We initially booked the 4-hour tour to the Predator movie location, but once we arrived at the tour start point, the guy at the desk explained that it is mostly on-road along the coast with ocean views and just a short trip into the mountains/jungle. We wanted the least on-road. Since the tours are private, you are basically just paying for time and can choose to go along whatever route you want. We opted to go more directly into the mountains as the desk guy suggested. Rafael was great guide - no corny jokes, no pushing extra-cost items, no pressure to eat at the restaurant or engage in a tequila tasting. He helped with what was needed, gave a perfect amount of history and information when we stopped to see various sights and led at our chosen pace.
We can’t say enough positives about the experience and Rafael.
The ATVs were well-maintained Honda 420cc units.
Other tour companies take the same routes; we saw some of their guests and guides. However, those were larger groups and I understand that they only go in large groups and have a rigid schedule of stops and duration at each stop. Our tour was completely private and custom, just us two and a guide. We choose when and where to stop and for how long.
Highly recommended!
