Private ATV tours are a perfect way to cover the variety of exciting and challenging terrains while offering spectacular views of the Arenal Volcano. (on a clear day)
Guides will navigate you through rivers, mud, and the Costa Rican Jungle, sharing knowledge of Costa Rica’s incredible biodiversity.
The tour starts with a warm-up track to help you get comfortable with operating the machines. Once the ATVs are warmed up, we’ll progress to the more advanced sections, bringing you closer to the volcano. Here, you will have a short break to take in the stunning views of the La Fortuna ranges and the majestic Arenal Volcano.
After enjoying the backcountry and some trails, you head to the Arenal River for a drink and a refreshing swim. (weather permitting)
Once you’ve relaxed and cleaned off some of the mud from your ATV adventure, it’s time to return to the trails and head back to the entrance.
**Note we are a 100% insured company, and the minimum age to drive the ATV is 16.**

Our tour guide Leo was amazing. We went on a private tour. He took us through the rainforest. It was more than expected very adventurous and fun would definitely recommend and if he’s there ask for Leo.

Had a great private tour with Ramon today and couldn't be happier. I was super inexperienced and kind of a $hit show but he was so patient and helpful i felt empowered to continue and had the time of my life!

We had an absolute blast riding Junior. He was an amazing guide for riding the ATVs. But also pointed out some awesome wildlife along our trip! Definitely will do this again!

Really fun experience and excellent staff. Definitely worth paying for the private tour to avoid following or waiting for 5-8 other ATVs in a long line. We did the 2:30pm tour and our tour lasted exactly 2 hours (3-5pm). Our instructor Alfonso was really funny and safe. We rode between 15-25 km/h on dirt tracks and 30-50 km/h on roads, though would’ve been fun to go faster on the dirt tracks. The Viator description isn’t very clear so I’ll mention a few things I wish were mentioned: (1) the Viator seller is PACR, but the actual tour provider is Arenal ATV Wheels (2) the pickup is 2:10pm for the 2:30pm start time, though they are thankfully flexible for the private tour (3) make sure to wear a raincoat if it’s rainy because it barely gets muddy. In fact it rained the entire time in January and we never saw the Arenal volcano. Would recommend booking in March or other clearer months as our guide recommended so you can enjoy the views and avoid the wet cold.

What an amazing activity that lets you see the beauty of Costa Rica! Our tour guide was super helpful and nice (even when we got stuck) and it was such a fun ride- rain or shine! (the rain actually is perfect to get you a little less muddy) plus we stopped at a beautiful river where we could cliff jump and hang by natural vines! definitely a highlight of my trip to La Fortuna!!
