Tour Itinerary


Day 1

Fly into San Jose and catch a one way flight to Tamarindo. Meet your tour coordinators @ the airport and take a bus to the hostel to drop of your bags. Then its time to start the party. Join your tour coordinator for welcome dinner and drinks.

Day 2
- Tamarindo
If you are uninterested in chilling at the beach for hours on end, there is more than enough to stasify: surfing, snorkeling, diving, boating, fishing, kayaking, biking, you name it.

Day 3
- Tamarindo
Party, party, party! But time for a new beach: Surfers should check out Playa Negra, non-surfers Playa Lagartillo.

Day 4
- Monteverde
Leave early to Monteverde for an exhilarting break from the surf & sea. It is quite the drive, so catch up on all the zzzs you have been missing. If we arrive early enough, we will get to do the supercool canopy, zip line tour. If not, there's time enough the next morning, and plenty else to do.

Day 5
- Monteverde
Relax a while in Monteverde. There is tons to do, aside from the gorgeous hikes and canopy tours. After lunch, we leave to Jaco. It is another bit of a drive, but this time we make a pit stop in Orotino, for yummy fruit and leg stretching. Do not worry; there will be time enough to fire it up while the night is still young.

Day 6
- Jaco
Party, party, paaaarty on the beach!

Day 7
- Jaco
Looking for better waves? Take a daytrip to the black sands of Playa Hermosa, where you can catch perfect hollows one after the other.

Day 8

Catch your flight home from San Jose
