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!

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.

Amazing ATV Tour! - My family and I stay in Tamarindo every year and we decided to book an ATV tour with Ivan and his team through Native’s way. We are avid travelers and have done other ATV tours in Mexico, and the US. We have to say this was the best experience we have had... Ivan and his team are amazing! We highly recommend...when we go back we will definitely be scheduling through native’s way and scheduling with Ivan and his team again!

4 wheels Action + Fun - They have several options with 4 wheels cars, ATV, UTV, tours, rentals and more, so first try to define what you want and then forget the rest, they take you through many inside roads all around Tamarindo area. Staff more than perfect, fast answers, very profesional, on time and the tour guides with a lot of knowledge, they know what are they doing, Natives Way Costa Rica is more than perfect for your vacations.

Went on a ride with girl friend... - <p>Went on a ride with girl friend, booked the trip which leaves at 3:30 for a sunset ride. Very nice tour company with new clean ATV's, not small kids size worn down ATV's like other tours have, these are a big professional Honda 4x4. The only problem with this tour was that my girl friend has never driven ATV before, some part of it requires driving on the main street road with some speeding in the traffic, she was afraid and was driving slow. After we went off the road she couldn't handle it well with a limited time to learn driving it, so we had to stop and leave one ATV behind and I would take her on my ATV. The ride is not that difficult but requires some previous driving off-road skills and fast driving. If your novice at it there is just not enough time to get adjusted or learn to drive because you can miss the sunset and end up driving into the night. She was upset with the rush and giving up her ATV. After some Very dusty road especially driving behind the tour guide, I got a lot of dust to breathe and in my eyes. At the top of the mountain is so peaceful and sunset is gorgeous. We saw monkeys in the distance jumping the trees and sleeping in the tree branches. The overall tour experience is good for a dirt adventure lovers with some adrenaline pumping moments. Keep in mind there is no ocean beach driving at 3:30 tour, just up the mountain all the way. I would suggest this tour for riders with an experience driving ATV or take perhaps morning tour along the beach which should be easier with some more time to learn driving ATV. At the end of the tour, we had a bit of problem getting taxi ride back to the hotel, it was dark already and a taxi couldn't find Us at that location, so we had to wait like 30 minutes and then just went on the street to catch a bypassing taxi.</p>

Misleading Information - We were told that this would be a nature trip great for wildlife photography. It was not! Is was simply AN ATV ride that went to several beaches. Had I known, I wold have never booked the ride.
