Pura Vida Ride

Coffee on a La Marzocco, Pivot MTB rentals, crabs and iguanas on the trails and views like you’ve never seen…what else could you want? Thanks to the super friendly staff for the hospitality.

Had a great ride with Braulio. Glad I went with the guild on these trails. Booked 2.5 hours, but ended up only riding 1.5 hours. A bit pricey, but there were plenty of bikes to pick from, they even changed the petals out for me. The shop owner was quick to respond to my reservation and all my questions. Braulio was excellent, and his English skills were great. Would pick Pura Vida Ride again, but 1.5h ride next time. Thanks guys

Rented gear from here during our wedding week back in July 2025! We hosted a big beach day as a welcome event for the wedding guests and they had everything we needed. Don't sleep on the snorkeling!! Its great snorkeling and they have good gear and the staff is so friendly. It became a daily stop for me (including wedding day)!

Emanuel took me and my two daughters snorkeling at Playa Danita. He was an amazing guide! He made sure to guide us to interesting areas and highlighted amazing marine life, including sea turtles! My girls and I had so much fun, and we will certainly return (and request Emanuel) on our next visit! Highly recommended, as my girls were first timers!

Stopped by here and rented bikes. They were helpful, friendly and we enjoyed the ride. The trails were good and had fantastic views over the ocean. It is a resort so prices reflect that but they were fair. Be aware, it is pretty warm so choose the time you ride wisely. We stopped a lot to cool off and didn’t cover anywhere near the distance we expected. Also the trails are dry and can have loose gravel compared to what we usually ride. It cut our confidence a bit. But we would do it again … but perhaps at sunrise.

I showed up here at the end of my 1,000km bike journey around Guanacaste and the guys immediately took care of me. Cleaned my bike up without hesitation and then gifted me with the best banana bread of my life and a cold drink! Pura Vida! Definitely come here for any bike needs or really anything in general! The best!

Had a great tour of the mountains surrounding Catalinas with our guide from Pura Vida Ride. The bikes we rented were in great condition (they have a selection of hard-tail, double suspension, and e-bikes), and the guide was very friendly to some of the n00bs in our group. The only hiccup was with the bike rental process itself; the office staff were somewhat unresponsive the day before via Whatsapp, and a bit slow in getting us out the door the day of the ride, which meant we started later than we would've otherwise liked.

Shop was great, the staff was really friendly, the ride was great. You also had legit bikes, which helped. It felt like a hidden gem, and was so happy to be able to get out to you guys. Thank you #puravida
