About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Connector7892020 contributionsGreat trip bad customer serviceWe have used AXR for many years on our trip to CR. Keni and Gabriel are excellent guides they have always tried to show us different things on each trip. We prefer the buggy's feel like they are much safer. This past Feb.we had them booked and had to cancel part of our crew were not able to make the trip. Their cancellation policy is horrible and for that I will not use them again tho those two guides are super. Too bad they don't value a good relationship with past customers. I will use Piko travel from now on. They are very honest and trustworthy.Written January 13, 2025
- nataliesF609GA0 contributionsDo not hesitate!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️We had a great experience with AXR Jaco! We were able to book on short notice in the week between Christmas and New Years, which was a surprise. Our group of four (two adults and two teenagers) rented two ATVs for a two hour tour with a guide. Our guide Alberto took us up into the mountains and we were able to stop at a few different places to take photos and switch drivers. It was the perfect combo of thrill seeking and still feeling safe. Splashing through mud puddles and crossing a river were some of the highlights! 10/10 recommend.Written January 1, 2025
- Dejuan E0 contributionsAmazing time in the rainforestWe had an amazing time during the four hour exterme rainforest tour. Pepe was our tour guide, and he was well versed in the history of the country and the area we traveled. We were the only vechile on the tour, so the experience was not delayed or rushed. During our time, we went to two waterfalls. One had a pool where we swam, an overlook that allowed us to see Manuel National Park Ocean and a restaurant in the mountains with delicious food and coffee. We sped through mud, rivers, dirt, and paved roads and went deep into the jungle. Our time and money were spent. I highly recommend this tour.Written December 17, 2024
- rebhit0 contributionsYes!Oh my goodness what an adventure! My friend and I were lucky enough to pick this place for an ATV ride. Esteban took such fantastic care of us! Seriously, he customized an adventure that met our wants and time restrictions, the land is beautiful, the waterfalls were refreshing. Hands down a must do adventure with Esteban and his team!Written December 11, 2024
- Escape164589070440 contributionsAtv buggy ride w/PatchyPatchy (Pachito) was our guide and we had the time of our lives. The views were incredible and the trills were endless. We went all the up the mountains, hiked to a rainfall and took the atv buggy through the river. Patchy was very knowledgeable and lots of fun as well. Highly recommend 👍🏼Written November 22, 2024
- davidbN1117CG0 contributionsGreat ride!Second time with AXR and fantastic ride again. Pepe is great as guide. The experience is very organized and the ATV provided works for an experienced rider like me. Thanks for wonderful day and I plan to ride with AXR next time I come back to Costa Rica.Written November 16, 2024
- iisink0 contributionsHORRIBLE EXPERIENCEHad a horrible experience. Reading a lot of similar reviews on this place with similar experiences! Major red flags from the start. They took a 7,000 deposit for all the vehicles my friends and I rented . When we got back they tried extorting us and we felt very rushed and pressured! I would not recommend this place at all. It’s a big scam operation and not safe at all ! No horrible communication. BEWAREWritten October 2, 2024

- Sarmad H0 contributionsSCAM!! UNPROFFESSIONALAXR (AN EXTREME RIDER) Costa Rica Off Road LTDA I recently had a very disappointing and concerning experience with AXR (AN EXTREME RIDER), also known as Costa Rica Off Road LTDA. On September 26, 2024, my friends and I rented 7 Talons and one ATV, putting down a deposit of $7,000. From the start, there were major red flags. I was pressured to name all the drivers and sign on their behalf, which felt rushed and unprofessional. We received no safety advice, training, or information about the challenging paths we would be navigating. Unfortunately, one of my friends, who was a first-time driver, rolled one of the vehicles. While damages occurred, the management claimed the cost was exactly $7,000—an amount that felt extremely suspicious. They then offered a cash settlement of $5,000, which I refused because I believed the actual damages were around $3,000. I felt immense pressure and decided to leave it on my card, hoping to dispute the charges later. I would NEVER recommend this company or any of its affiliates. They provide no insurance, lack professionalism, and prioritize profit over customer safety. This operation feels like a complete scam. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for an adventure in Costa Rica!Written October 1, 2024
- MelK08200 contributionsFun experienceBooked the 3 hour with the waterfall on the buggie. Spent around 30 minutes at the waterfall, 30 minutes at this restaurant/bar at the top of a hill with a nice scenic view. I ordered a nice tequila sunrise and pina colata. The rest of the time driving. The guide offered to take a bunch of pictures and. Really fun tour went during rainy season and was super cool.Written August 23, 2024
- Ken_and_Lisa_HB0 contributionsAnother great rideOur 2nd time with AXR. Got two side by sides and took off for a couple hours. Danny was our guide is just the best. He took us on a new trail that rocked. Our only regret is we should have gone longer.Written August 8, 2024
- Daydream2995480 contributionsAbsolutely amazing experience!!AXR and our tour guide Pepe was the BEST PART of our Costa Rica tour. Pepe was genuine, personable, direct, transparent, and professional. He truly deserves a raise! We also did the horseback riding which was peaceful and healing. We appreciate AXR and one day hope to come back to Jaco for another tour!Written August 7, 2024
- dave911nj0 contributionsLoads of fun...Absolutely an awesome adventure in the 2 hour buggy ride. Our tour guide was the absolute best. Prepare to get wet and dirty lol. The stop at the bar/restaurant is a great touch. One thing to keep in mind that a hefty deposit is required.Written August 3, 2024
- 7766heath0 contributionsATV tours with friendsATV tour with Carlos as a guide was awesome. We took two quads as there were eight of us and some did not want to drive. The road was very scenic and we stopped several times to take photos. The waterfall was beautiful and the hike to see it was very well laid out and safe. Next stop was to jump from a small cliff. The water was very refreshing in both spots. The restaurant on the mountain was so good and probably one of my favorite meals while in Jaco. If you take this tour, make sure you ask for Carlos.Written July 23, 2024

We've used AXR for all of our tours while staying in Jaco: Waterfalls (twice), Ziplining, and ATV tours (3 times).
There are many tour operators in Jaco, but we were lucky to have met Oscar who manages the Jaco #2 location beside Mary's Diner (it's close to where we're staying). He is very friendly, speaks very good English, and explains things clearly. This is a one-stop shop place, and we like the prices for all that is included. We let Oscar know what type of tour/experience we're looking for, and he arranges it all. There are options to pay with either credit card or cash, so it's very convenient.
We were/are very lucky to have Pachi as our ATV guide, and he takes us to places that we'd never find on our own, and it also gives us peace of mind that we're safe (he can tell what your level of comfort/experience is, and goes from there).
We still have a few days left in Jaco, and have white water rafting, and another ATV tour booked.
We highly recommend AXR for tours, and especially the Jaco #2 location :)

We did the ATV first and Javier was great! The ride through town with the ATV was very fun and the trail was very scenic and beautiful. We all had a great time. We went on the zipline in the afternoon and I cannot say enough great things about the staff. My husband was literally terrified of heights and they did such a great job keeping him calm. The zipline had so many amazing views and a great adrenaline rush. Highly recommend both activities.

The two trips were fantastic. Our buggy trip was the best. Lots of jungle and mountains trails, beach visit, fun waterfall visit, and riding through rivers. Good value and great tour guide. The following day they picked us up for a 3 hr (round trip) zip line excursion. Again great crew and lots of fun.

This was a lot of fun to do with a group. We had 8 people and chose the Zipline/ RZR side-by-sides. It was a great time. The zipline crew were really fun and totally professional. They joked around with us alot, but made us feel very safe. After the ziplining, we rode the rzrs up a hill to a waterfall where we stopped and swam. It was really pretty. You definitely get to see the local side of Jaco and it is worth every penny!

We booked the Canapy Zipline + 3 hour ATV Waterfall tour for my Husband, son (12 yr) and myself.
I actually opted out of the zipline. This was not a problem with logistics at all. They accommodated this just fine with transportation and pricing. My husband and son really enjoyed this activity.
The Zipline was followed by the ATV which was all of our favorite activity during our trip to Costa Rica!
We opted to rent a buggy and all ride together. Our tour was just us and our guide. I think it just happened to work out this way, but it was great having a "private" tour! Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable.
The real star of the show was the beautiful views along this route. Wow! We absolutely loved this tour which was stunning, combined with the fun of 4-wheeling through the river beads and mountain curves! The highlight however was getting out and venturing in, under and behind the waterfall. This was everyone's favorite!
At the end of the tour we stopped at a restaurant up in the mountains for some lunch or a beverage. The views were beautiful and the atmosphere was perfect. All three of us would 100% recommend this trip!

We brought our daughter and her friend to Jaco as a gift for their college graduation. Beau picked us up at our hotel. He went over the vehicle instructions and safety info. We were then off on our private tour. We toured some amazing scenery and then hiked down to the waterfall. Beau pointed out different insects and plants of interest. He let us determine the pace that was comfortable for us. We had an amazing day and would recommend this tour for all ages.

This was literally our first day in the country and we did the combo all in one day. The ATV tour was great. Of course you get dirty, so if you wear contacts, you may want to bring your glasses. The little place at the top of the hill makes an amazing chicken/cheese empenada. There is a swing that you can strap in and sail across the valley. Javier was a great guide, willing to point out different animals and points of interest.
The second part of our tour was the zip lining tour, through Chiclets Zip lining. They are terrific people. They helped my daughter, who was terrified of heights, get across all 14 lines. She said this was the best part of her whole experience in Costa Rica! Great views and extremely friendly people. We all loved it!

We had a blast riding ATV's to the Waterfall! Diego was an amazing guide! Views were spectacular! Lunch was super good! By the time we finished Zip Lining we were exhausted. We had six of us in our group for the ATV Waterfall and Lunch section. this was a perfect size group. During the zip line portion we were combined with 10 others which seems like too large of a group. We spent a LOT of time waiting on platforms in the trees to go on the next "zip". At first it was ok.. as you could see all the flora and fauna! Toward the end everyone was hot and exhausted and ready to zip on down for a cold drink to celebrate the end of a super great day!
ATV, Waterfall and Lunch portion super great! Had a blast!
Zipline - was fun but would recommend smaller groups to minimize tree wait time during the end of the zipline experience! I've ziplined before in other area and the groups were not this large.

Thank you for your review! Diego would also like to thank you for mentioning him in your review! And that you enjoyed the experience that you had with him in the rainforest. We are sorry about the large group on the Zip Line, that is something that we cannot control since it is set times, we've sent others who were the only ones, and others who like you stuck with a large group.
That is one great difference that we focus on with the ATV tours that we have open times, and always private tours!
We hope to see you again for another adventure into the rainforest!
Pura Vida.
