The adrenaline-pumping action of an ATV and a relaxing float down the river provides the perfect way to experience Costa Rica. Home to one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet, you will gain a personal look into nature's paradise.

Upon meeting your expert guide at your Puntarenas pier, you will begin your hour-long journey through the beautiful Coast Rican countryside in the comfort of an air-conditioned deluxe vehicle or minibus. Along the way, your knowledgeable local guide will provide an entertaining narrative of history and anecdotes as you pass by mango, coffee, sugar, and citrus plantations, diverse fruit stands, and rural farming communities.

Upon arrival at the scenic property along the Central Pacific Coast, Tarcoles River, and Carara Adventure Park, you may take the time to visit the restrooms and explore the surrounding area before jumping on the back of your very own ATV.  Following a brief safety presentation and test drive on a specially designed course, you will venture out onto the jungle trails following behind your knowledgeable local guide. You will explore the jungle up close and personal on dirt paths, river crossings, rainforest, teak plantations, spectacular vantage points, and two beaches. Your ATV journey ends at Bochinche Beach, a pristine private spot, where you will enjoy refreshing bottled water, fresh local fruit, and a quick swim to cool down if time allows.

After a short break, your adventure continues with a short ride to the Tarcoles River where an abundance of wildlife awaits. You will enjoy an hour-long eco boat ride discovering the massive crocodiles, multiple aquatic birds, scarlet macaws, howler monkeys, and other amazing tropical species along the way.

At the conclusion of your excursion, you will return to your Puntarenas cruise pier.
