Playas del Coco: 24-Hour Motorbike Rental with Gear & Support

Summary

Ride through Playas del Coco’s hills with a motorbike for a day

You’ll pick up your motorbike right in Playas del Coco—with helmet, lock, tools and backup if you need it—and set off to explore Guanacaste’s hills at your pace. Expect friendly faces (and maybe some teasing), quiet stretches above town, and those little moments when you realize how far you’ve come on your own steam.

What’s the experience like?

“Don’t worry, these bikes can handle the heat — and the hills,” said Juan as he handed over the keys in Playas del Coco. He grinned like he’d seen too many tourists underestimate Guanacaste’s climbs. I could already hear the distant thrum of other bikes somewhere behind the palms, and honestly, my nerves were louder than that engine at first. The helmet still smelled faintly like sunscreen from whoever used it before me, which made me laugh for some reason. Maybe it was just relief that everything felt real and ready.

The first few minutes were awkward — I stalled once near a fruit stand where two kids waved at me (not sure if they were cheering or laughing). But after that, something clicked. The Bosch motor was smoother than I expected; you don’t really notice the power until you’re halfway up a dusty hill and realize you’re not sweating bullets. There’s this moment when you crest above town and suddenly all you hear is wind and birds — no traffic, just salty air and a little adrenaline.

I stopped at a tiny roadside soda because I got lost (well, not lost-lost…just off track), and the owner gave me directions with so much patience it felt like she’d done this before. She pointed out shortcuts only locals use — “más sombra,” she promised, more shade. I didn’t expect to feel so safe knowing there was seven-day tech support if anything went wrong, but it made me braver about wandering farther from town. My hands smelled like metal from the lock by the end of the day, which sounds weird but sort of sticks with me now when I think about that ride.
