   Group check, 60 days before

   Group confirmation: 60 days before departure

   The minimum group size is assessed 60 days before the scheduled departure date.

   If at least 4 participants have booked, the trip will proceed. BikingCR will notify you that the remaining balance is due 60 days before departure.

   If four participants have not confirmed their reservations by this deadline, BikingCR will contact everyone booked on that departure and offer two options:

   • Cancel your reservation: Receive a full refund of your US$1,200 deposit, without cancellation fees or deductions.
   • Change your departure date: Transfer your US$1,200 deposit to another available scheduled departure, subject to availability.

   The choice is yours. BikingCR will not automatically transfer your reservation to another date without your agreement.

   Want to know how many people have booked a particular departure?

   You may contact BikingCR at any time, including 60 or 30 days before departure, to ask for the current number of registered participants for your selected trip.

   Complete payment

   The remaining balance is due 60 days before departure. For bookings made less than 60 days before the trip’s arrival date, the full trip price is payable at the time of booking.

   If payment is not received on time, BikingCR will contact you to request payment. If the outstanding balance remains unpaid, BikingCR reserves the right to cancel your reservation and retain the deposit, subject to the Deposits, Payments & Refund Policy.

Our Mission, Vision & Values

Our mission

To share the joy of discovering Costa Rica by bike.

We create thoughtfully designed mountain biking journeys that take people beyond the usual routes and closer to the landscapes, communities and everyday life of Costa Rica.

We believe the best adventures are not measured only in kilometers, but in the people we meet, the places we discover, the challenges we overcome and the memories we carry home.

Our role is to make every journey feel personal, well cared for and genuinely connected to the country we call home.

Our vision

To become one of Costa Rica's most trusted and respected mountain biking tour companies, known for doing things the right way.

We want to build a company that grows through the quality of its experiences, the trust of its guests, the dedication of its team and the strength of its local relationships.

Our ambition is to create something lasting: a business that people recommend, employees are proud to be part of, local communities are glad to work with, and future generations can look back on with respect.

We want to grow without losing what makes us different: our personal approach, our love of cycling and our genuine connection to Costa Rica.

Our values

1. 1. Genuine Hospitality

   We welcome people as guests, not customers or booking numbers. We take the time to listen, understand individual needs and make everyone feel comfortable, respected and included.

   We believe small gestures, honest conversations and thoughtful attention often make the biggest difference.

2. 2. Safety Comes First

   Adventure should be exciting, not careless. We take our responsibility seriously, from choosing appropriate routes and maintaining our bikes to listening to our guides and adapting when conditions change.

   We never compromise safety to keep a schedule or satisfy expectations.

3. 3. Authentic Experiences

   We want people to experience the real Costa Rica, not simply pass through it. We seek out quiet roads, rural landscapes, local traditions and genuine encounters that reveal the character of this country.

   We choose substance over spectacle and meaningful experiences over tourist checklists.

4. 4. Respect for People & Place

   We respect the people, communities, cultures and natural environments that make our journeys possible.

   We aim to work with local businesses, build lasting relationships, support the communities along our routes and leave the places we visit with care and consideration.

   We recognize that we are guests in many of the places where we ride.

5. 5. Quality in Every Detail

   We believe a great experience is the result of many things done well. From a properly fitted bicycle and a well-planned route to a reliable support vehicle, comfortable accommodation and a warm welcome, every detail matters.

   We take pride in our work, keep learning and never stop looking for ways to improve.

6. 6. Integrity & Trust

   We say what we mean and do what we promise. We communicate honestly, are transparent about our prices and policies, and take responsibility when something does not go as planned.

   We believe a good reputation is earned over time, through consistent actions rather than big promises.

7. 7. The Joy of the Ride

   We never want to lose sight of why we started: the freedom of riding, the pleasure of being outdoors and the happiness of discovering somewhere new.

   We encourage curiosity, camaraderie, personal achievement and a healthy sense of adventure. There is room for different abilities, different personalities and different reasons to ride.

Our commitment

We are here to build more than a tour company. We want to build a community around the joy of cycling and the discovery of Costa Rica.

We will grow thoughtfully, treat people fairly, take pride in what we do and remain curious about the places and people around us.

We know that the best journeys are built on trust, and that the best businesses are built the same way.
