- 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❤
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
Hugo is the perfect representation of Costa Rican hospitality. Pura Vida!!
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!
She's ma real inspiration
A champion
@@williamgamelisenaya793 …. I must agree with you!
Totally!!!
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???
@@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!
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.
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 ;) ///
True 🤣🤣🤣🤣
LMAO. The dude is a legend!
LOL 😂 Always ask about crocodiles before standing in the middle of the river. 😂
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 🙏👍🏻
Whahaha! Too right!
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!
come whenever you want here we are waiting for you!🇨🇷🇨🇷🇨🇷
She is definitely Excellent & Extraordinary. I only just discovered her yesterday; and now I am so-o-o hooked. "Good SHOW!! EVERYONE INVOLVED!!"
Vida Pura, & Pura Vida. THANKS!!
I've never realized how foreigners could see my country through their eyes but this video helped ❤️
Que lindo mi ranchito 🇨🇷 ❤️
I had to stop everything I am doing to watch this episode with crocodiles! Go go go Noraly!
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!
With all the sadness and horror in the world at present, your videos bring much light, happiness and adventure. Thank You
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.
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
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!!!
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!!
Watch out for cougars too. Have you ever had a dangerous encounter with any wild animals in your travels?
Bueno te deseo mucha salud y bendiciones para que logres tu meta pronto estarás en. Nicaragua acá hay lugares muy Bo otos también porque somos el centro a de centro América y de América. Acá te esperamos. Saludos.
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.
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 :-)==
That ride along the ocean was simply spectacular!
"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.
Attitude = Accepting and conquering the challange! !! !!! Always a smile and a laugh.
After a weekend watching the news of the craziness going on in Ukraine your videos are a pleasant break from that. Reminding us what wonderful people there are around the world and how much beauty there is. You are the most beautiful person and I can’t thank you enough for sharing all this with us. I follow a number of travel vloggers, but no one is even close to you. Just amazing.
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.
One of the most beautiful stretches of riding you've had for sure. That beach, wow!
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!! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱
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.
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!
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.
I am constantly amazed at all the kind and helpful people you’ve met all over the world.
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.
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.
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.
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.
It's just amazing how stabilised the pictures are...
The bike and the helmet is vibrating and the video is rock solid!👍😎
GoPro Hero 8- 9 or 10 do that
Love my GoPro
@@richieyyz she uses GoPro hero 10s and a GoPro max
Hugo seems like a nice guy with loads of stories to tell. ❤️
Now, he has a new one 😂
Hugo is a gent, the beach ride was envy inducing and river crossings with the ever present danger of large reptiles with teeth. What a day. 👍
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.
Thanks for such a great exposure of Península de Guanacaste OffRoad Experience! 🏍️🏍️🏍️🇨🇷
Leaving us with a cliffhanger, well done Noraly! What a beautiful to ride, beach, river crossings, nice Forrest. Great!
Such a beautiful country. You passed right by some of the most amazing towns and beaches anywhere in the world! Stay safe Noraly!
Any video that begins with the question which part of the stream has the larger crocodiles earns my immediate attention!
At 10:21 the Garmin shows no roads and the speedo shows 30 kph. I think this is the way Noraly likes it! Aye no, no Hombre! Hugo was quite the character. 🏄🏻♂ Crocodiles definitely will be nothing most of us will ever need to keep an eye out for. 🐊🐊 Thanks for the adventure, Noraly. Another great episode. 👍🤙😎☀
Hugo probably was happy to have an excuse for a little excursion down the beach! Gosh, what a gorgeous bit of world! 😍
I am gobsmacked! My gast is flabbered! 🤗
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.
If I were 10 years younger (I'm 53) I would certenly be in love 💕 with Noraly. What a woman...!!!
@@enriquetroncoso7493 As if age would protect a bloke of foolish feelings… 🙃🥰
@@enriquetroncoso7493 is a CRF230
Holy S, it takes guts to cross a croc infested river,.. Hugo was right, "no problem"😁... Well done and big thanks Noraly!!
I really enjoy meeting the Locals that cross your path along your journeys . Your smile always wins them over I am sure of that :D
Hi Noraly I just got back to Sweden from a month in Costa Rica, riding those dirt roads and those river crossings on the Nicoya peninsula on a CRF250, its just fantastic.
keep the videos coming!
Did you rent a motorbike in Costa Rica or bring a bike from Sweden?
@@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.
@@stevepike195 Thank you
Pura vida
What a beautiful beach ride , Noraly. And the river crossings , with crocodiles? , You’re amazing . Thanks for sharing today’s adventure. Stay safe and well. Dan ✌️🏍🇨🇦
I love the river crossings. They make the best “cliff hangers” as far as traveling into the unknown. It was fortunate you met Hugo and DIDN’T meet any crocodiles.👍👍😏
Great episode again Noraly, your are becoming a river crossing expert! The advantage is that Alaska also gets a washdown after all the salty water. Wonderful footage again with such friendly people!
BONGO RIVER AND ARIO.. COSTA RICA. Is beautiful...
Croc 1: Is that dinner? Croc 2: No! That's Itchy Boots... let her pass!
Happy trails!
Noraly, bringing the old Honda ad “You meet the nicest people on a Honda” to life. Honda needs to sponsor her and do ads with her.
Noraly you brighten my day by showing me parts of the world I will never get to see, mainstream tv is such a bore compared to you wonderful vloggers..can’t wait for your next video x
Gracias por disfrutar de nuestro país! Siempre serás bienvenida!
Costa Rican beaches-brilliant! Hugo was the man of the day with his knowledge of the rivers!!
The pace Noraly is able to publish very high quality stories is something incredible!
Standing up looked like it really made a difference crossing those rivers, nice job.👍
Thank you very much for visiting our country
Awesome riding in this episode, Hugo was a big help. Ride safe Noraly.
Another breathtaking ride: along the pacific coast beaches! WOW! That is for sure "Pura Vida"!
Another tough day at the office, Nora! beautiful sky, beautiful beach, lovely trails...some truly amazing flora and fauna in Costa Rica. I hope you managed to spend some time in the cloud forests....enchanted places
Thanks Noraly you’re awesome 👍🏻😎🏍️
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.
Noraly, offroad with the sea, there is no shortage in Portugal. Hug from Porto-Portugal.
Hugo Boss ... "big crocodiles!"
Noraly ... "where? I'll cross all three rivers anyway!"
Alaska ... "yes, put me to the test - no problemo!"
Awesome video. Such a beautiful coastal ride.
Responding to your latest Itchy Boots Mail - I support your decision to keep posting during the current situation in Ukraine. You have shown us time and again how people are basically good all around the world. All that most people want is peace and the prospect of a better world for their families. The last thing this world needs right now (or ever) is war. Instead we need to come together for each other and the planet. Don't feel bad about being a long way from Europe, doing what you are doing. You are shining a light on decent people in what can be a beautiful world. Go Girl!
For a time there it looked like Hugo was sand surfing. What a gorgeous place to be.
Our African crocs love that shallow water for stalking their prey.
Love Costa Rica . Hate deep water crossings. They cause extra maintenance work, wheel bearings. You did so good, you got big ones girl. This season has just been over the top. 176k views and 24k likes, hit the like people. She deserves it. This is great, stay safe.
Noraly is living the dream.
Being in the stormy UK right now really gets your wanderlust up to ride on beaches like this.
I hope I can do that one day.
Ride save Noraly.
Pura vida tuanis !! Noraly doet het gewoon, gracias mae Hugo !!
Hello Noraly..., your good vibes always attract good people..., Hugo was a true gentleman 💪👏👏👏
It’s 1 month I’m following the adventures of this incredible woman. I just can’t stop to be amazed by her, the things she does by herself are just unbelievable. Amazing human being, just amazing.
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
Nice "gallo pinto" for breakfast ... beautiful ride on the beach ... and the rivers crossing... this video was !PURA VIDA!
What a wonderful coastal road! Love the river crossings. Well done!
Nice videos about Pura vida Land :), The breakfast (rice and beans) it's called "Gallo Pinto" is a typical dish here. Love your videos! Muchas gracias Noraly.
It is so wonderful to watch these videos by Noraly! Amazing adventures and beautiful scenery. Thank you once again!
Noraly congratulations for your courage and adventurous personality
We're ALL cheering for you, NORALY! 💥💪😁🏆👏❤️🥰 Helpers appear at every turn. I could watch your videos all day. I love your adventurous spirit! BRAVO!!
jajaja hay nooo No hombre 😂😂 cada día veo más tus vídeos y más love you ❤😊
I love this! I love everything about this channel, everything about Noraly’s demeanor. It always makes me smile. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The legend know as Hugo! ✌🍻
The guardian angel of the 3 rivers.....lives on
There is a new movie out. It's called "Crocodile Noraly". It's about this Dutch/Australian girl who fights crocodiles, repairs motorcycle flats, and saves the world.
You forgot to mention the 15” knife she Carrie’s as her only weapon.
Good one BT. Lol 😁
Australian?
@@johnlaw5762 She spent time working in Australia and has picked up a little HRT (high rising terminal) to her sentences. In other words she has a small Aussi twang or accent in her speech. Perhaps that is why the reference to Dutch Australian comment.
@@johnlaw5762 You must not have seen the movie Crocodile Dundee.
Thank you for your heartfelt email regarding the situation in Ukraine and Europe. Your videos are so appreciated by many people, and yesterday I told my husband after hours of watching news that I just have to watch Itchy Boots so I can smile! Thanks for all your work.
Your caution is wise, but once again you show that not always taking the easy path can have great rewards! What a spectacular ride through one of the most beautiful and wild countries in the world. Thank you for inviting us along with you and God speed be with you always.
In all my years, I have ridden Enduros in snow, axel deep mud, I've crossed rivers where the water is splashing against the air-box but I never have crossed rivers with giant flesh eating reptiles swimming about. Noraly, you have one upped me and so many others again; wow!
This made my Monday morning! Thank you for taking us along on your beautiful, adventurous and fun journeys!
Take good care and see you back here soon. 🏍❤️
No words to write. Noraly, you are the best. You deserve more than a million followers. First million is coming soon 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Ciao from Thailand
A magical ride along the beach with Hugo as your wing man , I feel so envious , Stay safe from the U/K.
Wooouuuuu that beach crossing was a Safire jewel 🧡🔝🔝🔝🔝
Wow Noraly, you keep raising the bar. Riding through the thick jungle across croc-infected rivers under the advise of a perfect stranger!!! So impressed of your courage.
Costa Rica la Suiza Centroamericana. Noraly cuidado en ese camino.
From mountains and volcanoes to beach riding, wonderful, keep safe and looking forward to your next adventure.
Prachtige motorrit in die mooie oceaanweg en strand ! 10:00 Noraly : "Pura Vida😃 !" Je wordt echt de koningin van de rivier oversteken (drie voor vandag !) Fantastische video ! Goed gedaan !
My time isn't wasted everytime i watch your videos! Just take good care! God bless you and your ride!
Hugo is a hoot! I like his sound effects too. They say you meet the nicest people on a Honda. What blast on those trails and on the beach too.
Brilliant ride today, loved every minute of it, will probably watch it again. You got a lot of guts girl. Thanks Noraly.
Bravo Noraly you are simply the best at what you do, blessings from NZ
Beautiful scenery! You and Hugo, like a Indiana Jones movie! Fantastic! Well done "Nora" Noraly! 🤠😊🌴🌊
Wow! What an adventure indeed!
I felt the excitement of the river crossings. Noraly, I love your channel. Thank you for sharing and stay safe.
Noraly, you are one brave lady!
Brings back memories to my time as a dive guide in Tamarindo, such a great place ! safe trip Noraly
Riding on the beach, that was the coolest thing!
