Arenal ATV Adventure
Tear through La Fortuna's rainforest trails on this Arenal ATV adventure — mud bogs, ridge climbs, and an Arenal Volcano overlook.
The Arenal ATV adventure tour is a 3-hour off-road romp through riverbeds, jungle trails, and mountain ridges in the foothills of Arenal volcano. This Arenal ATV adventure tour straps you into a Honda 250cc four-wheeler and lets you splash through creeks, climb muddy switchbacks, and stop at hidden waterfalls with the volcano towering in the distance.
You'll meet your bilingual lead guide at the staging area for a thorough riding briefing — controls, braking, gear selection, and trail signals — and a short practice lap. Then you're off, following the guide single-file along forest trails that wind through cattle ranches and secondary rainforest, splash through several shallow river crossings, and climb to ridge-top lookouts with full-frame volcano views.
The Arenal ATV adventure tour includes a stop at a swimming-friendly waterfall where you can cool off, plus refreshments back at the base. Single and tandem ATVs are available so couples, parents with kids, and solo riders all have options. The trails range from easy fire roads to slightly technical jungle paths — the guide adjusts pace and route to the group's experience level.
