Guanacaste Coast
Destination

Two hours of surf lessons with professional instructors, folded into a full day of swimming, snorkeling, and Guanacaste's best-known beaches.

Enjoy a full day of sun, adventure, and Costa Rican culture at some of Guanacaste's most iconic beaches. This tour combines the serenity of exploring pristine coastlines with the thrill of a surf lesson at one of the country's most renowned surfing destinations.

Certified guides will accompany you on a scenic journey along the coast, where you can swim in crystal-clear waters, relax on golden sands, snorkel among vibrant marine life, and take part in an authentic surf lesson with professional instructors. The surf lesson is designed for beginners and requires no prior experience.

In approximately two hours, you'll learn the basics and have the chance to stand on your board and ride your first wave, always under the guidance of a bilingual instructor. A traditional Costa Rican lunch at a beachfront restaurant perfectly blends nature, adventure, and local flavor.

    Daniel Alvarado

    Driver Guide · ES, EN

    Around twelve years in Costa Rican tourism. On the drive between Guanacaste and Arenal he points out how fast the landscape and climate change, and shares the history of both regions along the way. His picks: the Palo Verde boat safari and Rincón de la Vieja's Pailas trail.

  • Kevin Arias, Naturalist Guide at Puma Expeditions

    Kevin Arias

    Naturalist Guide · ES, EN

    Twenty years guiding Costa Rica as a general and naturalist guide, with a special passion for botany: he points out plant adaptations, ecological relationships and the quiet work that trees, flowers and lianas do in the ecosystem. His favorite day is Palo Verde, where wildlife, tropical wetlands, cultural traditions and history meet — and the birdlife is spectacular.

    Ronny Bonilla

    Driver Guide · ES, EN

    Twenty-two years in tourism, from restaurants to tour sales to driving and guiding. Místico is his favorite trail: rich in wildlife, easy to walk, and full of the forest's secrets. On transfers north he loves the moment the dry Pacific crosses an invisible line into rainforest green.
