Natural Nosara - I really enjoyed everything. German was so informative and is so committed to supporting Nosara’s natural beauty which he relished showing me. I got to go to places few get to see and got a good workout too! He offered numerous suggestions to check out while we are here. The coconut water at the end was delicious. I will be going back for more! Wonderful time wonderful guide!

A great experience for the adventurous! - Wow this was an awesome experience. German is the most gracious guide and so knowledgeable- we learned all about the history of Nosara. The ride can be challenging at times in the heat but German takes well timed breaks. Recommend arriving well hydrated and bring water. We had a great time.

Take this tour! - Since this was my first time in Playa Guiones and was limited on time, I wanted something that would take me to multiple places and get some exercise out of it. This tour not only checked both boxes but exceeded my expectations! Cheers to German, our amazing tour guide who is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the area and what he does. He took my group on a tour through Playa Guiones, Nosara, Ostional, and Playa Pelada. We biked along rivers, up and down dirt roads, beaches, and through towns. Each stop came with interesting facts, stories, and insights about the area's history and how they came to be. Learned a ton and enjoyed all the sights! This tour is a must if you're in the area! 10/10 would recommend and do it again!

That blue zone feeling - This outing made our stay memorable! German loves this region of Costa Rica and taught us why Nosara is so special. I had read a bit about it before our trip but German gave us the inside scoop. Great pace, great views, great fun. Not surprised that all other reviews are 5/5.

Best bike tour! - This was by far an outstanding experience. German is passionate about this area and incredibly knowledgeable. He made this trip fun and safe for a couple in their 60s. Highly highly recommend it and will do it again when we come back to Costa Rica.

10/10 Bike Ride Exploring Nosara - German was an amazing guide! We did this as a family of 3 and had the best time. The route is great - you get to see Guiones, Rio Nosara, a teak forest, mango pasture, farmland and cattle fields, a black sand beach, and several beaches! Along the way, German taught us a bunch about the area. We had a great sweat too! Highly recommend for anybody who wants an active, immersive experience to explore Nosara.

Fun and informative tour of Nosara - German was amazing. He was warm, knowledgable and good at catering the trip to our group. We really enjoyed seeing a variety of Nosara including beaches and gorgeous woodsy areas while he shared stories about the region and answered our questions. Our kids were 21 and 24 and they loved it as well.

WOW!! I am totally recommending this tour! - WOW!! I am totally recommending this tour! I'm living in Nosara, but until now I only saw the beach and the restaurants around it. German showed me the "true" Nosara which is a lot of nature, Mango trees, more beaches, rivers and backstreets. I learned a lot of the history, the region and Nosara. And he really looks at who is joining and make the ride more or less intens. Thanks German!! I will join again

An Incredible, Authentic & Unique Way To Explore Nosara at Sunset - All I can say is WOW! What an incredible time we had with German biking at sunset around Nosara. My friend and I found out about German but unfortunately couldn't go in the morning due to work but we really wanted to do it and didn't mind it being a bit hotter. German agreed to take us out on a sunset bike and it was incredible, so glad we got to do it! We first started biking down the dirt roads of Nosara exploring the town then made our way to an off road trail that you never would have known was there, riding right next to the Nosara river as we rode by horses and the river. We continued down the back roads of Nosara - riding through a few authentic/local TICA neighborhoods and through the countryside enjoying the scenery of the local farms, cows and beautiful countryside as we made our way to Ostional. We finally made it to the beach as the sun start going down, we could see the coastline for miles and had the beach all to ourselves. Being it was the hot season (not rainy season) and us being more in shape of people, German knew we were up for it so he then took us riding back down the beach to Nosara since the sand was hard and dry. Because the conditions were perfect to allow this, we rode all the way down the black sand beach as the sun went down seeing local fisherman fishing and hiking our bike through a river. We finally rode back through Nosara and reached Playa Pelada, where we ended off doing a little hike up a cliff to see the sunset over the ocean and amazing views of the coastline. Honestly, we had such an incredible ride (and had a really good workout too)! It was our favorite thing we experienced in Nosara, having such an authentic experience and seeing things we would have never seen otherwise (the more local side). Don't hesitate to book this (it will be a great workout and if you're up for a little extra adventure and conditions allow it, ask German if you can do what we did ;) it was so worth it! Highly recommend this experience! Can't say enough good things about German and the tour! Thanks so much for an incredible experience!
