ATV between the mountains - Excellent tour and your Andres guide makes you feel safe on every quadricycle. The tour is best done in the rainy season to have more mud that will give you more happiness.

Great time ATVing - Great time riding ATVs. It was my first time and our guide gave us great instructions to get started quickly. My son wanted to go faster but it was his only complaint. We got picked up at our hotel and dropped off, and our guide brought water for us which was very convenient. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area

So much more fun than we expected - We had an absolute blast. We have done ATVs before at a number of places, but this was the most fun yet. The trails were great, plenty of mud and fun things to go over. The views were amazing, and our guide was SUCH a great guy! Thanks!

Beautiful volcano terrain! - Wow. This was a great tour with great terrain to ride ATVs. I will say - if you are used to riding this prob isn’t the tour for you. Some experienced people with us were bored. I, however, as a pretty novice rider (only a few times out and on diff, flatter terrain) felt very challenged. The volcanic hills were tough to learn, lots of water and mud in the rainy season made it fun though. The tour operator only speaks Spanish - so just keep that in mind for instruction and learning safety - if you feel comfy though then by all means this is very recommended.

Fun Times with Andres … a Must Do When in Costa Rica - What an awesome experience we had on our honeymoon in April booking this ATV trip with Andres! He was an awesome tour guide, came with so much experience and love for what he does. I would highly recommend using this company he takes pride in what he does took his time in showing us how to use the equipment and even took us to an area to put volcanic clay for a face mask. 10 out of 10

Spend your money elsewhere. - This was my only disappointment on our first trip to Costa Rica. Our guide was the only positive thing about our trip. Even though the ATVs ran, they were very old and run down. The check engine light was flashing the entire time. The ATVs ran very hot and since I was wearing shorts it became very uncomfortable. The actual grounds were the perimeter of someone's property. There wasn't too much to see and never got above 13 MPH. Not worth the money.

Don’t do a double - We (family of 4) decided to do 2 doubles, rather than each of us driving an ATV. They charged us $138 per person to do the double vs $105 each for single ATV. We should have each driven ourselves, it would have been a lot cheaper, plus we were stuck behind a super slow person so no adrenaline rush , plus the guide , zero personality, had the annoyed look the whole time .
