"What an unforgettable experience". In fact, I couldn't stay away, and had to come back for more challenges, different terrain and scenic beauty that is truly, second to none. However, this off road riding experience would be extremely difficult, if it were not for our trail guide and host, Larry Larrabure and the staff of MotoAdventures. They'll pave the way, whether youâ?Tre a novice or expert rider, trail selection will be "Taylor Fit" to your riding skill. For me, rider safety is above everything else---and Larry makes sure of this. The bikes are professionally maintained, and Larry ensures his party stays together and intact. Challenges, scenic vistas, fantastic resorts and night life plus, MotoAdventures has it all. I know my money was well spent I can hardly wait to do it again. Five out of five stars, all the way. Happy Trails.

You absolutely have to ride this world class ride. Larry and friends can tailor the ride to fit all. From fun dual sport stuff to very technical riding, Costa Rica has it all. Ask him about the oAirplane Trail, you are higher than the clouds. The country itself is so friendly you never knew what the word meant. The diversity is stunning, the scenery beyond words. You'll be safe, have other great activities if you wish, and have a complete vacation. Do not wait to experience this, you will regret it otherwise.

I just wanted to let you know what a great time we had on the Volcano Tour. The six of us are very experienced riders and we appreciated the multiple challenges along the tour. Everyone really enjoyed the varied terrain - beach, mountain, volcano, rain forest, rivers, etc, etc. Also, the food and accommodations were terrific, not to mention the other activities we took part in when not riding the bikes - river rafting, zip lines, hang gliding and ultralights. Thanks again for a fantastic week, we all had a blast and are looking forward to returning again.

As you know this was our second tour with MotoAdventures. Our group consisted of what I would consider intermediate to expert single track riders ranging in age from 60 to 69 years. (kids really) Several of us have ridden together for 40+ years. We try to get together for an adventure every couple of years, a couple of us have ridden the Baja with Malcom Smith and a few years ago we rode Copper Canyon in Mexico. Of all our tours I would rate yours as the best. Not just the riding because we probably have some of the best riding right here in Idaho. Some things I really like about your tour is riding in the morning and then having the day for the pool, beach or whatever. Our lodging was really good. It's nice to come back to the same place and not have to upack every day. Manny was great as usual. He pretty well knows where everyone is all the time but doesn't try to be "trail boss". He lets people enjoy the ride and stop as often as the group wants. I thought the riding this year was the best yet, the single track sections were what we like. Around here that's pretty well all we ride. The people in Costa Rica we have encountered have all been the best. Very friendly and honest. Costa Rica was beautiful as usual. The Hondas worked well and Marco was always there to make sure we didn't have any mechanical issues. Jaco is a fun little place with enough night life to be interesting. Mike's airplane tour is spectacular and anyone who doesn't do it is missing a lot. About the only negative I heard was some of the guys whined about the [typical Costa Rican] food. Thank you and Manny and Marco for taking good care of us. If you ever get near Idaho let me know. I have extra bikes and we would show you some beautiful rides. Thanks again !
Thanks again

Be Careful what you ask for!
Our trip to Costa Rica was in January 2003 which four of us friends rode with Larry.  Within five miles from Larry’s house, Larry had already figured out that an additional rider probably wasn’t going to make it where Larry had planned.  In another 20 or 30 miles of tough trail, I told Larry that there was no way that he sent all of his tours on this trail.  With a little laugh, Larry said that he didn’t send many of his tours on this trail and he asked me if I remembered what I had told him when he asked what kind of riding we would like to do.  Yes, I remembered that I had told him that we wanted tight, technical, tough trails so we would have a lot of good stories.  Larry just laughed because he knew that he could show us tight, technical, tough trails in Costa Rica!

To make a long story shorter, we had a trip of a lifetime!  Costa Rica is a beautiful country and they have some unbelievable riding.  Even though the four of us are used to good technical riding in Colorado, Costa Rica has a lot of good riding.  We rode for all five days.  We found new bruises each night.  Be forewarned though, be careful what you ask for; Larry can definitely challenge any rider.  Will we do it again?  Definitely!  Do we have really good stories?  Definitely!  And, I think Larry enjoyed doing the tight, technical, tough trails too!

I've been home for over a week now and my hart is still on the trails in Costa Rica. The Volcano tour was far more cool than I had anticipated. Let me start by saying that you did a superb job of guiding us. You set a very reasonable pace and you were never too far ahead. You always stopped at crossroads to make sure we didn't take a wrong turn. I stopped many times to take pictures and you never seemed to have a problem waiting for me.

I took the role of sweeper so that I could watch over my boys. As dusty as it was, it was worth it. Not only did I pick up my boys a few times, but I got to slow down to enjoy the sites. You chose the perfect blend of single track trails as well as horse trails, fire roads, and pavement. It didn't take me long to figure out that the main focus of the ride wasn't the dirt bikes themselves, but using them as a tool to see the most beautiful country side I've ever seen, let alone ride through. The Honda XR400 was a perfect choice for this adventure. My CRF would have lasted one day! My boys and I have a deep respect for the Costa Rican people. 99% of the tourists would never see what we saw in the interior of the mountains and jungles. My boys are now grateful for the lifestyles they lead. That's new!

You kept the ride well within our skill level. I liked that you gave us a choice on the hardest trail. My son decided the easy way was right for us. I'll catch the hard way next time.

The hotels were great. Food was great. The view from the hotels were unsurpassed. The lunches were better once I figured out to simply order what you ordered! My boys and I are 110% thrilled with our adventure. I really liked how you bonded with my son Jon. He can be a challenge at times and you made a wonderful impression on him.

We used everything on your list of things to bring. Advil was a must for me. We will definitely return for another adventure with you and remember, you have an open invitation to stay with us and ride here in San Diego.

Thanks again,
