Highlights
  • Manuel Antonio - We will kick off the day after a short drive from your hotel, with a morning meet and greet at the North area of Manuel Antonio in our headquarters to have a brief overview of the trip itinerary, vehicle operation and to answer any questions you may have.

As soon as we finish with the instructions and safety directions we’ll kick off the day driving from San Antonio de Damas into an area of natural waterfalls and springs located in a magnificent rainforest, we will pass through some of the typical yet fascinating plantations in the region, rice, African palm, teakwood, and papayas; winding switchbacks and muddy streams of African palm orchard, part of a 135,000-acre farm that grows this palm fruit for the production of oil.

We will go on a 15-mile journey will take you through the dirt streets of the resident villages of La Parcela and San Rafael.

Our guide will share interesting information along the travel concerning local tourism development, sustainability, and the local aspects that define our culture.

As we hit half of the trip, we’ll leave ATVs on the trail for a brief hike through the primary rainforest, if we get lucky some we might see toucans, sloths. squirrel monkeys and several tropical bird species. And of course the superb rainforest landscapes.

We will stop by a fantastic waterfall, where you can swim in refreshing, crystalline waters.

Afterward, you will hike back to your ATV and return across the palm fruit plantations, to the adventure center where. A traditional Costa Rican meal will be waiting for you.

You will have time to relax after the adrenaline of your ATV activity and finally jump in a shuttle for a transfer back to your hotel in Manuel Antonio

Wonderful!! - Great trip, attentive and kind guides. The riding was fun and not overly challenging. And the hike to the waterfall was reasonable and a refreshing break. The hike is difficult if not sure footed, but not far.

Great Fun! - The tour started on the wrong foot. We were driving ourselves (not a hotel pick up) to the meeting point and the direction on the website was wrong. We landed up 20 minutes away from where we were supposed to be. We called the office and they sent a link with the correct directions. It brought us to a weird building, nobody around and no signage.. We had to call them again (very frustrating) and they said they were sending someone to come meet us, which they did. The tour itself was great. Our guide was very helpful in giving instructions prior to the tour, was friendly and knowledgeable. I was riding with my son in the back of me and we loved it! The waterfall was a little underwhelming ... the tour guide provided us with fresh and delicious watermelon and water bottles. It was a very hot day! Lunch was also delicious. My only complaint about the tour itself was that we went a little slow but that was mainly because it's a "community" tour, no passing, and the 2 people in front were young teenagers , so we had to follow their speed throughout the tour. But overall, it was a great experience. I would give this tour a 4 1/2 star.

ATV tour of some great terrain and beautiful scenery... - Great ATV tour of back roads, a Palm plantation and an excursion into the jungle to see a really pretty waterfall and natural pools. Aron led our foursome on the ATV portion and did a good job of keeping us safe. It was a solid afternoon of fun and exploration.

Had a blast! - It was a great time. My husband and two sons drove through the palm plantation, through rivers, up and down some nice terrain. You don’t have to necessarily be experienced to participate.

Slow; Worst Tour in Costa Rica. - The guides have egos and were dismissive. The dirt bike they gave me was originally broken and I pointed out that it didn't work how they instructed. When I insisted the controls were off they flipped it but made a big deal out of it. At the beginning I passed my mom at a very slow speed. The guide got off the bike and yelled at me and told me that I broke the rules. Then we never went over about 15 mph the whole time. The trip is mostly dirt road and palm plantation. I asked them at the rainer stop if we could go faster but they wouldn't. They said it was safety, and obviously we were way slower than a safe speed. We were in Costa Rica for 2 weeks and went on tours nearly every day. This one was the worst and only one I wouldn't have done again.
