This was hands down the...
This was hands down the best excursion I’ve ever been on! The instructors were incredibly friendly and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time from start to finish. The trail itself was beautiful and so much fun. Definitely bring your bathing suit so you can jump in the water along the way! I’d absolutely come back and bring my friends with me the next time I visit the country.

Myself and son took the 2 hour ATV tour, we had one other young man in our group.
Our guide was very knowledgeable, made sure we were comfortable using the ATV”s.
We went to 3 beaches and our guide gave us lots of facts and showed us hidden gems.
Great tour !

GREAT guides and fun experience!
Really fun ATV tour! The tour lasted a decent amount of time and we stopped at two beaches to stretch our legs, unwind, and get food/ drinks. We arrived and had a change of plans as the bride got hurt and didn't ride an ATV, they were very accommodating and made sure we had appropriate knowledge of the ATVs and skills. Our guides, Fernando and Gustavo, were GREAT! I ended up having to drive a stick shift ATV for the first time and the lead instructor was terrific at ensuring I knew which gear shifts to switch into and when.
Pro Tip: make sure to wear clothes/shoes you don’t mind getting muddy or dirty. Possibly wear a swimsuit underneath if you'd like to get in the water, and make sure you have a face covering because it will get dusty!

Good experience!
Great experience! Native’s way was able to accommodate us with a last minute booking and the guide did a wonderful job of taking us to beaches and through back roads where we saw iguanas and beautiful sights.

Ivan the incredible!
We just came back from Costa Rica and decided to do an ATV, which I’ve done in the past but not like this! Our guid was Ivan and was amazing! Not only did he take us on some unique trails but he adapted to our riding abilities (done this before) and really allowed us to open up the throttle and have fun. I highly recommend you request Ivan for any of the tours that he offers. I will definitely be doing more the next time I visit!

AMAZING!!!!!!
I went on a atv tour with my family along with some friends. The tour guide was amazing, he was always trying to find ways to make us feel safe and comfortable, his name is Ander. Ander was always taking pictures, showing us wildlife, beautiful beaches and most importantly an amazing time. We even enjoyed riding on the dirt road because Ander made it so entertaining at all times. I recommend this atv tour for anyone out there it was the best thing I did in Costa Rica the whole time. On top of that the atvs were super clean and in great conditions, we did not have a single problem the whole time. P.S I would ask for Ander the tour guide because he was helpful and amazing throughout the whole trip.
