Morning Waves and Sunlit Sands

As the sun rises over Tamarindo, the beach comes alive with the promise of adventure. The early morning hours, with temperatures hovering around a comfortable 70°F, are perfect for catching your first wave. Join local surf instructor Kevin for a two-hour lesson that promises to get you standing on your board by the end of the session. Surf with Kevin is not just about learning to surf; it’s about embracing the Pura Vida lifestyle that Costa Rica is famous for. Kevin’s passion for surfing is infectious, and his patient instruction ensures that even the most hesitant beginners find their sea legs.

“Great, patient instructor - Kevin is great - patient, great instruction. All the teens stood up on day one, and have since continued to surf on their own. Go Kevin!” - Reviewed on 2024-07-10

With the sun climbing higher, the UV index peaks at 8, so remember to slather on that sunscreen and wear a rash guard. The clear skies and excellent visibility make it a perfect day to explore the coastline, whether you’re riding the waves or simply soaking up the sun on the golden sands.

Afternoon Adventures and Hidden Beaches

As the day warms up to a balmy 84°F, it’s time to trade your surfboard for an ATV and explore the hidden gems of Tamarindo’s coastline. The ATV Adventure offers a thrilling ride through secluded beaches and lush landscapes, accessible only by ATV or UTV. This adventure is perfect for those looking to add a bit of adrenaline to their sun-soaked weekend.

The tour includes a 30-minute Banana Boat ride around Conchal Beach, where you can enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze and, if conditions allow, some snorkeling. The guides are knowledgeable and ensure a safe, enjoyable experience for all participants.

“Beautiful rides - Our driver Alex was friendly and knowledgeable of the flora in the area. We stopped and learned about a few plants from the region. 506 offered bandanas, which you definitely need for the buggy or ATV tours, it can get dusty! We stopped at a few beaches along the way. Minus beach was the most breathtaking part of the tour.” - Reviewed on 2024-05-29
