The Coast To Coast Adventure

Trip Overview

(Biking, Hiking, Kayaking, and Whitewater Rafting)  TopMentions2009_NGT_Tour_of_a_Lifetime1_web.jpgOn this exciting Costa Rica adventure tour, the challenge is set up for you to traverse from the Pacific coast to the Caribbean solely by muscle power. While this could be considered a bike tour, during this fully guided itinerary, we also hike, kayak, and raft during our adventure-filled expedition across the country.

Beginning on rocky cliffs and white sand beaches, we pedal and hoof along mountainous roads, pushing across the continental divide. We bike across the Talamanca mountain range and pass through rain and cloud forests, coffee plantations, and quaint agricultural villages. Finally, we drift peacefully to the Caribbean shores, and celebrate with champagne in the surf.

Pacuare River
Rafting

Biking & Sea Kayaking

Today, we'll kick off our final leg of the journey with a short bike ride through the picturesque banana plantations to the charming town of Freeman. From there, we'll take to the waters in kayaks and paddle down the majestic Pacuare River, leaving the rapids behind as we immerse ourselves in the breathtaking Caribbean lowlands. The frothy whitewater mellows to a gentle flow and we paddle our way into the Caribbean lowlands where banana plantations gradually swallow the receding rainforest. Our kayaking adventure will culminate in a leisurely ride down the last mile of the river, where the water slows to a tranquil pace, providing a perfect opportunity to reflect on our journey so far. As we reach the mouth of the Pacuare and greet the Caribbean Sea, we'll celebrate our success with a bubbly toast in the surf, enjoying a well-deserved rest on the beach.

To cap off our adventure, we'll be picked up by a motorboat and whisked away to Moin, where we'll travel by vehicle to Cahuita. Here we rest up in a comfortable hotel as we congratulate ourselves on completing the journey from Coast to Coast of Costa Rica!

Travel Documents

To enter the country for a Costa Rica adventure vacation, you must hold a current passport valid for six months beyond your date of departure. Citizens of Canada, the US and the UK do not require a travel visa to enter Costa Rica. Visa requirements vary from country to country. Check with your local Costa Rican consulate for current requirements.

Food and Water

Some must-tries include gallo pinto (a dish consisting of rice, black beans and spices), empanadas (bread turnover stuffed with bread and cheese) and ceviche (seafood marinated in a lemon, onion, and garlic sauce). Water is usually safe to drink in San Jose, however bottled water is recommended when traveling in the country and is easily purchased at stores. If you are susceptible to changes in the water, you will find that fresh juices, soft drinks and beer are readily available.

FAQ

How big are BikeHike's groups?

Our adventures are built for small groups, with a maximum of 12 travellers on each guided tour. Each group is diverse, comprised of men and women of many different nationalities and ages. By travelling in small groups we leave minimal ecological impact, cause less disruption to the native life and are able to gain a better appreciation for our surroundings. Small numbers also allow greater flexibility and spontaneity: a dinner in a local home, an impromptu village wedding invite and any such experiences that can become among the most memorable experiences of your BikeHike adventure.

How fit do I need to be to join this trip?

We understand that people come in many fitness levels, so we've graded our trips accordingly. There are four difficulty levels on our trips: Easy, Moderate, Challenging, and Strenuous.

The Coast to Coast Adventure is a "challenging" trip.

"Challenging" trips are physically demanding and best suited for strong people with a high endurance level. Days can be long with a total of about 7-9 hours of activity, in remote regions and occasionally without a support vehicle nearby.

We strongly recommend that you begin a regular fitness program that includes regular cycling - that is if you are not already doing so. Working out four times a week (including some riding whenever possible), 60 minutes per session should be a minimum to prepare you for this adventure. In addition, try to get in some longer distance rides beforehand to prepare for your adventure.

Has this trip been run before?

BikeHike Adventures has been operating since 1994. We began in Costa Rica so this is one of our longest running trips.

The logistics of organizing tours to remote corners of the world can be very complex. Our trip development department spends long hours researching destinations, routes, ground operations and equipment. All itineraries are screened without clients before they are added to our growing repertoire of adventures. Nothing is untested.

Can you tell me about your typical BikeHike travellers on this trip?

Our travellers share a common love for outdoor adventure. Most are looking for a physical adventure in an unfamiliar destination. This trip attracts one of our most diverse groups. A typical trip is comprised of men and women of varied ages and nationalities. We've had as many as six nationalities represented on the same trip before. Although there are a few die-hard triathletes and marathon runners, most of our clients on this trip are regular mortals in good physical condition, who exercise regularly and are invigorated by a personal challenge.

As well, the age range on this trip is typically from 30-60, although we occasionally get younger and older travellers as well.

Which airport do we fly in and out of for this trip?

San Jose, Costa Rica. You can arrive anytime on day 1 of the trip and depart anytime on day 12. 

What is the best time of the year to go on a trip to Costa Rica?

Costa Rica is suitable year round. Located just ten degrees north of the Equator, Costa Rica enjoys the advantages of the "perfect" tropical climate. The average temperature is 22°C (72°F) in the highlands and temperatures vary from mid 20’s to low 30’s °C (77°F to 95°F) in the lowlands. All year long the conditions are pleasantly moderate, with a rainy season from June to early November, and a dry season from December through May.

Can I take this trip if...

I am a solo traveller? How does solo accommodation and costing work?

Many of our travellers (both men and women) join as singles. On average, BikeHike groups are 75% single travellers and 25% couples. However, this trip is usually even more singles. This trip is likely closer to 90% singles. 

Unlike many adventure travel companies, we don't charge single supplement fees to solo travellers. Instead, we pair you with another traveller of the same gender. If we can't find you a roommate, you get your own room at no additional charge. A single private room supplement fee is only required if you specifically request a confirmed private room for the duration of the trip. Learn more about solo travel with BikeHike

I have special dietary requirements?

We will do our best to accommodate special dietary requests (e.g. vegetarian, gluten free, etc.), but ask that you please discuss your request with us when signing up for a trip.

I am travelling with children? Is this trip child friendly?

While most of our trips are created with adults in mind, many of our itineraries are suitable for strong and active teenagers. This trip is definitely not a family focused trip. However, we do offer many Family Focused trips, some of which are able to accommodate children as young as six.

Can you tell me more about the activities?

What kind of bikes do you provide?

We use Trek 4500 and Scott Aspect 49er mountain bikes because of the rugged roads. All bikes have front suspension and disc brakes. The riding is not suitable for road bikes.

Does this trip have E-bikes?

This trip is not suitable for E-bikes.

What is the biking like on this trip?

We will cycle on varied terrain from country paved and dirt roads to uphill switchbacks and downhill single track. On average we will cycle for four to five hours per day at a steady pace. Costa Rica is mountainous, so expect a good deal of uphill climbs. There is no singletrack riding during the trip, but some of the roads require you to pick your line, due to ruts and holes in the road, but none of the riding is considered technical.

If we are a full group of 12 participants, there will be a minimum of two guides. This means that you can cycle at the speed you are most comfortable at without feeling pressure from other people. There will be one guide in the lead and the other sweeping the last person.

If the group size is below six, there will be one guide, and s/he will stay behind with the slowest person, while giving directions to the faster cyclists. Our guides are extremely skilled at working with individuals who are keen to gain the techniques on how to ride a mountain effortlessly.

Is there a support vehicle?

Yes. The support vehicle will carry all the necessary equipment like bikes, drinking water and all our personal equipment. You will have access to the support vehicle throughout the trip, except for the three nights at the riverside camp. The vehicle will be available in the mornings before your departure, at lunch and also at the end of each day upon arrival to your destination.

Does it matter if I have never rafted before? What if I don’t swim?

During the rafting, there are up to 6 people plus one guide in a raft. Before the start of the rafting, you will be given a full safety briefing. When rafting, you must wear a lifejacket and a helmet. If the water levels are too high and the river is dangerous, the guides will come up with a plan B for the day.

It is not a problem if you can’t swim for the rafting. Everyone will be wearing a life jacket. Firstly, sitting in the back of the boat is the easiest place for the rafting, with less chances of falling out of the boat. If you are nervous about even the possibility of falling out of the boat, you can go down in our oar boat (equipment boat). It is also a raft, but with an internal frame. It is much more stable than a regular raft and the possibilities of it tipping are very remote.

What is the camping like?

There are five nights of camping on this trip. The first two nights are more rustic camping. There are flush toilets but no showers available for these nights. The other three nights camping are more "glamping" style than rustic camping. For the two nights on the Pacuare River, you will be surrounded by the beauty of the rainforest and beautiful manicured gardens, the tents there are mounted on wooden platforms and you'll have access to an open-air dining room and kitchen, a washroom with flush toilets, cold showers and sinks and lots of hammocks in a gazebo to relax in. This is an incredible experience, as you'll be tenting in Costa Rican paradise!

What is the hiking like?

The hikes on this adventure are easy to moderate walks with no gear required apart from a light daypack.

What is the kayaking like?

The kayaking on this adventure takes place on a mellow section of the Pacuare River using sit-on-top kayaks.

Accommodation

Most of this trip is comfortable tenting experiences due to the logistics of biking, hiking, kayaking, and rafting across the country. 

Specifically, this trip includes the following types of accommodation:

HOTELS

In an effort to keep money in the communities we visit around the world, BikeHike prefers small hotels, bungalows, and haciendas that showcase the character and local flair of each destination.

CAMPING

Camping on this trip usually involves rustic camping with tents on raised platforms. However, two of the nights are more "glamping" style than rustic camping, when camping at a beautiful riverside campsite. Surrounded by the beauty of the rainforest and beautiful manicured gardens, the tents there are mounted on wooden platforms and you'll have access to an open-air dining room and kitchen, a washroom with flush toilets and sinks and lots of hammocks in a gazebo to relax in. This is an incredible experience as you'll be tenting in Costa Rican paradise! 

CABIN

One night is in a rustic cabin. However, this accommodation is comfortable and your night's stay will showcase the natural character of the location.

Our guide did a fantastic job and worked tirelessly to make sure we were safe, happy, informed and well taken care of. The mixture of activities, hiking, biking, rafting, kayaking and the itinerary each day was just right. The organization and communication was first class. Everything was excellent. The rafting was a particularly thrilling experience, made all the more fun by the friendly and capable guides.

I especially loved getting to be active on vacation and the variety of activities we engaged in. Honestly, I think I got much more value out of the trip than what it cost me. If I didn't have a thing about repeating visits to countries before I've visited other new ones, I would love to do this trip again!

Everything was just perfect - hard to top! I loved the mixture between sleeping in a tent, cabins and lodges. I highly appreciate that this trip doesn't follow the typical touristic routes. I got the feeling that I saw (and experienced) the real Costa Rica life.

My first trip with BikeHike was on the Costa Rica Coast-to-Coast Adventure in 2008. I had never traveled solo on an adventure trip before - little did I know it would be far from a solo and it would set a new standard for my future travels. The BikeHike trips and mission of “connecting the world through active travel” have provided me the gift of new friends (including Trish!), a plethora of new knowledge about local culture, amazing active adventures, delicious local food, and an introduction to a new parts of the world where I’ve often returned to explore even more . I’ve traveled on six BikeHike tours now, each one with new friends made on prior trips, and have always have had a wonderful time – thank you Trish and team!!

I loved the entire trip, but I think it was the combination of all different elements (biking, hiking, rafting) in combination with the camping that I loved the most. The food prepared in the evenings was perfect! It was a great guide! He knew a lot about nature, animals as well as just the surroundings, plus great English.

At the end of the Costa Rica Cross-Country Adventure, our troupe was in sea kayaks in the final 10km leg downriver to the Caribbean. Skiffs carrying tourists were heading up-river, from where we just came. I swear, I looked at the tourists looking at us and saw envy and admiration for this dirty ragged group. You can see ... or you can experience.

The guide, Juan Carlos, was unbeatable. Also, I like that it was physically challenging. The activity level was refreshing. Most trips "say" they're "active," but this trip lived up to it.
