Morning Waves and Surfing Dreams

As the sun rises over Tamarindo, the beach comes alive with the sound of crashing waves and the eager anticipation of surfers ready to embrace the ocean’s call. The morning is the perfect time to dive into the world of surfing, especially with the Tamarindo Surf Lessons available from 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM. This isn’t just any surf lesson; it’s a holistic journey into the heart of surfing, guided by certified instructors who understand the ocean’s rhythm as well as your aspirations.

Imagine starting your day with an electronic presentation that deepens your understanding of surfing concepts, followed by practical exercises on land. Once you’ve honed your skills, it’s time to hit the water and tackle the waves. The reviews speak for themselves:

“Totally worth it!! Surf skate and Surf package is amazing! - I’m a high level beginner and have had many lessons before but my surf skate and surf package with Leandro were the best surf lessons I’ve ever had. Honestly, don’t do the surf lessons on the beach. The theory and technique you learn here is invaluable and definitely worth it. Couldn’t recommend enough!! All the people at the surf shop were so knowledgeable and friendly too!!” (Reviewed on 2025-01-25)

With the sun warming your back and the waves inviting you to ride, there’s no better way to start your Tamarindo adventure.

Hiking Through Nature’s Masterpiece

After a morning of surfing, the adventure continues with a hike to the stunning La Leona Waterfall. Available from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, the La Leona Waterfall Hike offers an intimate exploration of Rincon de la Vieja’s secluded trails. This moderate 2-hour hike takes you alongside the blue waters of Rio Blanco, through stone canyons, caves, and small waterfalls.

The journey culminates at the entrance of a canyon leading to the breathtaking La Leona waterfall. Here, you can swim a short distance to the waterfall, where a stone beach awaits for photos and relaxation. The experience is enhanced by a professional local guide who shares insights into the area’s wildlife and history. As one review highlights:

“Amazing once in a lifetime experience - I can’t say enough about Noel and the tour we had! The trail and the waterfall are once in a lifetime experiences, but without Noel it wouldn’t have been the same. He was so personable, kind, patient and knowledgeable and he added way more to the tour than I could have imagined. High recommended and if you can request Noel do it!” (Reviewed on 2024-11-03)

With the sun high in the sky and the promise of a Costa Rican style lunch, this hike is a must-do for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike.

With the sun setting at 5:53 PM, there’s ample time to find a cozy spot on the beach and watch as the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant colors.
