip is on a road. Not really what I expected. The equipment is getting old too. Out of the 8 riders, 2 of the ATVs wouldn't start, but the mechanic brought 2 more running units out to those riders. For some reason, they told us to put it in 3rd gear and leave it there. But since I have several years riding motorcycles, I just put it in the best gear for the terrain. If I visited again, I would look for a place with more to see than a paved road
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the muddy sections of the tour, the river stop, and the volcanic mud experience. We understand that the route may not have fully matched your expectations regarding the amount of off-road riding. Our tour combines paved roads, gravel paths, and muddy trails to provide access to different landscapes and viewpoints around La Fortuna while prioritizing safety and complying with local regulations. Regarding the ATVs, we perform regular maintenance on all our units, and in the event of any unexpected mechanical issue, our team is prepared to provide immediate assistance, as happened during your tour to minimize disruptions to the experience. We appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving and provide future guests with a clearer understanding of what to expect from the adventure. Thank you again for joining us, and we wish you all the best on your future travels.
My family and I loved this tour. Using the ATVs was easy. Part of the train through the jungle was rugged which made for the perfect amount of adventure with a couple of stops along the way. I highly recommend it. The tour operatorss were friendly and helpful. It was first time experience for myself and my 13 yo son and we felt safe and had an amazing time.
Thank you for your review! We're so happy to hear that you and your family had an amazing time and felt safe throughout the adventure. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again on your next visit to La Fortuna!
Our ATV experience was disappointing due to the attitude of our guide. He appeared unhappy throughout the tour, rarely smiled, and seemed frustrated whenever someone's ATV got stuck in the mud or experienced mechanical issues. Instead of being patient and supportive, he came across as grouchy and unapproachable. We were also told that photos could only be taken at designated locations. When we politely asked him to take a family picture for us, he simply ignored our request. We only have picture after the tour infront of the ATV. Customer service and friendliness are important parts of any tour experience, and unfortunately, we did not feel welcomed or valued during this activity.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Safety is our top priority during the tour, especially when navigating muddy terrain and assisting guests whose ATVs become stuck or experience difficulties. However, we understand that this should never come at the expense of providing friendly and attentive service. We also apologize if you felt your request for a family photo was overlooked. We encourage our guides to help guests create memorable moments whenever possible, and we regret that this was not your experience. Your comments are important to us, and we will review them with our team to ensure we continue improving both our customer service and overall guest experience. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
