Unleash Your Wild Side with Our ATV Tours in Jaco

At Jaco Party Villas, we know that a vacation in Costa Rica isn't just about beaches and cocktails—sometimes, it's about embracing your wild side, revving up the adrenaline, and diving headfirst into nature. That's why we offer one of the most exciting, mud-splattered, off-road adventures you can experience in Playa Jaco: our Half-Day ATV Tours.
These tours are designed for thrill-seekers, explorers, and anyone who wants to see the rugged beauty of our mountainous terrain up close and personal. Whether you're with a bachelor party, a group of close friends, or your adventurous family, our ATV rides promise unforgettable moments—and maybe even a few muddy selfies.

Your Adventure Begins with a Quick Orientation

We kick things off with a short but essential orientation. Don't worry if you've never been on an ATV before—our friendly, bilingual guides will walk you through everything you need to know. Safety always comes first, but we make sure to keep the mood light and exciting. After all, you're not signing up for a classroom lecture—you're getting ready to tear up jungle trails and splash through riverbeds!
We'll outfit you with all the necessary gear and ensure everyone feels comfortable handling their ATV. Then, it's time to fire up those engines and hit the trails!

Conquer Rugged Trails and Mountain Terrain

From the moment we leave the base, it's full-on off-road exploration. The ride takes us deep into the lush rainforest and high up into the coastal mountains surrounding Jaco. You'll navigate a thrilling variety of terrain—think rocky inclines, winding forest paths, open stretches of dirt road, and muddy stream beds that will almost certainly leave your clothes looking like souvenirs from the jungle.
One of the best things about our ATV tours is the diversity of the landscape. One minute, you're climbing steep trails with panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, and the next, you're weaving through dense tropical forest where monkeys chatter above and tropical birds flash through the trees.

Stop and Soak in the Scenic Views

As much as we love the thrill of the ride, we know it's important to stop and appreciate the beauty that surrounds us. That's why our route includes several panoramic viewpoints where you can pull over, catch your breath, and snap some jaw-dropping photos.
From these elevated vantage points, the views stretch across Jaco's coastline and deep into the verdant valleys of the interior. It's the kind of scenery that makes you forget about your phone (until it's time for that epic group photo, of course).
Our guides love sharing fun facts about the region, pointing out native flora and fauna, and making sure everyone's having a great time. It's not just about the destination—it's about enjoying every muddy, exhilarating step of the journey.

Waterfalls and Natural Pools—Yes, Please!

One of the highlights of our ATV tour is the stop at a hidden waterfall, tucked away deep in the hills. After navigating the trails and working up a good sweat, there's nothing more refreshing than jumping into a cool, natural pool at the base of a cascading waterfall.
We'll take a break here so everyone can relax, swim, or just kick back and enjoy the tranquil sounds of water and jungle. Bring your swimsuit—you won't want to miss this.
And yes, it's totally okay if your "swim" turns into more of a splash war. We encourage it. This is your adventure, after all.

For the Adventurous Spirit in All of Us

Our ATV tours are designed to be challenging but totally doable for anyone with an adventurous spirit. You don't have to be a seasoned rider to enjoy the experience. In fact, some of our best tours have included first-time drivers who end the trip grinning from ear to ear, covered in mud and buzzing with excitement.
We welcome solo travelers, couples, and groups of all sizes. Whether you want to ride solo or share a two-seater with a buddy, we've got options for everyone. If you're celebrating something special—like a bachelor party, birthday, or just escaping the daily grind—this is a perfect way to do it in style.

Group-Friendly and Totally Customizable

Traveling with a big crew? We love that. Our ATV tours are ideal for group events, and we're more than happy to customize the experience to fit your vibe. Want to go hard and fast? We'll amp it up. Prefer a more leisurely pace with lots of time for photos and swimming? We've got you covered.
Our team is here to make sure your group has an unforgettable time, no matter what you're looking for. We can coordinate transportation to and from your villa, arrange for refreshments, and even combine the ATV tour with other local experiences if you're looking to build an epic day of adventure.

What to Bring—and What to Expect

We always recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting dirty (because you definitely will), along with sturdy shoes, sunglasses, and sunscreen. If you've got a GoPro, this is the perfect time to use it—many of our ATVs come equipped with mounts so you can record your adventure hands-free.
We provide helmets, bottled water, and a guided experience that's as fun as it is safe. All you have to bring is your sense of adventure—and maybe a change of clothes for the ride back to your villa.

End the Day Back at the Villa

After the ride, there's nothing better than heading back to your private villa, kicking off your boots, and reliving the highlights over cold drinks by the pool. Our ATV tours pair perfectly with the Jaco Party Villas lifestyle—adventure by day, luxury and relaxation by night.
And if you're not ready to slow down? No problem. We can help you line up more activities, from zip-lining and sport fishing to surf lessons and nightlife experiences. Your vacation is what you make it, and we're here to help you make it epic.
