Side by side 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 SBSs 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 SBS adventure, it’s time to return to the trails and head back to the entrance.
**We are a 100% insured company, and the minimum age to drive the SBS is 18.**

Great experience! We got wet and muddy as advertised. Alfonso did a great job guiding.. I thought he was going to drive our family of 5 but we took turns driving and following him around. Volcano was hard to see due to weather but we crossed rivers and muddy streams. Rest of staff was great to.

We did a private side by side tour and had a group of four. We got pretty muddy (intentionally) and had so much fun! Our guide, Alan let us pull over to stretch our legs and get photos by the Rio Arenal. We also stopped by a restaurant for a bathroom break and more photos of the volcano. It was a very fun and adventurous day. The company was also understanding of us being 15 mins late due to bad traffic outside La Fortuna! Always plan for bad traffic if you’re coming from San Carlos. It’s unpredictable. Would def book with this company again. And private is the way to go!
