We booked an ATV and snorkeling tour with Carlos and it was so much fun. He picked us up at our hotel, brought us to his location and we rode semi-automatic ATVs about 45 minutes to a secluded beach (we were the only ones there). Provided us with snorkeling gear and we snorkeled for about 40 minutes. The fish and sites were stunning. We then rode back and he deposited us back at the hotel. Don’t plan on going anywhere after your ride unless you don’t mind being dirty. You get SUPER dusty on the ATVs.

I actually went to two tours (also did Rio Tempisque) with Native's Way. Our guide Gustavo was friendly and very informative, telling us about the plants birds, and of course about the wonderful volcano fumaroles, mud puddles, etc. Gustavo was a good driver, and accommodated our need to have occasional bathroom or snack stops. One suggestion to Native Way would be to be a little more clear about what to bring along; we did not need a change of clothes after the hot spring dip, as there were changing room. I would definitely book again with these folks next time I vacation in Tamarindo.
