Moto
We chose the Suzuki V-Strom 650 because of its all around versatility as a dual tour machine. It is the right tool for the job.
MotoCaribe owns the bikes you’ll be using during the tour; this ensures that the bike will be in excellent working condition during your entire tour. Any mechanical issue that should arise is addressed by our full time mechanic. We even trailer along a spare bike.

Touring
A tour manager and staff are with you for the entire tour. Our tour support van accompanies each and every tour, packed with everything imaginable from cold beverages to beach towels and beach chairs to snorkels and flippers, even to inverters to charge your electronics, and anything that you care not to carry on your motorcycle. And if you chose not to ride your motorcycle that day, the van has ample seating so you can still experience that day’s events!
Our MotoCaribe tours are family friendly! Our 15 passenger tour van always follows the motorcyclists and makes the same stops they make so your family can enjoy and participate in the tour along with you. This is a unique feature of a MotoCaribe Adventure Tour! Share your passion with your family; you don’t have to leave your family behind. Bring them with you on our tours!
