About Outback Adventures Costa Rica
Outback Adventures Costa Rica is an ATV and jet ski tour operator in La Fortuna founded by a group of friends from Australia, Canada, and Costa Rica who wanted to combine adventure tourism with authentic local exploration. Their tours take riders through jungle trails, across rivers, up scenic hills, and onto Lake Arenal — all on well-maintained, late-model vehicles with safety equipment included.
Their ATV tours wind through the rainforest around Arenal Volcano, passing through local farms, river crossings, and viewpoints with volcano panoramas. The jet ski tours launch on Lake Arenal and follow guided routes across Central America's largest lake with mountain and volcano views in every direction. Their signature combo package bundles both ATV and jet ski into a single day — ride the jungle in the morning, hit the lake in the afternoon — and includes a visit to a Maleku indigenous community along the way.
Outback stands out for their international perspective on safety and customer service. Coming from countries with strict adventure-tourism standards, the founders built their operation with newer vehicles, proper helmets and gear, pre-ride safety briefings, and bilingual guides. The result is a polished ATV/jet ski experience that feels more professional than many competitors in the area, with a fun, laid-back atmosphere that matches the Costa Rican pura vida spirit.
