Book this tour. Do not hesitate. Brian, our guide, was amazing! He watched out for us and helped us through the entire trip. This was an excellent experience. We were in a small group. And we had a blast. Thank you for watching out for us and for taking us around some of the most breathtaking views we never could have seen without your expertise.
Gustavo was a great guide, we went to 3 different beaches and had fun getting there. He took time to point out the wildlife and information about the areas we were in and made sure we hit every mud puddle along the way 😂.
Viator list the name of the ATV business in very fine print. Ask this before you start tour. It is also not disclosed that this company holds $2,000 off your card. It is taken out of account and not refunded until much later. When we showed up at the address we did not know if we were at the correct place of business. The company did not have our reservation that we booked with Viator which made it even more confusing. The owner of the ATV business was not friendly. Once all was sorted and we started the tour, we had fun due to our tour guide. He was the best part of the adventure. If going during rainy season be sure to wear clothes and shoes to get muddy and wet.
We had an excellent time on the UTV tour w Able. Able was great, took us to beautiful Puerto Viejo Beach where we swam, Pirates Beach and a gorgeous scenic overlook. The UTVs were fun and comfortable. Able gave great info about the area and was very personable. Stopped when he saw some monkeys and pointed them out for all of us to see. It made for a really nice day. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get out and see more around Tamarindo.
I don’t like to give negative feedback on a trip but I feel this tour advertises something that didn’t seem to be on offer for us. We did this trip with our two teenage boys and even though the staff were friendly and helpful, this tour was not what we expected in any way at all. After reading the reviews, we thought this would be an exciting off-road experience with a chance to take in some beautiful scenery. We ended up following a guide who was up front on a quad bike and spent the majority of the time either on the main roads or passing through communities of families who understandably didn’t seem pleased to have us driving past their homes. We had 20 mins at the beach and then returned on the same route back without any interaction with the guide apart from being told how long we had at the beach. The link to the directions on the site were incorrect which resulted in us getting lost and being late. The staff were accommodating and let us still go later on in the day but overall a very expensive tour for riding mostly on the main roads. What a shame as this was a present for my husband’s birthday.

Once again, we apologize for any inconvenience you faced and appreciate your understanding. We hope you'll give us another chance to provide you with a memorable adventure in the future.
We had a great time on a UTV ride. We had kids ages 8 and 3. They allowed us to bring our 3 year old and we just strapped in his car seat. We chose the upgraded Kawasaki UTV due to the more comfortable back seats and we are thankful we did. It drove better than our rental car. My husband had a blast driving us down the dirt roads and to the 2 beaches they took us to. We did the 3 hour tour and are glad we didn’t chose shorter. The guide provided us with goggles and we bought bandanas for $3/each to keep the dust off our faces. We swam and explored Playa Viejo and Playa Real. We could have gotten a drink at Viejo but chose to swim instead. This was one of our favorite excursions so far in Costa Rica.
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive feedback about your experience with Action Tours Company!
It was fun diving the family in the buggy, we saw a bit of the country side, and the guide who led us on an ATV was great at directing us on the trip, as we traveled on the roads. We got tropical smoothies at the bar at Puerto Viejo (separate purchase) and enjoyed the view there, but only had enough time to drink them and put our toes in the water before heading back. We went late afternoon, so traffic was a bit of a factor (might have had more time earlier in the day). Still, it was an enjoyably cap to our first full day in Tamarindo, otherwise noodling at the beach and around town. -Paul
Great UTV ride, easy to get to and take off on your adventure, they are right in Tamarindo, equipment is all in top condition and the crew is awesome.
We did this experience with guide Kenneth. We had a 5yr old so we opted for the UTV. We had an amazing time. Staff are super attentive, accommodating, and friendly. We were staying nearby in tamarindo, so they were able to pick us up. I think his name is Casey ( owner ? ) rock star, Maria was great as well. Would definitely recommend and do again .....🤟🏾👍🏾 Pura vida
Gabby was completely disrespectful after 20 minutes we were told we had to turn around which was ok I don't like being around disrespectful people. When we got back I was told I couldn't get my money back and yelled at by the owner/ worker. Even laughed at as I walked away with nothing. This place is more of a scam than a business. Avoid at all costs
We apologize if you felt that our guide was disrespectful during the tour. Our guides prioritize the safety of all participants, and if they felt that your ATV driving was posing a risk to yourself or others, they may have made the decision to return to the shop for your own safety. We understand that this may have been disappointing for you, but it was done with your well-being in mind. When you returned to the shop, it was already an hour and a half into the tour, and we offered you an alternative option of using a UTV instead. However, you declined this offer. We understand that you requested a refund, and as a gesture of goodwill, we refunded you half of your payment. This refund took into account the time spent on the tour, the use of the ATVs, and the expenses incurred, such as gasoline. We are sorry that your overall experience did not meet your expectations, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. We value your feedback and will use it as an opportunity to improve our services. If you have any further concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly. Thank you for sharing your review, and we wish you the best in your future travel experiences.
