Start early for cooler conditions
Departing at sunrise avoids heat and traffic on coastal roads—expect the best light and calmer winds in the first two hours.
Helmet and gloves are non‑negotiable
Even on easy terrain, short gravel sections and descents make protective gear essential; helmets and gloves are provided but bring your own if preferred.
Manage battery modes
Use ECO for longer range and TURBO for steep short climbs—ask your guide to coach motor use to avoid mid‑ride depletion.
Bring closed‑toe shoes
Sandy and rocky patches require sturdy footwear; sandals can lead to slips or stubbed toes on brief off‑road stretches.
Closed‑toe trail shoes
Protects feet on sandy, gravel and short off‑road sections.
Refillable water bottle (1–1.5 L)
Staying hydrated is critical in Guanacaste's heat—guides provide drinks but personal water is recommended.
Sunscreen and hat
Strong tropical sun and reflective sand mean SPF and a brimmed hat will improve comfort.
