Amazing ATV Tour! - The ATV excursion we booked with Guanacaste Dream Vacations with Alex as our guide was a hit with our family! We must have spent at least 6 hours seeing areas of Costa Rica that we would have never been able to explore ourselves. From back roads in the jungle, to the beach, a local food vendor and a drink in the bar. It was a wonderful way to start our trip!

Too much fun!! - What a great adventure! We had the best of both worlds, riding ATVs up into the mountains, through creeks and along the waterfalls under the canopy of trees and stopping to do some spontaneous cliff jumping into the water! Then, down, down, down along the mountain to a beach so remote it felt like the end of the Earth. Gray sandy beach surrounded by cliffs covered in cacti and looking out to the ocean. Specatcular!

Great time! - Miller was our guide and we had a great time! He picked us up at our hotel on time. He drove us to a new resort site so we could get a good view of the area. It overlooked the bay area where our hotel was. He drove us to the ATV site and got us set up. We did the 4 hour ATV ride which was to a beach area and then into town. You could always do the 2 hour ride if you didn't want to be out all day.Saw some monkeys and birds alonf the way. We stopped at a mini mart to have a drink and snack. We got a personalized tour of the Diamante Eco Park. Miller was very informative on the animals that had been rescued. If I was by myself I would definitely not learned as much. He drove us back to the hotel. He spoke very good English. Thanks for a great time Miller!
