Yes, we strongly recommend renting a 4×4 vehicle. The driveway to the
CRU Compound (Point, Jungle, Kaya and Blue Homes) is quite steep plus there
are always fun dirt roads to explore everywhere in Costa Rica. Rent a 4×4,
its worth it!
Yes, we have internet and WiFi connection. Feel free to forward your motorcycle
adventure pictures to jealous friends back home.
CRU adventures continue after you’re done riding.
Activities include horseback riding, water vehicles, golfing, butterfly farm tours, crocodile tours, tow-in surfing, mountain biking and a relaxing waterfall hike straight from our house.
Additionally, the main town of Jaco is only 15 minutes north with plenty of shopping, nightlife, casinos, poker rooms and shopping.
Of course, its hard to beat simply relaxing on the beach.
CRU works with Carton Surfboards in Jaco and they rent surfboards of all shapes and sizes and boogie boards and will give you great deal by the hour for rentals and for surfing lessons.

At this time, the answer is ‘not really’. You must book a tour with Costa
Rica Unlimited in order to ride new KTM, Husqvarna, & GASGAS. We
do not allow “walk-up” tourists to rent our bikes.
At this time the weather reporting is from San Jose, the middle of the
country where the humidity, mountains, weather patterns do produce rain
at times throughout the day. On the coast, the skies are clearer and the
rain, if it arrives, comes in the evening. It is almost normal that weather
reports are completely off!
We do our best to keep costs as low as possible for our guests. Other
tours may have lower rates but the bikes can be complete junk making for
a painful riding day and the rooms they put you up in are more inland,
away from the beach.
We use new '25 HUSKY FE 350, ’25 HUSKY TE 300, ’25 GAS GAS EC350, ’24 GAS GAS EC350, ’24 KTM EXC 300 two and four-strokes and the accommodations, right up above the Pacific Ocean, are incredible. How much would you charge a stranger to take your race bike for a full day riding? When you add our guides, service, location, and reputation, CRU delivers the riding vacation of your dreams.
Obviously the further out you reserve your trip, the more riding days and the more riders, the better pricing we can offer. We also extend discounts for return trips and have been known to offer the deepest discounts for customers who promote their trips and Costa Rica Unlimited on personal YouTube pages, Facebook, twitter and other social media!

Of course! We have some of the best surf in the country right in Hermosa
with water in the high 80s almost year-round. When we're not riding we
are probably out surfing. Airlines will charge you a fee for the board
and we would ask that you tell us in advance so we have the right size
shuttle to pick or racks when we pick you up. We also have a great contact
at Carton Surfboards in the town of Jaco and he'll always extend large
discounts on boards / surfing lessons.
For hardcore off-road riders Costa Rica can be ridden year round. While
less prevalent on the coast than the middle of the country, the rainy season
does last from August – October. Rain during this season typically starts
in late afternoon, lets off and and then starts again in early evening.
If you’re doing a Guys Trip, the occasional showers is almost a blessing
on the trails. If you’re doing Family Trip its best to visit us November-July.
There are small motorcycle shops in San Jose and we have back up gear
but try to pack correctly, your well-being is vital to us!
We explore Costa Rica, ride every imaginable terrain, visit insane locations,
provide first-class, catered, accommodations, and offer a myriad of additional
adventure sports. You hop on your GAS GAS, KTM or Yamaha and ride the coast,
the jungle, the mountains and have the best vacation ever. The trails,
scenery, and adventure Costa Rica provides off-road enthusiasts are unparalleled.
Casual backroads, “A” loop enduro’s, river crossings, beaches, jungle single-track,
to the kids in the villages screaming for you to do a wheelie, we hope
the Costa Rica Unlimited experience stays with our guests forever.
We run tours year-round. The weather is basically 80 degrees and the only
months that you may want to avoid (if brining family/non-riders) would
be Sept/October as it can rain most afternoons. We typically run 1-2 tours
per week and request tours between December-March be reserved between 6
months and 1-year in advance.
We have a solid fleet of new '25 HUSKY FE 350, ’25 HUSKY TE 300, ’25 GAS GAS EC350, ’24 GAS GAS EC350, ’24 KTM EXC 300
two and four-strokes. We have between 18-22
total tour bikes and rotate our fleet every 6 months or so; you're never
riding old junk!.
No, as we ride off-road, a license is not required.
No, but riders must be able to ride a 250F; our smallest bike.
This all depends on the group. We have hosted groups of ten that we split
off into smaller groups, we have hosted 15 for a television program and
we recently hosted 20+ for a motorcycle tire company sales event. That
said, the most ideal group is between 4-8 friends who ride or race together
on the weekends and are looking for a new challenge.
Costa Rica Unlimited customizes every aspect of the tour. If a group has
fast and slower riders, as most do, one group with go a guide on the tough
single track, the other group will go with a guide on easier fire roads
and at each village, we meet up and then split up again on the trail. This
is dependent on Number of Riders in the Group as well
8:45am-3:15 pm...however; how strong is your body? We’ve had guys like
Ronnie Renner, Russell Bobbitt, David Pingree, Jimmy Lewis, Ricky Johnson,
Mike Metzger, and Danny LaPorte that want to ride from sunrise to sunset
and we’ve had corporate executives that want an intense 2-3 hour loop followed
by hours in the hammock on the beach. It’s always your call.
The medical facilities are first rate. Baylor University has a hospital
in San Jose, there is a newer facility in Jaco, and a new medical facility
in the Marriot’s ‘Los Suenos’ community.
We no longer need Satellite Phones. Cell service is great and lead/chase
guides always carry cell phones. Some groups (businesses) choose to add
an EMT on retainer which is an option at an extra cost and planned 15 days
in advance of tour.
