We spent three hours touring beaches and backcountry roads as well as visited local areas so we could see how the locals live.Victor was a great guide and he customized the tour to our preferences which made it enjoyable for everyone in our group of 12 people.

Very nice guy, good english ! He gave us pertinent informations about towns and culture.Good ATV driver, and excellent snorkelling guide, he show us so many fish ! I recommend to take this tour with Gilbert ! Brand new looking ATV !Posted on Tripadvisor Matt_UKTXVerified Amazing Experience We went on a beach tour with Josue (Gallo) and Gilberto (Torito) both of which were excellent. We had an amazing adventure. The driving itself in an open-air buggy, with a four-speed manual transmission, was very enjoyable. Add in the spectacular scenery and you have a winning combo. The guys did frequent stops for water, and snacks, which were amazing - we had home made brownies, cookies, fresh fruits, and drank from an ice-cold fresh coconut. How can you beat that?Do this tour without hesitation, it's a blast. The only thing better than the tour were our two tour guides and the owner Brian, who picked us up at our hotel.Posted on Tripadvisor zachieeeBVerified Perfecto!!! Kevin and Josue did an amazing job, showing us wildlife and everything else. There's so much to see and do on this excursion and it is highly recomended.

Súper profesionales, servicio al cliente excelente. Todos los lugares que conocimos muy lindos, mecanicamente cada buggy está en perfecto estado.Posted on Tripadvisor sixtylbs3Verified Amazing adventure! We did the 6-hr cultural buggy tour and had an absolutely amazing time! We were fortunate enough to get a private tour, as we were the only ones booked in that day. It was a great way to see Costa Rica off the beaten path, cruising on back roads up into the mountains complete with shallow river crossings and ending the tour on the beaches. The highlight was a stop at an authentic working farm where the grandmother made us tortillas over an open fire (made from their own ground corn flour) that we got to enjoy with their homemade cheese! We also got to have some serious fun digging our way across a deep sand beach in our buggy! The guides were friendly and knowledgeable, sharing bits of info via walkie-talkie as we drove. They spotted out monkeys for us and picked local fruits along the way for us to try. They also took pictures and videos for us and shared them with us afterward via email! Would highly recommend this adventure!!
