Local know-how
ATV & Off-Road in Tamarindo, honestly
Standard tours run 2–3 hours on a guided loop: dusty ranch roads, dry-forest trails, a viewpoint or beach stop, and in green season the occasional river crossing. You'll get dirty — that's the point. Closed shoes, sunglasses, and a bandana or buff make the ride much more comfortable.
Most operators require drivers to be adults with ID; kids typically ride as passengers or in side-by-side buggies — check age minimums per tour before booking. In dry season the dust is serious; in green season it's mud instead. Either way, don't wear anything you love.
Before you book
- Wear closed shoes and clothes you don't mind ruining
- Bring sunglasses or ask about goggles — dust is real in dry season
- Check driver age and license requirements before booking
- Doubles and buggies are the family option — confirm passenger age minimums
