ATV Tour in ARENAL
 
I would love a report from anyone who's done this, as we are thinking about tacking it on to our itinerary for our Jan trip to CR.
Thanks much!

We, my husband and children, did the ATV tour in Arenal a month ago. We all loved it. The guys leading the tour were very nice and entertaining and took us on a great ride.We rode through areas we would not have seen otherwise. A highlight had to be the tarzan swing that drops you about 30 feet over the water, next to the falls. We all enjoyed the thrill of driving the ATVs as well. A very memorable tour!

Hey thanks for the reply! Could you tell me the tour company you used? Was it Fourtrax Adventures?

Yes...we used Fourtrax. They were a pleasure to deal with. What other tours are you doing in Arneal? We also did the Pure Trek rapelling which we all enjoyed.

Hey thanks much for the reply, it was most helpful. From what I am reading, a lot of folks were dispaointed when they tried to book this when they arrived at their Arenal Hotel to find it was full. Does the ATV tour actually take you to the volcano as well as the fruit plantations, waterfall, etc. as they describe on the website?
We are giving ourselves 2 days/nights in Arenal (heading there from Monteverde) and other than the ATV tour, plan to hike the lava fields at the National park, and do the night tour of Arenal. Then just spend night 2 soaking in the Springs at tabacon:).
Any other recommendations?
