Overview
A 150-year-old working cattle ranch with rivers, springs and waterfalls is your playground. After a safety talk you ride fully automatic Yamaha ATVs through pastures and river crossings and up into the hills, with views over the valley and out to the Pacific — and howler monkeys and iguanas for company. Add the zip-line canopy or a horseback ride to make a combo day.
