One coach, one student, one of Costa Rica's most iconic surf beaches. This private lesson at Tamarindo meets you at your level, first wave or hundredth.
Warm water, consistent waves, and a coach who only has to watch you: Tamarindo is a good classroom. Your certified instructor works one-on-one with you on reading the wave, positioning, and getting to your feet without the scramble.
Because it is just you, the session bends to your level. If you have never stood on a board, the focus is safety and confidence. If you already surf, you drill technique at your own pace.
When your arms give out, lunch at a local restaurant in Tamarindo closes the day.
Final price depends on your pickup point.
We pick you up at your hotel or the airport and handle the full route, door to door.
Driving times are approximate.
One of them plans your day, picks you up and brings you back. Who exactly depends on the date.
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.
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.
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.
