ATVs, beaches, banana boats! - Juan was terrific. Instructions ahead of time were unclear. Van picks you up and drops you off at the headquarters. You pack all of your stuff in the trunk of the ATVs. There are 1 seater and 2 seaters. Wear your bathing suit the whole time under your clothing. Travel 45 minutes (dusty roads- bring or buy the bandana!). The provide helmet and goggles. After 45 minutes you arrive at Playa Conchal for 30 min banana boat ride. If you wear prescription glasses make sure you have Croakies to keep them on when you go flying off! After a half hour, you’re right about 10 more minutes to the next beach. It’s called pirate Beach. You get off and take some pictures and can get a drink or smoothie. Then it’s 45 minutes back to the home base. Expect to get full of dust! I recommend wearing sneakers.

AMAZING!! Our guide Reynols was AWESOME! - Water was too choppy for the Banana boat so we got an extra hour out in the ATV’s. Reynols took us to four different beaches. Stopping at each one and gave the local meaning of the beach. He showed us Howler Monkeys, Blue Jays, Turtle dens and so much more. We feel so blessed to have such a knowledgeable guide. Highly Recommend! And we will be doing this tour again next time we are in Costa Rica

Banana boat ride - Fantastic,full throttle and action packed adventure. Hang on but it doesn't matter your going to get dumped multiple times, this fun adrenaline adventure starts out slow meandering through the ocean as you speed up it becomes quite the action packed adventure. Not recommended for those with any type of nagging injuries. Getting thrown into the ocean you can land hard . Also make sure your phone is in a waterproof case and secure it to your lifejacket. My wife's water shoes came off a few times so make sure they are secured as best you can. Be especially careful with glasses on this tour my wife put hers in her pocket or they would have been lost. Great action packed adventure. High adrenaline not for the faint of heart. We did land fairly hard on one dumping. I'm sure you can tell them to go easy, we did not . This was our favorite family tour for the whole family. Smiles all around. ATV tour was easy and a great ride through the jungle saw some howler monkeys great fun dusty ride. You will get dusty wear older clothes and shoes if possible.

Amazing time! - This activity was so much fun for our family! We loved riding the ATVs as well as getting to explore the private beaches. They were beautiful and it was a great way to see more of the Pacific coast without having to drive from beach to beach. Highly recommend!!!

Amazing excursion - This exclusion was top notch! They were kind enough to let me know about the weather and asked if I wanted to switch the time so I didn’t experience rain. The communication is very clear and they were all super friendly. My host was Juan, he was amazing, friendly, funny and made me feel comfortable. Justin did the banana boat and it was so much fun. I felt safe with both of them and would deff do it again. 10/10 would recommend

We drive the atv to the... - We drive the atv to the beach where we did the banana boat that was super fun and exciting! We also got to stay and swim for a while after we finished on the banana boat. The people that drove us on the jet ski lets us swim and snorkel.. sadly my group didn’t get to, the person didn’t have the snorkel stuff!

Great tour guide but extremely rude owner - The tour itself was great. The guide was patient & ensured we were safe while also having a fantastic time for our group of 5. I knocked off 2 stars because the co-owner Viviana was awful. We originally booked this tour with a pick up from a house in Tamarindo. Due to issues at that house, we stayed in Hacienda Pinilla. I contacted Viviana directly to change the pickup location. She said it wouldn’t be a problem. When we arrived to the tour location, we were informed that there was a $10/person charge. No where was that listed on Viator & Viviana didn’t mention it in our chats. Had I known, we would have driven ourselves since we had a car. She was extremely rude on the phone & continuously cut me off. She offered to charge $5/person, then rescinded that offer & lied saying she never said that. I had her on speaker phone so everyone heard her say it. She then threatened to leave us in Tamarindo rather than return us to Pinilla. She needs to learn how to treat customers & the importance of excellent customer service. I was a customer & I’m a travel agent. I’m going to tell my travel agent colleagues to book with another company all because of how disrespectful & rude Viviana was.
