Perfect Family UTV Adventure!

Our UTV tour was one of the highlights of our trip! Darwin and his crew were friendly and knowledgeable, and they made sure everyone felt safe while keeping the ride exciting. What really stood out was how thoughtful they were with our 3- and 6-year-old boys. They made them feel included, checked on them throughout the tour, and adjusted the pace when needed so our whole family could enjoy the adventure. The scenery was beautiful, the UTVs were well-maintained, and the entire experience was organized from start to finish. If you're traveling with children and looking for an adventure that's both exciting and family-friendly, I highly recommend this tour. We made incredible memories and would absolutely do it again!

Gorgeous views! Fun time!

Our third year doing side-by-sides in CR and this year didn’t disappoint! Darwin was awesome, the beaches were gorgeous, and the view from the mountains was incredible. Despite being rainy season, it was a very dry, dusty day with minimal puddles (although we did manage to get VERY muddy). He didn’t have enough goggles for our whole group, which wasn’t great, but those of us with sunglasses survived well enough. Just wish we had a “tail,” as our 4th UTV ran a little slower and they lost us twice.

Such a great excursion!!

What a fun excursion! We did the UTV excursion with Darwin. He took us to various beaches - five of them to be exact. We saw herons, monkeys and a long brightly patterned snake hidden among rocks at the mangroves. We went to a viewpoint area where we could see the area from way up high. We ended the trip with lunch at a DELICIOUS restaurant. The food was so good! And decently priced. Try the fried yuca and shrimp ceviche. The kids and adults were both happy with full tummies and hearts full of adventure. The cliffs were steep, especially at the lookout viewpoint area. And you WILL get dirty. Wear the provided goggles, or at least sunglasses. And prepare to get wet. We stopped at two beaches to swim. One was a black sand beach. Well worth the price and the locals were so friendly. Darwin was friendly, knowledgeable and showed us so much. Loved it! Would highly recommend!

Operator response

Thank you for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you and your family enjoyed the UTV adventure with Darwin—exploring beaches, spotting wildlife, and finishing with great local food is exactly the experience we love to share with our guests. Darwin will be very happy to hear your kind words! We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another adventure with Flamingo Adventures soon!

Best part of the trip

Top of the world atv tour is now the best part of our trip … having never driven an atv I picked it up pretty quickly with instruction from Darwin. The experience was amazing! Driving up the mountain seeing the views and visiting 5 beaches. We’re excited to come back again after rainy season and do this atv tour again. Soo worth it. Would highly recommend!

Operator response

Thank you for the great review! We’re so happy to hear the Top of the World ATV tour was the highlight of your trip! Darwin will be glad to know his instructions helped make your first ATV experience easy and fun. The mountain views and beach stops make this tour truly special. We’ll be excited to welcome you back after the rainy season for another adventure with Flamingo Adventures!

Well worth the cost!!!

Darwin was an awesome guide very knowledgeable and knows the equipment! The tour is through multiple types or areas and on multiple types or surfaces! Costa Rica's roads are like driving off-road anyway! HAHAH A lot of ups and downs but some really fun riding!!! Beautiful view from the "Top of the World" tour stop!

Operator response

We really appreciate you sharing your experience! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the adventure and the incredible views at the Top of the World. Darwin will be very glad to hear your kind words about his knowledge and guiding. Costa Rica roads definitely add to the off-road fun!

Water should come AFTER dirt…

We booked this trip in advance for a 11:00 start time. We got an email at 10:15 stating that our trip was being pushed back to 12:15. We were already on our way. We wrote back advising we would have preferred more notice. They wrote us and said no problem we will leave on time. We didn’t leave on time at all, we had to wait around for quite a while. Then they told us that we would have to do the jet skis early in the day, rather than at the end (as advertised). We proceeded, as we weren’t given any choice (or notice). We found the first part of UTV experience to be fun. But then we did the jet skis. The jet skis were also fun. Please note that the jet ski people must be paid onsite at the beach, so bring cash, we didn’t. They do accept credit cards but there’s an additional fee. What was not fun was driving the UTVs after we got soaking wet from the jet skis. There are literally clouds of dirt, no windshields and the dirt sticks to you when wet. We took a long drive through a rough area (with lots of trash) to get to a modest lunch spot. The lunch spot was fine but it was very hard to enjoy when covered in wet dirt. We ended up cutting our tour short to head back as it was not fun riding around wet, in clouds of dirt.
