Tamarindo is a prime spot for surfing and sportfishing, diving and sunning. Nesting leatherback turtles do their thing along the beaches from October to May and, for some nesting of your own, gorgeous beach houses, B&Bs and luxury hotels line the sunny sands. Shopping and dining options are superb and plentiful, perfect for sampling the true flavors of Costa Rica.

This is an all day excursion-but so worth it, the rainforest walk was really cool lots of animals, volcano viewing. Meals were great! Relax at the hot springs. Jose and Juan were excellent!

The pool training was first class giving great confidence for the following day out in the open water. Risky, yes that's the name of our instructor!, was anything but that - very professional and super patient when needed. The open water dive was hampered slightly by the weather but still managed to see an amazing array of marine life including white tip reef shark, moray eel and most spectacular and graceful manta ray - truly awesome! Risky was brilliant with my partner who was diving for the very first time, it made her experience being able to relax and enjoy the dive knowing she was in safe hands. Thank you to Risky, the Captain and crew

I actually went to two tours (also did Rio Tempisque) with Native's Way. Our guide Gustavo was friendly and very informative, telling us about the plants birds, and of course about the wonderful volcano fumaroles, mud puddles, etc. Gustavo was a good driver, and accommodated our need to have occasional bathroom or snack stops. One suggestion to Native Way would be to be a little more clear about what to bring along; we did not need a change of clothes after the hot spring dip, as there were changing room. I would definitely book again with these folks next time I vacation in Tamarindo.

I spent a week with this hostel's surf camp this November and it was the best way to begin my costa rica travel! The staff are so friendly and helpful! Santiago was my instructor while I was there- he is super lovely and really cares that you enjoy your time with the waves! I got frustrated with myself but he always showed us how to slow down and take it all in so that we made memories of a lifetime! If you want to begin surfing, go see Santiago and his crew in Tamarindo! ????❤
