Oh goodness what an adventure! I went with my 6 year old and had an amazing time. We stopped in a local town convenience store where we bought ice cream, which was nice on a hot day. We went to a beautiful beach where they are building the new Waldorf Astoria resort and the water and waves were so awesome. We also stopped by a waterfall where we saw live monkeys - NICE!
One thing - wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty. I made the mistake of wearing a light colored outfit and had to throw it away when I got home since the dirt was embedded. You will get VERY dusty and dirty. I brought a water cover for my phone to take pics so the dirt wouldn't get on my phone. Take minimal belongings because anything you take will get dirty. They offered water from a cooler so that was a nice perk too.

Carlos was a great guide! The best part was going up a crazy scary narrow path to the top of a mountain to see an amazing sunset over Panama Bay! It was the most harrowing and fun drive I've ever done (and I've done a lot of ATV driving!). We also went through many streams and dry creek beds that was fun and challenging. And Carlos took us to a great waterfall and encouraged us to jump from the top (probably a 15-ft drop!) which was exhilarating. Carlos was also very patient as we switched between 3 drivers.
We were also lucky that we were the only ones on the tour, so it was like a private tour with Carlos!

The best don’t hesitate, super professional and felt extremely safe the whole time. Prepare for dirt & dust they provide a face cover& goggles. I’d book any excursions through them.

This tour was NOT what we thought it would be! No stopping along the way to see any view points, towns or anything scenic. just one straight shot to a single boring destination turn around and come back home. As we were getting ready to return back a passerby noticed one of the buggies had a flat tire. We were not upset by this as these things happen. We assisted our guide in changing the tire ( he did not know how to use the jack or where to put it ) and we’re on our way. Once we return back to the Tico Tour Office, we were informed that they expected us to pay for the tire. This was a huge shock to us considering we were on a tour driving behind a guide. I would understand having to pay for something like this if we were negligent in someway but we were following our guide who was controlling the speed as well as the destination.
So it is not like there was any opportunity to do anything inappropriate with the vehicle to be blamed for such negligence. We spoke with the owner of the company who informed us that signing up for the buggy tour it’s like renting a car and you are liable for anything that goes wrong with it. So just be warned that your very expensive buggy trip may end up costing you much more money than you expected for something that is totally out of your control.

We were disappointed with this tour. Looking at the advertising and videos we expected more. It just seemed like we drove and drove and drove. Just stopped for a photo op once, and then at Las Catalinas resort area where we bought sandwiches and had 20-30 minutes on the beach. Their advertising mentioned a secluded beach, not a busy resort area! It was during the dry season so it was very dusty. I imagine the dust is less and the scenery better at other times of the year. This was a pricey tour, not really worth the money we paid.

We had an amazing afternoon tour and enjoyed seeing all the different sights along the way. What truly made this tour amazing was Christopher, our tour guide. He made sure that my entire family had a great time. He was very helpful in taking pictures and is a great “human drone”. I’ll definitely be referring others to Tico Tours!

Amazing tour taking you through the back roads of Costa Rica. My favorite part was the fresh coconuts they provided to us to drink on the tour and the private watering hole we were able to swim in. Definitely be prepared to get dusty which was all part of the fun! Staff members are extremely friendly and kind.

Phenomenal! Absolutely loved it! I did a private tour in the driving rain and they gave me my own buggy. Lots of fun hill climbing and big ruts to make it interesting. We stopped at the beach and swam I. The ocean for a bit which was cool. Gorgeous scenery. Chris was my guide and he did a great job!

From start to finish, this was an excellent adventure. Driving the dune buggy over the mountain, through dusty roads and water holes....driving by little villages and local cows and just enjoying the scenery.... this was an awesome adventure.
Kevin, was the ultimate guide, so accomodating and knowledgeable.
Highly recommend.

It was so much fun cruising up the mountains. I think we wouldn’t have been able to see some of the amazing views if we hadn’t done it. Chris was a great tour guide! Not only was he a great photog he shared a lot of great information about the areas we were visiting.
