What To Expect

Playa Avellana

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.

1 hour 30 minutes • Admission Not Applicable

Playa Negra

We'll head a bit further south to a black sand beach - Playa Negra. The waves are great for surfing, snorkelling, bodyboarding, or a quick dip. The black sand is super fine, perfect for a leisurely stroll. Keep your eye out for little hermit crabs in the sand.

If you’re looking for a quality Atv tour while in Tamarindo, this is the place to do it! They have the largest most comfortable, ATV’s in town, which makes a smooth ride! And Jean Pierre, the owner and tour guide is amazing! So patient and keeps you safe and knowledgeable as you explore the many river crossings and jungle and beach views! Have had ATV tours in Costa Rica before, Jean Pierre is the best

My family recently took an epic ATV excursion with Jean Pierre of Mantaraya adventures. We had a wonderful time exploring the area of Tamarindo and beyond. Jean Pierre was a wonderful tour guide and went above and beyond to make us feel at ease. He let us set the pace, and showed us the beauty of Costa Rica. We saw beautiful beaches, howler monkeys hanging from the trees, and stopped for a leisurely, delicious lunch at Lola’s. We were not rushed in any way and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Segway ATVs were new and in great condition and Jean Pierre took the newbies out on a practice trip with him around town before we even headed out. Jean Pierre also made it a point to take my handicapped nephew on his ATV personally so that he would feel comfortable riding. He took great care of my nephew and made sure he had a great time. Jean Pierre also took tons of pictures and videos and sent them to us right away. I would highly recommend an ATV tour with Mantaraya and Jean Pierre.
Best day ever

From start to finish, this was absolutely the best ATV experience ever! I love doing ATV excursions when I travel, and this one exceeded all expectations. JP made us feel like family right away, adding a personal and welcoming touch to the adventure. The ATVs were in great condition, and the ride itself was everything you could want—thrilling, scenic, and unforgettable. If you're in Tamarindo and looking for an ATV adventure, Mantaraya Adventures is the only way to go! Highly recommend!
