Hit the dirt from Playa Limón to Río Cedro on an ATV that mixes beach sprints, riverside single-track and a riverside dip—finishing with lunch at a local house. This 4–5 hour tour combines adrenalinedriven trail time with cultural stops and refreshing river swims.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Throttle up and feel the island open around you: salt spray from Playa Limón sharpens the air, palms slap the sky, and a ribbon of dirt track threads between rice paddies and tropical scrub. You’ll rev from a small ranch and push toward where Río Cedro meets Rio del Oro, the river daring you to cool off after a day of speed and sun.

Footwear and clothing
Closed-toe shoes and long pants protect against brush, hot engines and mud; synthetic fabrics dry quickly after river crossings.
Hydrate and sun-protect
Bring a 1L reusable water bottle and broad-spectrum sunscreen—tropical sun and wind speed up dehydration on open ATVs.
Follow the briefing
Listen to the safety briefing and obey speed limits—riverside rock and loose sand change traction fast and require cautious throttle control.
Cash for souvenirs/tips
Bring small bills for gratuities or local snacks at roadside stands; lunch and transfers are included but extras are cash-based.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Grip and foot protection for sandy beaches, muddy tracks and wet rocks.
Reusable water bottle (1L+)
Staying hydrated is essential in tropical heat, especially on open ATVs.
Sunscreen and wide-brim hat (for after ride)
High UV exposure on beach sections; reapply after river swims.
