- shayl0veb0 contributionsMust Book for great ATV experience it is top tier.The trip was so amazing as we had Christian and his partners to give us a tour around on ATV. The scenery was breath taking. The tour guides were amazing so informative with excellent customer service.Written 25 September 2024
- Exploration6660700 contributionsAmazing ATV TourThe ATV tour was amazing. My tour guide was so informative and knowledgeable. Made me feel comfortable. I would recommend booking with them. Amazing customer service. 10 out of 10 recommend.Written 20 September 2024
- T4042QQjessicas0 contributionsGreat tour!We enjoyed our tour a lot! Our driver was prompt and told us a lot of information about the local area. He stopped by the road to let us see some monkeys. The waterfalls were incredible to see! One waterfall you have to cross a very high hanging bridge which is a bit scary. The hot springs and mud bath was very nice. Also you can’t actually see any view of the actual volcano, just as a heads up. Lunch was the so tasty as well!Written 31 August 2024
- tajaij20240 contributionsAdventureEverything was great. Christian and his Starr were friendly and accommodating. The atvs were so much fun. Beaches had great viewsWritten 28 August 2024
- Scenic3096720 contributionsCosta Rica Girl's TripWe used this company for a girls trip in Costa Rica. The staff was amazing! They were friendly, accommodating, and knowledgeable. They taught us a lot about Costa Rica. I would highly recommend that you use their service. You will be glad that you did!!Written 23 August 2024
- agow37120 contributionsGreat tour, New and better ATVsGreat tour! They had much newer ATVs and bigger ones than other companies we saw out there. Most companies stop at the waterfall but they allow you to go further up and have shallower areas of the river you can splash through. Tour guide took photos so we didnt have to worry about phones getting wet.Written 17 August 2024
- mytwins_130 contributionsPura Vida Ride and Tides!Bernard picked us up and dropped us off - taught us first timers how to safely ride and took us through amazing jungle paths and to several beaches - he was very knowledgeable and made sure to tell us about the unique plant and wildlife on the way . He also made sure to take plenty of pictures/video and panoramas of us. He also surprised our twins with a birthday cake at the last stop. These touches made for adventure and a lifelong beautiful memory of our family in Costa Rica - pura vida! Han familyWritten 13 August 2024

- MrsKing1010150 contributionsPura VidaWow! That’s an understatement! My husband and I were in Costa Rica May 27-June 2 Our initial purpose was to renew our wedding vows on the beach While we were there we decided to do a few excursions This side by side tour was our first and it was fantastic! It was pretty much a whole Day trip and we visited 4 beaches 1 that was only accessible by atv/side by side Cristien picked us up at our hotel and brought us to the side by sides about 1 hour drive ( along the way Cristian stopped at a local stand where a local woman was selling homemade rice pudding , my husband said it was the best he had ever tasted That right there told me we had picked the perfect excursion) ! We stopped at a beautiful beach for pictures on the way and just to absorb the scenery Once we arrived we met our tour guide Julio He was awesome After handing us goggles we were on our way ! Driving through the neighborhoods and off roading through the jungles We encountered white faced howling monkeys and Julio stopped so we could Take pictures! Tons of cattle and some Crabs on the rock/lava beach! Through it all Julio would School us on our location the importance of the areas and let us take our time to have a rum punch at one of the beaches local Bars It was fabulous! Cristian made my time in Costa Rica very memorable The pictures will speak for themselves! PURA VIDA!Written 4 June 2024
- Natalie S0 contributionsAmazing and family friendly! Great tour guides :)This was the best tour ever! From the beginning, we were met at our hotel by Cristian at the designated time. He was so polite and even stopped along the way so we could learn about some local fruits and plant history. We started our activity and hit 3 beautiful beaches, while also stopping to see monkeys, iguanas, and other animals. The ATVs were in perfect condition and it was a great pace for our family. Our tour guide, Julio, was excellent! We will definitely be coming back to this same tour :). Thank you for a wonderful day!Written 1 June 2024
- Rosy D0 contributionsActivities locations are 2nd class. OverratedActivities were good although facilities were not at all as good as pictures. Did not seem to have enough personnel and we kept losing time at each stop. Made for a very long day.Written 31 May 2024
- 872yanw0 contributionsFun adventure trip with stops at great locationsReally fun trip! We were able to book a 'custom' time at 11am, and it being just us and the guide, it was a nice little private tour. We had an extended 3hr tour in the mountains, fields, and 3 beaches (Conchal (where we took a break and had food and drinks), Real, and Rocky beach, which was not assessable by car). The terrain is definitely adventurous with curves, dips, mud, rocks, etc. We were able to see many different animals in nature. The right thumb did a lot of the leg work, so be prepared! Def felt accomplished afterwards :)Written 24 May 2024

- 564kiaraw0 contributionsPerfecto.Great experience and ATV Ride. We went to three different beaches and our tour guide, Julio, was awesome. We loved being able to see some of the local wild life on the tour as well like the howler moneys, local cattle, birds… there was even a pig at one of the restaurants on the beach lol…. We had a great time. I would definitely recommend this and/or do it again .Written 17 April 2024

Christian's tour company provided excellent service. Johnny and JC were great guides. We used Christian for Airport to hotel , to see an incredible waterfall, atvs, mud bath at the volcano and to see sloths and other animals. Do not hesitate to use Christian, you will save a lot of $$ vs what the hotels charge for non private tours!!

A great tour to a local waterfall, and then sloth watching tour. Our driver and guide, Jerson, was great. It was a bit of a drive from where we were picked up—nearly 2 hours from the JW Marriott in Hacienda Pinilla—to the first stop, but he had a couple stops pre-planned for picking anything up at a market, and restroom breaks. The Llanos de Cortez waterfall is beautiful—you can swim in it if you like, and there are restrooms there for changing. After that, another 90 minutes to the rainforest sloth tour. There, a local guide takes you on about a one hour hike. We were fortunate to see sloths, many birds, frogs, and two types of tree vipers. After that, a delicious lunch at a local restaurant, 5 minutes from the sloth viewing. Then, for us anyway, a 3 hour ride home, but again, pre-planned stops if necessary. Also, the company called the day before to verify pick-up time and location, which was very much appreciated. Highly recommend this tour, and if we have the pleasure of returning to Costa Rica, we would definitely look to this company again.

We loved our tour experience! The van was very comfortable and cool. Christian and Juan Carlos went above and beyond to make sure we saw as much flora and fauna as possible. They also were very informative about Cista Rica in general.
We enjoyed the waterfall, an excellent lunch with butterfly garden and finally the sloth tour. We saw multiple animals and even a young sloth up close!!! More than we expected. Would highly recommend this group!!!!

Used Costa Rica Adventures Travels as our round-trip private shuttle for the airport. We waited a while for the van at the airport but was nothing horrible. Was a great experience working with Christian and his team. We also did a private Rio Celeste Tour where we also did the coffee/chocolate and sloth farm tour. The tour was great minus all the rain so we did feel a little drained after all the outings and lunch. Lunch was really good. Tour and shuttle were all reasonably priced

We did the tour (private - well worth it) with Norman yesterday (April 30) & it was by far one of the best excursions we’ve ever done! It’s no wonder Norman gets such rave reviews - he’s knowledgeable & communicated so much information not only about all the animals & sights on the tour but lots about the Costa Rican culture & history.
Highly recommend this tour & especially if you get Norman!!

An absolutely awesome experience for our family of 6!! We arranged for a pick up close to our VRBO. Juan Carlos was our guide - an experienced naturalist and native Costa Rican he blew us away with his profound and endless knowledge of the flora and fauna and history of this beautiful country ! He was constantly trying to make sure we were seeing everything possible from monkeys and tree frogs to the National bird of Costa Rica ! Lunch was simply delicious and the sloth tour was incredible. Our driver was phenomenal as well - quick to respond when we had a flat tire, kind and helpful every step of the way ! We couldn’t have been more pleased with thus excursion or the hospitality and education we received !

AMAZING! I can not even express what an amazing adventure Christian and Johnny took us on. We combined a couple different options for an epic full day off resort. Christian picked us up at the airport so we got to meet him before we took our tours a few days later. Unfortunately our daughter got sick the day before our scheduled day off resort and we had to switch things around so Johnny became our guide for the day. He was just as knowledgeable and amazing as Christian. Both gentlemen shared so much information about the culture, environment and overall island feel of the country.
We started out our tour with Johnny at 7:30am. We visited a waterfall, hot springs, mud baths, rainforests within a sloth farm/sanctuary and had an wonderful authentic lunch. Something we would have never found on our own. We were also able to stop at a souvenir shop because our kids HAD to bring presents back for friends. The sloth farm was by far my favorite part as we were able to see a glorious sloth that we named Flash, close up.
It was a private tour that consisted of Johnny our local guide, my husband and I and our two kids, Boy (16) and Girl (12). They loved it all minus the mud 🤣 The Van was air conditioned which was great because it was HOT!
I really enjoyed my time in the van just talking to Johnny and Christian about the culture of Costa Rica. Johnny pulled over and gave us fresh tamarind and picked a cashew off a tree. We are so thankful we decided to hire an amazing company to take us everywhere and teach us about the beautiful Costa Rica! Pura Vida!
I was joking with Christian when he dropped us back off at the airport when we were all sad we were leaving. I said if our flight got cancelled I’d be calling him. He said we could go have dinner at his house and I honestly think he would have had us over ❤️ Thank you for making our trip to Costa Rica extra amazing!!

We went to one waterfall called Llanos del Cortes around 9am and there wasn’t a lot of people so we got really pretty pics! Than the sloth tour. We saw about four different sloths and one was a baby. Also saw many other animals. He has really informative books about animals, plants, and birds of Costa Rica so it’s super informative and helpful during the search for animals. The lunch that was included was some of the best authentic Costa Rican food I had during my trip and the restaurant has a butterfly farm attached to it so it was super beautiful.
