Unforgettable Adventure—Must Do!

The tour was absolutely incredible from start to finish. From the moment we were picked up to the moment we were dropped off, every part of the experience was unforgettable. Our guide took us to a secluded beach, through a lush forest and charming town, and finally to another stunning beach. We enjoyed fresh pineapple by the water and even drove the side-by-side along the shoreline—it was pure magic. If you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure, I highly recommend this tour!

Awesome Tour!

We had an awesome experience with this company and enjoyed the ride. Bernal was our guide and he was great! He was really personable and explained a lot about the area. He took a ton of pics and videos and we got a chance to ride through the town of Matapalo, the jungle and a couple of beautiful secluded beaches we otherwise wouldn’t have seen. We even got a chance to stop for some ice-cream at a local grocery store and picked up yummy meat skewers from a street vendor. It was an authentic experience and a lot packed into the short tour time. I’d definitely recommend!!!!

Pura Vida

Wow! That’s an understatement! My husband and I were in Costa Rica May 27-June 2 Our initial purpose was to renew our wedding vows on the beach While we were there we decided to do a few excursions This side by side tour was our first and it was fantastic! It was pretty much a whole Day trip and we visited 4 beaches 1 that was only accessible by atv/side by side Cristien picked us up at our hotel and brought us to the side by sides about 1 hour drive ( along the way Cristian stopped at a local stand where a local woman was selling homemade rice pudding , my husband said it was the best he had ever tasted That right there told me we had picked the perfect excursion) ! We stopped at a beautiful beach for pictures on the way and just to absorb the scenery Once we arrived we met our tour guide Julio He was awesome After handing us goggles we were on our way ! Driving through the neighborhoods and off roading through the jungles We encountered white faced howling monkeys and Julio stopped so we could Take pictures! Tons of cattle and some Crabs on the rock/lava beach! Through it all Julio would School us on our location the importance of the areas and let us take our time to have a rum punch at one of the beaches local Bars It was fabulous! Cristian made my time in Costa Rica very memorable The pictures will speak for themselves! PURA VIDA!
