Ride cliffside tracks and estuary trails to a pristine Playa Flamingo beach on a two-hour ATV expedition. Expect ocean panoramas, mangrove wildlife, and a mix of dirt, rock, and sand with guided safety briefings and shore time to cool off.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Sunlight slices the Pacific at a low angle as ATVs line up on dusty ground; salt air pushes against your helmet and the guide calls a quick safety check. The route peels away from the staging area, climbs a rocky cliff road that opens into wide ocean viewpoints, then threads down toward a quiet estuary before finishing on a stretch of unspoiled sand where you can step off the machine and into the surf.

Helmet and eye protection provided
Guides supply helmets and goggles—still bring a bandana or buff to block dust and keep sweat out of your eyes.
Watch tide and currents
If you plan to swim at the beach stop, confirm conditions with your guide; calm appearance can be misleading near shoals.
Wear sturdy closed-toe shoes
ATV terrain includes ruts and sharp rock; shoes with ankle support make handling the machine easier.
Secure valuables and camera
Use a waterproof, zippered pouch or dry bag—phone pockets and loose items can be lost on bumpy sections.
Closed-toe hiking shoes or boots
Protects feet on rocky and sandy sections and improves control on the ATV.
Lightweight long-sleeve shirt or riding jacket
Shields skin from sun and brush; useful against wind on exposed cliff runs.
