The rental shop was an amazing experience. The host was a good point of contact! Will definitely come back for another tour.

I went to Costa Rica for a 19-day moto excursion, scheduled to hit 8 cities across the country. It was high season and originally, another rental company, without notice, just canceled my reservation due to availability issues. Thank god I found the rental shop. The staff was quick to respond and able to accommodate me with a solid and reliable KLR 650 for my trip. The team are the best. This is no ordinary rental shop and I feel very lucky to have stumbled on them. The experience was personable, they were super friendly and accommodating. The moment I landed at the beautiful slice of heaven that is the rental shop I felt like I was at home. I took a red eye flight into San Jose and when I arrived, the staff invited me in and literally cooked me some eggs while we hung out for a beat and I decompressed. Unexpected greeting but very much appreciated after my long journey. They got me on the road with everything I needed and I was on my way. Early in my trip I was doing some heavy off-roading and dropped the motorbike, cracking the radiator. The staff met up with me right away and loaned me a badass transalp750 while they got the radiator replaced. A few days later, they rode to me in Puerto Viejo to swap the repaired KLR back to me. They never once threw their hands up and always made the effort to make my trip run smoothly. I felt very supported on my excursion, like I was doing the Baja 1000 and had my own support crew. Seriously though, I didn't feel like just another customer. I now have cool friends who own a moto rental shop in San Jose. Also they're a smaller underdog operation and I actually prefer to support hard working small business owners over the faceless giants who upsold me on a membership then screwed me over. Insane. Anyway, blessing in disguise. The rental shop for the win.

Got a great motorbike and saw the Costa Rica you don’t from the bus. Nice to ride in dirt, on the highway and across rivers! Muchas gracias y Pura vida!

If you can book Sebastien at pura vida motorcycles on a personal motorcycle tour - do it. I had the best time - ever. I’m a brand new rider and Seb was phenomenal. He boosted my confidence with his calm, easy going personality. He’s loving, fun to be around - if you’re touring for 5 days together, you need someone fun to be with. The route he picked was amazing.. brilliant fun! The lodges he booked for each night were absolutely stellar. He seems to know everyone, everywhere.. people seem to love him. It was an absolute pleasure meeting and touring with him. He even got me to get the confidence on off-road riding… IN SLICK, WET terrain. I couldn’t believe how much attention he paid to me and my riding when he was leading the tour. He noticed every single thing I did and did not do. Absolutely the best in my limited experience. Love him and will be touring with him again.

I recently rented a motorcycle for 3 weeks with puravidamotorbike and I was more than satisfied. Motorcycle quality: 10/10: a Royal Enfield, easy to handle to fully enjoy the splendid winding roads of Costa Rica, and incredibly reliable, allowing me to enjoy my 2000km trip for 3 weeks without a single problem! Trip support quality: 10/10. The two owners, Sébastien and Benoît, were very generous in planning routes and accommodations. They also provided lots of advice for better enjoying riding in Costa Rica and suggestions for sites and places to visit. Reliability of the support: 10/10. Sébastien is easily reachable through the puravidamotorbike messaging system and ready to answer any questions. This rental and the support allowed me to have one of the best motorcycle trips of my life in a breathtakingly beautiful environment and in complete safety. Yvon
