The tour begins at the park's base located at 350 East RIU Hotel, Playa Matapalo, where guests are asked to check in 30 minutes before their ride. From here, experienced guides lead the way, revealing spectacular vantage points and ensuring every rider can focus on crisp ocean air and rumbling engines rather than navigation.
