4.8(24 reviews)About This Experience
Embark on an unforgettable off-road adventure! We'll head south from the beach town of Tamarindo to explore some of the Guanacaste coast's finest beaches - Playa Pinilla, Playa Avellanas and Playa Negra. Take in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Tamarindo area as we meander through lush forests, traverse mountains, and conquer river crossings. Marvel at the pure natural beauty of Guanacaste as we head down off-road trails through beautiful tropical forest and breathtaking coastal vistas. Along the journey, keep your eyes peeled for Costa Rica’s diverse wildlife - from mischievous monkeys to sun-soaked iguanas and an array of tropical birds. This tour is ideal for both families and thrill-seekers alike, ensuring a safe and fun ride with all essential equipment provided.
We have more than just one ATV so if you are traveling with more people just go along and book it as many times as needed or contact us directly for help.

We'll stop at 2 beaches that are close in proximity to each other.
We'll stop at 2 beaches that are close in proximity to each other. Both beaches fall under the larger umbrella of Playa Avellana but are 2 separate beaches. The first is Playa Pinilla - a small but beautiful white sand beach that's perfect for a swim and a bit of sunbathing. About as chill a place as you can imagine. Then we'll head a bit further south to Playa Avellanas, where the sand is smooth and the water is fine. It's a wonderful beach for surfing, bodyboarding, and even fishing. Take a leisurely stroll along the long stretch of white sand beach.
