Full-Day Private UTV Tour

Fire up your UTV and dive into a pulse-pounding full day of private off-road action—this is your VIP ticket to wild terrain and epic thrills!

A Day of Adventure, Your Way

This is no ordinary tour. Designed for thrill-seekers who crave freedom and flexibility, this full-day private UTV experience is fully customized to match your interests and skill level. Clocking in at nearly 100 kilometers of dynamic terrain, your day will be filled with shifting landscapes—from thick rainforest trails to breezy hilltops, and from rocky riverbeds to charming rural villages untouched by time.

Whether you’re splashing through streams, powering up steep jungle paths, or pausing to enjoy a panoramic ocean view, every mile brings something new. Your bilingual guide knows these backroads like the back of their hand and will tailor your route in real time, ensuring every twist and turn delivers an unforgettable moment.

Starting Off Strong

After we pick you up from your Jaco or Los Suenos location, we’ll get you checked in at our tour headquarters. Here, you’ll gear up with premium safety equipment, go over trail etiquette and handling tips, and take a few practice runs in your UTV to get a feel for the machine. Built for stability and shared excitement, your side-by-side offers a smooth ride even over rough terrain.

When you’re ready, we’ll head straight for the surrounding mountains that rise above Jaco, starting our climb through forest-covered hills and winding dirt tracks. Midway up the range, we’ll take a refreshing break at the scenic Zorro Waterfall—a stunning 35-foot cascade hidden deep in the jungle. While you can't swim at this waterfall because there's no pool, you'll enjoy the cool waters and the serene surroundings of Cascada del Zorro - and fear not! We'll visit a different waterfall for swimming later on.

Views That Leave You Speechless

After snapping some gorgeous pics at Zorro, we’ll climb even higher into the highlands. The road may be bumpy, but your UTV buggy makes it easy to access the kind of views few visitors ever get to see. At the mountaintop lookout, take a moment to absorb a 360-degree panorama of Costa Rica’s diverse terrain. From your vantage point, you’ll see Jaco’s coastline, the Nicoya Peninsula, and even the distant shores of Puntarenas — all framed by rainforest in every direction.

It’s a perfect moment for a bit of Zen, take a deep breath, enjoy the view, and capture a few selfies before we cruise the ridgeline toward Playa Hermosa, catching glimpses of the canopy rolling out beneath us like a living, breathing sea of green.

Country Flavors in the Hills

Our descent begins on the remote paths of La Gloria, winding down into the Tulin River Valley. The route showcases Costa Rica’s rural heart—wild landscapes, sleepy farms, and the occasional curious cow. We’ll make our lunch stop in the hillside village of Mata de Platano, where you’ll enjoy a traditional Costa Rican meal served with authentic hospitality.

A delicious casado—featuring rice, beans, local vegetables, and your choice of protein—gives you the fuel you need for the second half of the day. It’s a satisfying, down-home experience in a spot few tourists ever find.

Hidden Villages & Scenic Trails

From there, we venture deeper into the countryside, winding through peaceful hamlets like Montelimar, Angostura, Pavona, and San Gabriel. These tiny villages may be quiet, but they’re rich in personality, each offering a glimpse into Costa Rica’s simple, unhurried way of life.

Eventually, we’ll reach Las Delicias, a small but lively community famous for its motorsports scene despite its tiny population. This mountain outpost draws riders from all over the region for UTV and motocross events, and you’ll feel the pulse of that energy as we pass through.

Our loop continues through Bijagual before we begin our final descent back toward basecamp, where your incredible journey began.
