Awesome experience - The whole thing was a blast from beginning to end. Michael, our guide was the best. We did the 3-hour tour but if you have the time, I suggest the whole day.

We had a great time! - This was our family's favorite excursion while in Costa Rica. I think what made it so great was our tour guide, Danny. He was friendly and helpful and fun. He knew how to use my phone's camera better than I did, and took some great pictures for us as well. The trails were not scary steep or rocky or too adventurous for me or my two kids. Bring face covers. We bought bandanas at the atv place, and I'm glad we did. Our guide provided googles. We were very dusty. Danny pointed out animals to us and told us interesting things about the towns and places we went through. He helped make sure my kids were safely secured in the back after we all got out to check stuff out. There are atv tours everywhere, but Danny our guide really made this one great.

Worth it!!! - We had an EXCELLENT trip with Danny. The scenery was amazing and the food at the local restaurant where we had lunch was delicious. You will be dusty and dirty at the end of the tour, but it's worth it! It is also very safe for families to travel in these buggies.

Great Buggy Tour of the Jaco Mountainside with AXR - Our family had a wonderful day with Luis in a buggy tour of Jaco’s surrounding mountains. The views were outstanding and Luis did a nice job of explaining landscapes and the local nature along the way. The jump into the waterfall pool was very refreshing. The tour included a stop at a local restaurant atop one of the mountains. We decided to have lunch there. Prices were good and the food very good. My daughter and I had ceviche and my wife had rice and beans with pork. Yummers all the way around. It was also the first time I had limonada con yerba buena or lemonade with mint. i had one at every meal afterwards. Crazy refreshing even when I added a shot (or two) of Tito’s the last few nights. Lastly, the equipment we used was in great shape and we never felt rushed in any way. We recommend this tour thru AXR.

Really fun - I think the tour was overpriced, but my husband lived it and gives it 5 stars. We booked the 2 hour buggy tour. We drove up a winding path to a restaurant at the top of a mountain. The views were spectacular, but you'd think for $170 they could provide a bottle of water, but no drinks were included. We paid $22 US for 2 non-alcoholic fruit juices (really). That's outrageous. Anyway, driving back we went through a riverbed and got completely splashed with mud! Super fun. The guide had a face/neck cover thing, and if I do this again I'll get one too.

Awesome Tour! - We would 200% recommend this tour. We had a blast with our guide. Visiting waterfalls, driving through the river, visiting the beach, stopping at peaks with the most beautiful views and learning about the wildlife in the area. We even stopped at a restaurant with the most beautiful view, delicious food and drinks. We loved it so much we would go again next time we visit.

Great value for money - I like doing buggy tours and I have done in various countries. This one is the one that I would definitely recommend for the following reasons: very reliable vehicle from a well know brand (Honda for the one that I used), the condition of the vehicle was very good (in most cases vehicles of similar companies tend to be quite worn-out), I was surprised to see that it was a fully personalised and private experience - we had the tour guide (Ninja) leading the way on a motorcycle and it was just our buggy and the tour guide, we were more than pleased with the tour guide - very knowledgeable, open and fun. The guide took us to a nice soda where they served very good food and it was like a nice viewpoint. All, in all, I would say that it was very good value for money. We rode 2 people, but the buggy had a capacity of 5 and we understood that bringing extra friends would carry a marginal cost. Also, for safety issues, I always recommend paying for a buggy / UTV instead of an ATV. The Honda that we drove felt very safe, it had assisted steering wheel (which is big plus, as on most occasions you end up running muscle fever from turning the wheel when it is not hydraulically assisted), it had roof (which is great from shade and protection against rain) and it had actual doors (sometimes it happens that instead of actual metal doors you only get a mesh.
