What to expect

1
Cabo Blanco

We will meet in Montezuma's adorable "downtown" for bike fitting & safety check. We provide the mountain bikes and helmets (we carry the tools). Then we'll gently roll out together on our awesome signature route. It's relatively flat, follows the coastline, but we will pull out at a few of our "secret spots". Experienced guide and longtime cyclist Marla will be leading the ride. If desired, she can stop occasionally to point out interesting stuff, offer riding tips (if you like) and otherwise customize your experience to make it memorable. Of course, the group always stays together! As we head back to Montezuma, we can grab a couple cool pictures... and maybe even grab a cold one together to cap off a great ride! You will get to see a special slice of Costa Rica's finest: beautiful rugged beaches, hidden world class surf breaks, ancient tropical trees, and secret waterfalls.

Isla de Cabuya

Cabuya Island is one of those magical spots that most people see from the road, but few people manage to approach. It’s a place of legend, rumor, and excitement, supposedly haunted by ghosts at night, due to the fact that it’s been a cemetery for as long as anyone can remember. Also, it happens to have some of the best snorkeling around, and you can even see much of the wildlife (like Pufferfish, etc) without a snorkel. If it is low tide during our tour, we can actually ride our bikes onto the island!

Duration 15 minutes

Cedros

Near Playa Cedros (which we will see on our journey) is the stunning Playa Las Rocas. This beach has two sandy beaches and a fresh water river-mouth with a rope-swing. Playa las Rocas has a “whale’s tail” rock formation, and it’s a lot of fun to scamper around and take photos on these colorful rocks. In front of the rocks is one of the best snorkeling areas, popular among spear-fishermen and lobster-catchers. Many Tico families come here and park under the coconut trees, and some often catch the family’s lunch or dinner.

Duration 10 minutes

The experience can be subject to change due to bad weather or unforseen circumstances. We always endeavour to give you the best possible experience.
