ATV Tour for Couples in Guanacaste: Plan Your Curubandé Adventure
Looking for an ATV tour for couples in Guanacaste? At Finca Curubanda, your adventure begins in Curubandé, near Rincón de la Vieja Volcano. Together, you can explore local communities, cross small streams and stop at scenic viewpoints on a guided ride through the countryside.
Before booking, you probably want to know what the route is like, whether you need experience and how much the day will cost for two people. This guide covers those details, plus options for adding La Leona Waterfall and lunch.
What to Expect on Your ATV Tour for Couples in Guanacaste
The ATV route takes approximately 1hour and 40 minutes and begins and ends in Curubandé. Allow additional time for check-in, instructions and practice before departure.
For couples who both want to drive, booking two individual ATVs gives each person their own vehicle while following the same guide. You experience the terrain at the controls, regroup during stops and enjoy the views together.
Along the way, our guide pauses to check how you are feeling and how the ATV is handling.
These stops also provide time to explain the next section, answer questions and take photos.
The experience suits couples who enjoy outdoor activities and want to spend part of their trip exploring the countryside around Rincón de la Vieja.

Our circular route leaves Curubandé and passes through local communities such as Buena Vista and Cañas Dulces before returning to the starting point.

At designated stops, take a moment to look around, get a photo together and ask your guide about the area. Keep phones and cameras secured while operating the ATV.
