UTV Family Adventure - We had a great time on a UTV ride. We had kids ages 8 and 3. They allowed us to bring our 3 year old and we just strapped in his car seat. We chose the upgraded Kawasaki UTV due to the more comfortable back seats and we are thankful we did. It drove better than our rental car. My husband had a blast driving us down the dirt roads and to the 2 beaches they took us to. We did the 3 hour tour and are glad we didn’t chose shorter. The guide provided us with goggles and we bought bandanas for $3/each to keep the dust off our faces. We swam and explored Playa Viejo and Playa Real. We could have gotten a drink at Viejo but chose to swim instead. This was one of our favorite excursions so far in Costa Rica.

Amazing time - We did this experience with guide Kenneth. We had a 5yr old so we opted for the UTV. We had an amazing time. Staff are super attentive, accommodating, and friendly. We were staying nearby in tamarindo, so they were able to pick us up. I think his name is Casey ( owner ? ) rock star, Maria was great as well. Would definitely recommend and do again .....🤟🏾👍🏾 Pura vida

Great family fun!!! - Gabby got us all set up! They provided us with bandanas for the dust from the off road + helmets. It was SO much fun on the back roads to Playa Puerto Viejo. Jader was our guide and he was very knowledgeable about the town + fun to ride with!! We stopped at the beach and got to see a tree full of monkeys and enjoy a yummy Pina Colada! Thanks for the fun time we had a blast!!!

3 Hour UTV Tour with Yadar - We decided to do the UTV since my wife isn't that great of a driver and we have gemelo niños so the 4 seater worked out for us perfectly. We saw monkeys, climbed up to a sea cave and had a blast going through the rivers at full speed. We also rented a golf cart for the week and did a sunset horse ride all through ATV Tamarindo - Action Tours. The staff is fun and very helpful. They made our trip exciting and memorable.

UTV 2 hour Tour-Amazing and soooo Fun! - We had Gabi as our tour guide. She was excellent, friendly and made sure we had a great time! My teen drove one buggy and my husband drove the other with our 10 year old. It was nice to have the option for 2 seater side by side. Gabi made sure to show us monkeys in the trees because we hadn’t seen any yet on our trip. We booked this before we left and it was so nice to have it confirmed before we even left for vacation. You cannot go wrong with this tour company. Great people, they speak great English and their equipment was top notch!

Fun, but wish we had more time - It was fun diving the family in the buggy, we saw a bit of the country side, and the guide who led us on an ATV was great at directing us on the trip, as we traveled on the roads. We got tropical smoothies at the bar at Puerto Viejo (separate purchase) and enjoyed the view there, but only had enough time to drink them and put our toes in the water before heading back. We went late afternoon, so traffic was a bit of a factor (might have had more time earlier in the day). Still, it was an enjoyably cap to our first full day in Tamarindo, otherwise noodling at the beach and around town. -Paul

Disappointing! - I don’t like to give negative feedback on a trip but I feel this tour advertises something that didn’t seem to be on offer for us. We did this trip with our two teenage boys and even though the staff were friendly and helpful, this tour was not what we expected in any way at all. After reading the reviews, we thought this would be an exciting off-road experience with a chance to take in some beautiful scenery. We ended up following a guide who was up front on a quad bike and spent the majority of the time either on the main roads or passing through communities of families who understandably didn’t seem pleased to have us driving past their homes. We had 20 mins at the beach and then returned on the same route back without any interaction with the guide apart from being told how long we had at the beach. The link to the directions on the site were incorrect which resulted in us getting lost and being late. The staff were accommodating and let us still go later on in the day but overall a very expensive tour for riding mostly on the main roads. What a shame as this was a present for my husband’s birthday.

Avoid this place - Gabby was completely disrespectful after 20 minutes we were told we had to turn around which was ok I don't like being around disrespectful people. When we got back I was told I couldn't get my money back and yelled at by the owner/ worker. Even laughed at as I walked away with nothing. This place is more of a scam than a business. Avoid at all costs
