Crank up the adrenaline and dive into Costa Rica’s wild side with our pulse-pounding 4-Hour UTV Buggy Tour in the mountains above Jaco Beach. This high-octane ride combines off-road adventure, jaw-dropping scenery, tropical waterfalls, and a taste of real Costa Rican flavor for an experience that’s anything but ordinary.
Strap in and hold tight—this isn’t just a scenic drive. It’s a rugged journey through jungle trails, mountain passes, and hidden backroads that most travelers never get to see. Whether you're chasing thrills, epic views, or a deeper look into the heart of the rainforest, this tour delivers big.
Tear through rugged mountain trails, splash past hidden waterfalls, and cruise deep into untouched jungle terrain with your expert UTV guide on this crowd-favorite off-roading adventure!
The excitement kicks off with a local pickup and a warm welcome at Adventure Tours Costa Rica. Our expert guides get you geared up and briefed on everything you need to know before hitting the dirt. After a quick test run in your powerful side-by-side UTV, you’ll be ready to roll. These machines are built for adventure—gritty, agile, and perfect for Costa Rica’s challenging terrain.
From the moment we leave base, the trail starts to climb. As you power your way into the rainforest mountains above Jaco, the engine hums, the jungle opens up, and the real fun begins. About halfway up, we take a thrilling detour to a secret waterfall where you can snap some unforgettable photos.
Don’t blink—because the views keep getting better. We continue our climb through winding jungle roads and thick canopy until we reach a ridgeline that reveals one of the most spectacular vistas in the region. From the mirador, the coastline stretches endlessly in both directions. You’ll see Jaco’s golden shoreline sweep south toward Manuel Antonio, and the Nicoya Peninsula rising from the Pacific like a dream. Look north and catch a glimpse of Puntarenas shining in the distance.
It’s a view that makes the ride worth every turn—and it’s a moment you’ll remember long after the dust settles.
Our adventure continues along the ridge as we make our way to the mountain town of Bijagual. Along the way, you’ll pass through local landmarks—a church, a soccer field, and charming roadside bars—before arriving at our favorite local stop for a traditional Costa Rican lunch. This is where flavor meets authenticity.
Your included casado is a classic: rice, beans, fresh vegetables, and your choice of savory protein, all served up with heart and soul. If you’ve got dietary restrictions, no worries—just let us know in advance and we’ll make sure you’re taken care of. Take a break, kick back, and enjoy your meal surrounded by rainforest beauty.
Once we’re fueled up, we fire up the engines again for the return trip. But don’t think it’s just a ride downhill—this leg of the journey is just as thrilling. Splash through rivers, carve around bends, and weave through jungle trails as we make our way back to Jaco. With every twist and turn, you’ll see more of what makes Costa Rica such a bucket-list destination for adventure seekers.
By the time we roll back into base, you’ll be covered in smiles (and maybe a little mud), buzzing from the experience, and already dreaming about your next off-road escape. The 4-Hour UTV Buggy Tour is fast, fun, and unforgettable—the kind of ride that keeps your heart racing and your spirit soaring.

I've done off-roading before, but nothing compares to this UTV tour in Jaco. It was the perfect amount of time. Wear a bandana or a face mask, it's dusty out there. Kudos to the team for an amazing experience
This was an unforgettable adventure. Driving through the jungle was exhilarating. Lunch was delicious. The guides made us feel safe and they were so nice. A must-do!"
This UTV tour was the highlight of our Costa Rica trip! The trails were thrilling. Our guide was knowledgeable and we had a fantastic time. Highly recommend!"
Best UTV tour ever! The route was long enough to feel like a journey, but there were plenty of breaks to enjoy the surroundings. The waterfall was amazing
Great tour!
The guides were sweet and the scenery was stunning. Every twist and turn brought something new. I want to go out again before we leave and do the longer tour.
I’ve done tours in Mexico and Hawaii, but this one was on another level. My girlfriend was a little scared at first but by the end she wanted to drive. Lunch was delicious!
The terrain on this tour was awesome. We crossed rivers, got muddy, got dusty. This isn’t your average tourist ride. If you're looking for a real adventure, this is it.
I’m blown away by how much we experienced in only 4 hours. This tour is the real deal.
