Great little bike in Montezuma. - What a great way to start the day in Montezuma. Marla is very personable, has great stories and tweaks the tour to your skill/comfort level. She has great local knowledge. I'd highly recommend taking this tour early in your time. Not only do you get to see the sights around Montezuma but Marla can recommend her favorite spots for pretty much any activity. While it may seem pricy, it is well worth it. It isn't a particularly long ride and would be very approachable no matter your skill level. Connect with her if you'd like to do something more challenging.

A Montezuma Essential - Marla was a spectacular guide. So much valuable local knowledge and great conversation was shared! The bikes provided were excellent, making the ride a breeze, along with the comfortable pace Marla set. The price was also well worth the experience and knowledge Marla provided. Excellent technical instruction was also provided on all the different terrain we encountered. We even had the privilege of stopping at a local chocolate/cacao cafe which was delicious and informative. We would not have found it without Marla as our guide! Thank you for the amazing experience!

Best way to see Montezuma - We thought that the mountain biking would be fun, but it exceeded our expectations. Marla was incredibly nice and knowledgeable about all things Montezuma including animals, trees as well as history. The ride was a mix of pavement and trail with enough, but not too much, challenging terrain. If you’re in Montezuma, take the mountain bike ride with Marla!!

Montezuma highlight! - Such a fantastic trip. The best way to explore the coastline and the tide was out so we could cross the land bridge to a tiny island!

Unique experience - Excellent tour! We rode along the coast and visited some “off the beaten path” spots, including one pretty and refreshing waterfall. We were the only ones there.

Great way to start our trip. - We did a morning tour with Marla and her daughter on our first full day in Montezuma and had a great time. Saw so much of the area, Marla timed the ride right do we got to ride out to Cabuya island. Saw monkeys, met some cool people, visited the giant Higueron tree. Would highly recommend for anyone visiting Montezuma.

The best part of our honeymoon - My husband and I signed up for this tour while on our honeymoon in Costa Rica. It was our favorite part! In just a few hours, we saw an island that's witnessed a few shipwrecks, an ancient tree, an off-the-beaten-path brewery, and some acrobatic monkeys. If you're looking for a bit of adventure while learning about the history and culture of the area, this is the tour for you. Marla was a lovely, skilled, chill human to spend a few hours riding with in Montezuma.

Fun and Informative Bike Ride - I was looking for something else fun do to do in Montezuma besides the waterfall and this bike ride turned out to be a great choice. Marla was a great host and very knowledgeable of the area. This would be a great thing to do at the beginning of your stay in Montezuma because Marla shares tons of great suggestions on extra hiking, surfing and snorkeling spots. I would also recommend contacting Marla before if you are flexible on the time so you can do the bike ride on the land bridge out to the island during low tide.

Great family activity with an amazing human! - We had an awesome time with Marla. She was warm, encouraging and knowledgeable, and with her amazing pro biking history, and cool humility, was immediately admired and respected by our tween and teen boys ( and us!). The ride was beautiful - along the coastal track, over rocks jutting into the ocean, visiting a beautiful river and an ancient tree, brilliant for climbing. Marla encouraged us to try challenges ( our kids), but supported us in taking the easy option (me!), and it was a great balance of exhilarating and relaxing. Marla is a brilliant role model, and a lovely person and this trip will be one of the much talked about highlights of our holiday in Costa Rica.
