Manuel Antonio Off-Road ATV Adventure

Guillermo and his crew were amazing. . Great guides amazing views , great lunch after the tour. Highly recommend

We had such a great time on the Manuel Antonio ATV tour! The rainforest and waterfalls were beautiful, and the Costa Rican lunch was delicious! Oscar was our guide and made the experience even more memorable. He even took my phone and captured pictures along the way so we could enjoy the ride and have those memories to take home. Such a fun adventure and a highlight of our Costa Rica trip. Highly recommend—thank you, Oscar!

Guillermo was our tour guide and he was very good he took us through the river which was so much fun!

Oscar was a great guide, but it is just a 1.5 hour ride total on an ATV to stop at one waterfall. It’s a fun experience but overpriced.

DO NOT BOOK THIS TOUR. We booked this tour several weeks in advance for three people. The company allowed us to book 1.5 ATV’s, with the assumption that if there was another odd numbered group on the tour, one of us would share an ATV with a stranger. This is totally okay and understandable. However, after we booked the tour, and prior to the cancellation date which would allow for a full refund, the company reached out and said there would be a $4USD charge for the solo participant. It was explained to us later that this is because no other people booked the tour. While we don’t think the customer should be charged extra simply because the company failed to get other participants, this was fine because $4USD is a low amount and we still had the option to cancel for a full refund if we did not want to pay it. So we agreed. We were picked up from our hostel and driven 30 minutes to the ATV hut in the middle of the jungle. When we arrived we were advised that we owed the company $40 USD, not $4USD. We were put on the phone with the manager who admitted that he did originally tell us it was $4 but that it was a human error. Although the company originally allowed us to pay for .5 of an ATV, he told us that we cannot “rely on them to fill the other spots”. We asked if we can cancel the tour with a full refund as $40USD additional is a lot of money for us and not what we planned on paying. He said no. He then got angry with us on the phone and said that we were “taking advantage of him” even though he had lied to us about the price and then declined our request for a refund. Although he admitted that he gave us the wrong price, he kept telling us that it as our fault for not doing more research and realizing that $4USD was a low price. While In hindsight we understand $4USD would not make sense, we never anticipated that we would have to fact check the price given to us by the company. We ended up being forced to pay the $40USD because he refused to allow us to pay the original price he told us, and also refused a refund. It was also extremely disappointing being accused by the manager of the company over the phone that WE were taking advantage of HIM for an error that he even admitted to making. Our tour guide was very good and nice, we had no problems with him whatsoever. However the tour itself was not worth the price. We were told there was waterfalls to swim in on the ATV route, but the waterfall the tour took us to was on the side of the road and knee deep. The activity is simply not worth the price, especially with the additional charge if you have an odd numbered group.
