Combine an ATV “Extreme Vista” ridge run with a half-day whitewater trip on the Savegre and Naranjo rivers. This action-packed, roughly six-hour combo leaves from central Jaco and delivers coastal views and class II–III rapids.

The day opens with the roar of the Pacific offshore and the scent of wet earth as a small convoy slips out of central Jaco and climbs toward the ridgelines. Within minutes the town shrinks behind you and the ATV trail opens to sweeping views over Playa Jaco — the mountains push you forward and the sea waits below.
