ATV Trails and Extreme Zip-Lining from RIU Feel the engine beneath you as you follow your guide through Guanacaste. Then swap the handlebars for a harness and experience the rush of flying through the forest, rappelling from an elevated platform and taking on the Extreme Tarzan Swing. The ATV Extreme Zip-Line Combo + RIU Transport brings two adventures together in an approximately four-hour experience, with transportation from RIU arranged as part of this package. Choose Your ATV Adventure: Beach or Mountain Choose the route that matches the experience you want and enter your preference in the Special Instructions field when booking. Beach ATV Adventure Ride through Guanacaste’s tropical dry forest toward Matapalo Beach. Feel the landscape change as the trails bring you closer to the coast, then enjoy a beach stop before continuing your adventure. Bring swimwear if you would like to take a dip when conditions permit. Mountain ATV Adventure Follow your guide along winding roads and trails through Guanacaste’s mountain landscape. This route puts the focus on riding, changing terrain and discovering the forest beyond the resort. Both routes offer opportunities to notice the region’s wildlife, including monkeys, birds and iguanas. Animals move freely, so sightings cannot be guaranteed. All our ATVs are 400cc. Choose the available single-rider or tandem option that suits your group when booking. Take Your Adventure into the Air The Extreme Canopy adds a completely different kind of excitement. Three long zip-line flights carry you through the forest canopy, with some cables extending beyond 450 meters. Between the anticipation at the platform and the feeling of moving through the air, each flight gives you another moment to remember together. Continue with a rappel from an approximately 22-meter platform, then take on the Extreme Tarzan Swing. That moment before the drop is part of the experience—the pause, the excitement and the release as you swing into the air. Guides explain the activities and provide the helmet, harness and other required safety equipment. Plan Your Experience Allow approximately four hours for the activities. Confirm your RIU transportation arrangements and overall outing time through your reservation. ATV drivers must be at least 16 years old. Younger children may ride as passengers, subject to the vehicle’s passenger requirements. The listed minimum age for Extreme Canopy is six years, and every participant must meet the equipment-fit and participation requirements for both activities. Wear comfortable clothing and secure closed-toe shoes. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent and water. Clothing may become dusty or muddy depending on trail conditions. For the beach route, bring swimwear and a towel if you plan to enter the water. Book Your RIU Adventure Select your date and preferred ATV arrangement, provide your RIU hotel details and enter “Beach ATV” or “Mountain ATV” in Special Instructions. Complete your online booking to receive your confirmation and tickets, then get ready for trails, zip lines and the Extreme Tarzan Swing in one outing.
