Overview

ATV Real Adventure Tour takes you on an exhilarating ride through the jungle and mountains, with opportunities for breathtaking views and visits to stunning waterfalls. The perfect way to cool off on a hot Costa Rican day, flying through the jungle and rivers on your very own ATV for the morning or afternoon!

Start off on a practice course, with mud puddles & potholes to help you get accustomed to maneuvering the ATV. Then, ride through a big palm plantation before arriving at the first river to cross, don’t be afraid to get wet! Then, you will cross multiple typical villages & the river “Palo Seco” while climbing up to the top of the mountains. Before you arrive, you will stop to swim in a hidden waterfall, a good solution to refresh yourself & take some cool pictures! A typical & delicious Costa Rican meal is included after the tour (if you choose the morning ride), or before (if you choose the afternoon tour).

You will have the choice between a single or double vehicle, and you and your partner can switch drivers throughout the trip. They also stop at various points and waterfalls on the road to take pictures of you or your group if you wish. The guide will carry cold water on these ATVs for everyone to refresh after riding around.

If you want adrenaline, this tour is for you!

ATV Real Adventure was born in a small town called Pocares in Parrita, Puntarenas, Costa Rica in 2013. It was an idea to fulfill the expectations that existed in Parrita’s regional tourism. In October 2015, that idea came true when Tourist Services ATV REAL ADVENTURE became a fact. The company was created to be developed near tourist areas such as JACO, PARRITA, QUEPOS, and DOMINICAL. Its main goals are innovation, efficiency, and quality in every single adventure. At ATV REAL ADVENTURE you can enjoy the revolutionary Automatic Yamaha Kodiak 450cc, 2020!

PLEASE NOTE: If you book the afternoon tour, LUNCH will be served first.

Amazing experience

They picked us up and dropped us off right at our hostel in quepos which was great(about a 30 minute drive) We started off with a meal that was delicious, just a regular Casado that was super filling and you can tell was made with love!. Our guides name was Kevin and he was excellent in every sense his instructions on how to properly operate and run the atvs was great. Through our whole adventure he was constantly offering to take pictures and videos for us to make it such an unforgettable experience. You cross rivers and puddles through your adventure until you make it to a small waterfall hidden up in the trees, the only people in our group was just me and my friend so we had it all to ourselves, didn’t feel rushed at all and were able to chill there until we were ready to continue.at the top of a hill you had an amazing view of the scenery and ocean and we even got a snack of watermelon with our fantastic view . Highly recommend

We had a great time seeing Costa Rica from this unique perspective. The ride was great fun and Kevin, our guide made sure that we saw great vistas and enjoyed a cool plunge in the waterfall along the way. The Honda ATVs were a blast to operate and Kevin was very safety conscious. It was all topped off with a delicious local Tico meal at the end.

We started off in the palm fields before ascending a small dirt path up a mountain. On the trip we drove through fresh spring water, stopped for a swim in the most amazing waterfall before making our way back for a home cooked meal. We were treated like family and I’d highly recommend the experience.

My friend and I did the ATV tour and loved it!!! The guide was very funny and very caring. It was my first time on an ATV and found it very easy to ride. The waterfalls and mountain and jungle were breathtaking. And we did the 2pm tour so we cousin catch the sunset. Expensive but all Costa Rica tours are. Recommend!

This adventure was a last minute add to our trip to Costa Rica and I am so happy we did! My kids 11 and 16 absolutely loved it! Kevin was patient and encouraging with my daughter as she learned to drive the ATV and took us on an incredible ride up the mountain. We went through mud and rivers and then stopped to take a dip in a waterfall! When we returned to the start we enjoyed a delicious home cooked meal. Highly recommend!

This atv adventure was such a blast! Kevin was an awesome tour guide! The ride was well worth the money. It was a long ride (but not too long). Lots of mud holes, if you like to get dirty. The waterfall was awesome. we enjoyed the sweetest watermelon I have ever had, while standing in the middle of the jungle. Talk about epic. afterwards we had a yummy meal!

There was a good amount of rain, I’d recommended to bring a light water proof jacket.

We loved this tour. By the end Kevin felt like family as we laughed and told stories. The back country side could only be seen like this on the atvs. We stopped and swam in the waterfall which was refreshing after riding.

This activity was awesome. We booked the afternoon spot and had wonderful, authentic Costa Rican food before getting on the ATVs. The actual trip was long and we got to ride on many different terrains. The waterfall that we went all the way out to was a hidden gem. The tour guides were great and very friendly. I highly recommend booking this tour!!

Excellent staff, had a great time ATV-ing through jungle and up the mountains. Stopped at a private waterfall for a refreshing swim and then again along the way to enjoy the mountain views. The Meal at the end was delicious. Highly recommended.

We stayed in the capital and came down for the day. The ATVs are easy to drive and fun to maneuver. The dip in the waterfall is refreshing and the views can’t be expressed in writing.

Def bring a change of clothing and get muddy and play hard. The guides are welcoming and informative, but also fun.

The only thing I would change, no children tours. I would ask about private ones so you are not limited on speed. Traffic is bad enough in CR you don’t need it simulated on an adventure by a slowpoke.

My friend and I booked the double ATV and we really enjoyed the tour. The views and location was perfect. The guides had a lot of patience with the tourist that were new to the ATVs and it made our tour that much special. We got to stop and see a waterfall on the tour and we would recommend this tour.

The ATV tour was a fun and unique way to see the Costa Rican countryside. We rode for an hour away from base through palm forests, dirt roads, neighborhoods, and plenty of river crossings. After a pit stop at a waterfall, we made the muddy trek back (for a total of two hours on the four wheelers – your thumb will be sore!). The guides were fun while still upholding safety standards. Delicious traditional Costa Rican meals awaited us at back at camp!

Highly recommend! Breathtaking tour, one of the best you can do. My fiancé and I were the only two people in our group so it was like a private tour! We did the early tour. We shared a double ATV and each got a turn to drive. The scenery was so amazing and we also visited and got pictures at a small waterfall. Our guide was great and I felt safe the entire time. A thrilling and a great way to see Costa Rica.

I can’t say enough good things about this experience. We brought our two kids, the youngest rode in a side by side and oldest on a regular 4×4. The terrain was fun and varied, perfect for our group age 4-63 but never boring!!! We all had a blast and tore it up, splashing through some great puddles and through beautiful scenery. The waterfall midway was AMAZING! What a hidden gem. I’ll never forget playing with my children here. And the lunch they served was not only delicious, but such a beautiful, heartfelt traditional meal. I felt like family! You won’t regret this experience.

I’ve been on ATVs before but have never used them to the full extent as we did on this tour. Be prepared to go through water, dirt trails, and paved roads as you climb to breathtaking views! The tour guides were great (bilingual, which was very helpful) and took pictures of us throughout the trip. The meal provided at the end was delicious and an awesome bonus. The whole team was very hospitable, I highly recommend!

My girlfriend and I were the only 2 people in our group so we had the tour guide all to ourselves!!!

It felt like a video game. Riding up mountains. Up rock paths. Through the mud. And even though small bodies of water. We stopped midway and took pictures at the waterfalls and overlooking a breathtaking view of the mountain!

Our tour guide was amazing. He even took a video of us riding so that we can share it with friends.

Unbelievable experience all around!!!
