Crossing three rivers in Costa Rica with CROCODILES 🇨🇷 |S6-E39|

What am I doing?? I completely forget that these rivers in Costa Rica all have crocodiles in them. And now I am checking how deep it is, to see if I can cross it on my motorcycle... I make a quick escape and from now on, I only cross rivers around here as fast as I can!

Whenever I and my son see a trail moto similar to Alaska or Savannah, my son will scream, "mommy that's Noraly motorcycle!". He just start to loving that kind of motorcycle now. Love from Lombok, Indonesia Noraly❤

[@rimrunz1795]

You ought to visit our area of Thailand, we've got many good secondary roads for scenic riding.... "the narrows" part of the malayan peninsula, ocean on both sides and mtn ranges in between. Of course, you've got lots of great riding down there, i know

[@paoloalberati5885]

These roads running along the shores and into the jungle are awesome, what a journey we are making thanks to the Flying Dutchwoman! And almost 1 million subscrivers already, amazing

[@richmotion]

Crossed the first river on my Rally yesterday. Small, no animals, not very deep, no big rocks. I contemplated for two minutes until I got the cojones to do it. So even more respect to you, Noraly.

[@maxcactus7]

I'm genuinely not sure which I'm more impressed with - the amazing beauty of Costa Rica you so wonderfully captured on video for us, or your intrepid sense of adventure! You outdo yourself in every new video and I LOVE being along for the journey. Thank you so much, Noraly!

Noraly, such a beautiful day to ride! It is obvious that the motorcycle is in your blood, the wind is in your face, the scenery is in your soul and, the people? The good people are in your heart! Thank you for sharing your adventure and your daily interactions with the locals. Ride safe Noraly!

[@naturewithbilal]

Hi, I have a question. You are riding on the coast and your navigation device is showing 21m elevation above the sea level 🤔 Please anyone can explain???

[@WillysPerformanceCycleCtr]

@@naturewithbilal ….. that’s a good question! I think that sea level is an average surface level of one or more among earth's bodies of water from which heights may be measured. I don’t think it’s an exact zero point, except at given, predetermined points. Someone might correct me if I’m wrong!

[@paulfarghi]

With all the sadness and horror in the world at present, your videos bring much light, happiness and adventure. Thank You

[@Theodorussfo]

The men you have been meeting on this trip (as in the other trips) really respect you. They expect you to have your own mind and are capable to make your own decisions and respect those decisions even when they wouldn't do the same like walking into the middle of a river infested with crocodiles. I admit though that I laughed out loud when you waited until you were in the middle of the river to ask if there were crocodiles in it.

[@fred993a]

That ride along the ocean was simply spectacular!

[@iluvutubetube]

I had to stop everything I am doing to watch this episode with crocodiles! Go go go Noraly!

[@rishnot16]

This is one of those videos where I am at the edge of my seat while hoping for her to safely complete her excursions and then I realize that the the only way I am able to see this video is because she safely completed her journey and has uploaded the video herself. During the entire duration of the video I was looking out for crocodiles, glad that none of them endangered her safety.

[@_AGD]

Hugo is the perfect representation of Costa Rican hospitality. Pura Vida!!

[@timpellett9701]

Thanks for the ride Noraly! My wife (Barb) was getting very nervous for you crossing the crocodile rivers. What a beautiful ride along the coast. Thank you to Hugo for his guidance! Looking forward to the next adventure!

[@super.zdravko]

Noraly: standing in the middle of the river “Are there crocodiles here?” Costa Rican Man: standing by the shore “Yes, big ones! That’s why I’m standing by the shore and not standing in the middle of the river!” /// roughly translated ;) ///

[@grossi46]

True 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

LMAO. The dude is a legend!

[@lorenthealchemist3515]

LOL 😂 Always ask about crocodiles before standing in the middle of the river. 😂

[@storm1430]

Just fabulous how easily Noraly just fits in with the locals just chatting away like she’s known them forever. It feels like you’re right there with them 🙏👍🏻

[@carlnietoweise4653]

Whahaha! Too right!

[@charleschampion4682]

Hugo sounding more like a motorcycle than a boat was cool. Hugo with the confidence push. You got 300 go full throttle and don't fall down. That means stay upright so the crocs can't catch ya. Roll on Lady Trouper :-)==

[@robbrike4619]

One of the most beautiful coastal roads we've ever seen; the word 'paradisian' is on its place, I would think so. Then, you were lucky to find a teammate, what a fun you both had, riding on the beach, between the sea on the left and the jungle on the right; well done, Noraly, you were amazing!

[@christophmensch3945]

This episode was like highlight hopping, Pura Vida at its best! Sceneries, riding, encounter with Hugo, adventure…one superlative, so uplifting in these crazy times here in Europe, thank you!!!

[@cheyjan330]

Your explanations about how the weather changes and "feels" as you travel helps me feel the adventure of where you are traveling. Those crocodile have a good life! Happy you avoided any "one on one" encounters with those creatures! As always you prove that 99% of this world is full of kind and trustworthy humans. Thank you Hugo, love your passion for motorbikes and for helping our Noraly!!

[@Susan-ek2gy]

Watch out for cougars too. Have you ever had a dangerous encounter with any wild animals in your travels?

[@tkc8873]

"River crossing with crocs" is crossed off the bucket list. When I first saw Hugo's ride I was like, "It's Savanah's Costa Rican cousin!" But maybe more like a little sister.

[@eleanorjames1118]

The first episode of Itchy Boots I ever watched was her beach ride on the west coast of South Africa. "I hate riding on sand" was the first thing she said then. Wonderful to watch her taking to a beach with such confidence now. Then, as now, she was accompanied along the beach by kind locals, happy to show the way. Have been totally hooked on Itchy Boots since that first beach ride.

[@rico1319]

I’ve been to the Nosara on the peninsula of Nicoya 3 times and believe me the crocodiles are real! Fished and kayaked most of those rivers with the crocodiles and into the mangroves. The locals are beautiful people. I hope you find a great place to stay in Nosara!. I’ve been following your videos from the beginning. first time I commented. But you can make an old fart like me feel young again riding on those beaches in through the mountains. keep up the good work. your videos are beautiful!! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱

[@Grahamcracker6366]

Hugo seems like a nice guy with loads of stories to tell. ❤️

[@luisalejandrorojas8631]

Bravo Hugo. It is natural to have some concerns about unknown people in remote places. But Hugo was the man. Then I thought about the crocodiles!! Lovely scenery yet again.

[@michaeldmckenzie]

I am constantly amazed at all the kind and helpful people you’ve met all over the world.

[@mylovedwildanimals8520]

But one day she could run out of luck and God forbid, to meet a man that could hurt her. She never ever should go with men she doesn't know well to jungles, like in this case. She could have gone "missing". It happens to other women every day.

[@michaelwong5356]

The scene where you and Hugo were riding on the beach is just breathtakingly stunning. The colour of the sky and the waves is absolutely awesome.

[@JackHumphrey]

One of the most beautiful stretches of riding you've had for sure. That beach, wow!

[@ragweed3524]

Alaska is nearly a mermaid! Meanwhile the crocs are on their best behavior. So glad you didn’t have to stop and set up cameras to get a shot of them lol. Beautiful ride indeed. Must be so cool to ride in such a beautiful place...alone with nature. Thanks for the ride Noraly.

I love how often these episodes are released. It's a great change in my day from the constant insanity. They call it rich coast for a reason. I wish you took a surfing lesson from hugo.

[@lavapix]

That route is a no-go for much of the rainy season. The dry season is so nice. Lots of friendly locals with great advice and more than happy to help.

[@metric4710]

The pace Noraly is able to publish very high quality stories is something incredible!

[@auralsonicwaves7170]

The ride along the beach was very pleasing leading into the anxiety of crossing rivers of uncertain depth and possibility of crocodiles. But all that goes into making a great adventure story. Can't wait to find out what happens next.

[@nicoleayienga593]

10:00 am in Ontario. I asked a man driving a car 'taxi' and he replied 'Si'. Part way home I realized he was not a taxi driver but a kind local who gave me a ride. 💜 Costa Rica

I follow a number of travel vloggers, but no one is even close to you. Just amazing.

@@grantwtk Hi Grant, I rent one, this was my fourth trip. Most of the tourist areas rent quads and motorbikes, mostly small engine typically 150 or 200cc, you have to look around a bit to find someone with a CrF250, expect tp pay around 60 to 70 USD per day for rental.

The guy rided a Honda XR 250 Tornado. It is a bit lighter than Alaska. They are very popular on/off bykes in southamerica (made formerly in Brasil, now in Argentina). Have almost same power than Alaska. I own one myself, and use it to ride in the foothill trails of Los Andes Mountain, in Mendoza, Argentina.

I only found your channel about 3 months ago, so i have been binge watching your videos everyday and i have finally caught up with you in Costa Rica. I can only say what has already been said before, brilliant, wonderful, interesting, exciting, informative. As someone who has ridden a motorbike, flown a drone and tried video editing, i can appreciate what you do. It is very easy to watch your videos and forget the hard work that goes into the 15-20 minutes. People forget about having to charge batteries, set up your drone, research your route and plan places of interest to visit etc etc. Keep doing what you’re doing.

Those river crossings took some bravery and trust of the locals. We have alligators where I am in Florida but crocodiles are much more apt to attack a human. Thankfully those crossings were not as deep as they looked.
