Detailed Itinerary
San Jose / Liberia
Day 1: Bienvenidos a Costa Rica
Welcome to Costa Rica! Depending on your arrival time and airport, you will either spend the evening in San Jose or Liberia, or head directly to Nicoya.
Puerto Carrillo - Playa Samara
Day 2: Discover the magic of sea turtles
If you spent the night in the city last night, you'll be on your way early today for the beautiful Nicoya Peninsula. The drive will be spectacular, taking you across scenic forested mountains and along the sparkling coast to the beach of Puerto Carrillo.
Upon arrival, check into your hotel and spend the afternoon at leisure, exploring the town and visiting the beach. After dark, embark on your first guided nature tour to learn about sea turtles. If you're lucky, you may get to see female turtles making their way up the beach to lay their eggs in the sand.

Day 3: Ride the waves
After breakfast, get ready to practice your surf technique with the help of an experienced instructor, who will explain the fundamentals of surfing and how to stay safe on the water. Dive in for your first taste of the warm waters of the Pacific Ocean, then spend the rest of the day at leisure, relaxing on the beach or back at your hotel. Later in the evening, you'll have another chance to join a local expert in search of sea turtles.

In the morning you'll enjoy a guided yoga class on the beach, before spending a full day immersed in Costa Rica's tropical beauty.
