Your dates, your crew,
never strangers

Every tour runs private by default: just you or your crew, with or without a guide. Give us your dates and we build your ride together. Riding solo? We can add you to a tour that is already running. Write to us and we take care of the rest.

Solo riders welcome, or private groupRiding with friends: the tour is yours alone. Riding solo: we add you to an existing departure, or open yours to other riders: your call. Depart on your datesNo fixed calendar: you give us your dates and we build the tour around them. Group departures that are already open are offered as an extra, never instead. Pace adapted to your levelLegs, share of dirt and length of each day are set by the least confident rider in the group. We settle that before leaving, not out on the road.

« Super expérience. Un 5 jours de pur bonheur. Tout était bien organisé. Sébastien s’est adapté à mon rythme. Hébergement et repas vraiment typique du Costa Rica, nous avons adoré. Sans cette randonné nous aurions jamais pu voir un Costa Rica aussi grandiose et fabuleux. Nous espérons y revenir d’ici quelques années »

“Had an amazing 7 day run through Costa Rica with Sebastien, he's a fantastic guide, knowledgable, flexible, and great to ride with. Already thinking about doing another tour with Pura Vida later this year! Highly recommended!”

«Me encantó conocer a mi país de esta manera, ir en la moto para admirar el bosque nuboso desde la carretera y despues ir a la playa a meter los pies en la arena despues del viaje. Sorprendida de ver lo que Sebastian sabe de mi pais. Mi esposo y yo quedamos muy a gusto, siete dias inolvidables.»

« Superbe expérience chez Pura Vida Motorbike ! Location d'une Kawasaki 650 en excellent état pendant 10 jours. Le Costa Rica est un très beau pays à découvrir à moto. Un grand MERCI à Sébastien pour sa disponibilité et sa bonne humeur. Il connaît très bien son pays "d'adoption". Pura Vida »

“Professional, particular, and prompt. If you’re looking for a bike that is properly maintained, well set up, and ready to ride, Pura Vida Motorbike is the place to rent. Sebastian was quick to respond and delivered exactly what he promised.”

Frequently asked

Everything riders ask us

What documents do I need to rent?+
A passport valid for more than six months beyond your return date, a current motorcycle licence that covers the engine size of the bike you choose, and a credit card. An international permit is not required: the one from your own country is enough. That's it: we handle the rest when you arrive.
Is insurance included?+
Yes, full motorcycle insurance is included, with 24/7 roadside assistance for the whole rental.
How do I book, and what if I cancel?+
A 40% deposit confirms your booking. Cancel 60 days or more before departure: partial or full refund.
Minimum rental and mileage?+
Rentals and tours from 3 days, unlimited mileage.
Is the gear included?+
On every tour the gear is included, with or without a guide: it makes no difference. On a bike-only rental, full gear (helmet, gloves, protections) is optional at $15/day.
