What to Pack for a Scooter Day Trip in Tamarindo

A scooter day trip around Tamarindo is pure freedom — but a little planning makes it even better. Here's what to bring.

The essentials

• Sunscreen and sunglasses — the Guanacaste sun is strong.
• A small backpack you can wear snugly while riding.
• Water — stay hydrated between stops.
• Phone with offline maps downloaded.

For the beach stops

• A quick-dry towel and swimsuit.
• Flip-flops plus closed shoes for riding.
• A dry bag for your phone and cash.

Smart extras

Start with a full tank so you don't hunt for gas, and grab an extra helmet if you're bringing a friend. Both are easy add-ons when you book.

Ride ready

Travel light, ride safe, and give yourself time to wander. The best spots around Tamarindo are the ones you find by accident.
