Regardless of whether you choose the Sunset Beachfront Room or the Poolside Lagoon Room, the itinerary remains completely the same. Read more about room options below, and when booking, choose your preferred one.
Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort
Your base for the Costa Rica Surf Trip is the 4-star Tamarindo Diria Beach Resort! This is one of Costa Rica’s most iconic beachfront resorts, located right in the heart of Playa Tamarindo! It’s the perfect base for exploring the vibrant beach town life with all its restaurants, bars, and shopping, while also offering relaxation in oceanfront gardens or on a white sand beach.
There are two accommodation options for your week in Costa Rica — either the Sunset Beachfront Room or the Poolside Lagoon Room.
The price of the trip is per person, based on double occupancy, but you can also choose a triple or a quadruple room (in that case, there’s a discounted rate), and a single supplement is also available.
Sunset Beachfront Room
Located directly on the beach, this room offers unparalleled views! The beachfront area has a sunset oceanview pool, a kids pool, and plenty of lounge chairs under the shade of palm trees. A private balcony with a view of the Pacific is likely the best part of your room! A maximum of 4 people can stay at the Sunset Beachfront Room.
Poolside Lagoon Room
This lovely room has a view of either the lagoon-shaped pool or of a lush garden. This is the option that allows the best bang for your buck! A maximum of 4 people can stay here, and you’re just steps away from both the adults-only and exotic lagoon pool.
The best thing about this Costa Rica Surf Week is that it’s perfect for everyone! From the ages of 7 to 77, everyone is welcome. This trip is family friendly, all that’s required is a basic level of fitness, but classes are built for beginners and above.
Escape the winter blues with a sun-kissed retreat to Costa Rica’s tropical paradise! The Pacific coastline shines brightest from December through April, making it the prime time to join our surf week in Costa Rica. The best thing about this adventure is that it’s totally customizable— pick your preferred accommodation, get personalized surf lessons, choose your ideal day excursion, and it’s even possible to add daily yoga sessions! It’s perfect for both total beginners as well as more advanced surfers, but keep in mind that this will be so much more than your typical surf lessons. As a local Costa Rican, I’m excited to show you our culture, suggest top-notch cocktails, and take you to the finest beaches. This will be a week to remember!
I had such an amazing experience! Jairo and Meg made me feel so welcome from the moment I got there. They went above and beyond to provide everything I needed to make it perfect. Jairo’s surf training was so helpful and Meg’s planning and insight made everything so organized and easy. It was the perfect balance between fun, exciting activities and relaxation.
Our Costa Rica surf trip was a blast! Meg and Jairo were terrific and took care of all the fine details to make our trip special and specific to our liking. There were 3 of us traveling together, all with different interests, and Meg and Jairo made it all work. The accommodations were perfect, food was great, and people all around were kind and courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and Costa Rica and the Costa Rica Surf Trip team! Pura Vida!
If you’d like to stay in the Sunset Beachfront Room, book this option upon checkout. The itinerary and inclusions remain the same regardless of which room type you choose.
This winter, you can trade dreary winter days for a tropical paradise that is Costa Rica! Experience the Pacific coastline at its peak between December and April with our customizable surf week. Whether you're a novice seeking surf lessons or a seasoned pro looking for new challenges, this adventure caters to all levels.

Get ready for a week of unforgettable moments in paradise!

Costa Rica surf school gives an unparalleled experience in both learning the basics and progressing with your form. Our family of six ranged in experience age from 26 to 60. Each of us got up thanks to the patient instruction from people who truly wanted us to succeed. This is a small local business that deserves your support.

I’ve been home for a week from surf camp with CR Surf Trip and I’m still on cloud nine. Every single detail of the trip was perfect, thanks to Meg and Jairo. The surf camp package is entirely customizable based on your preferences – you could have non-stop adventures, beach lounging, or anything in between. I’d book any package they offer without hesitation, and building your own trip with their invaluable assistance will ensure you get *exactly* the trip you’re dreaming of, whether you surf or not. The resources and relationships they have at their fingertips, and the lengths they’ll go to for you, will astound you. I can’t recommend surf camp and coaching highly enough – Jairo is a truly gifted athlete and an even better instructor. Everyone can benefit from time in the water with him, whether you’ve surfed your whole life or want to try it for the first time. I’m already planning a return trip to Costa Rica, hopefully the second of many, and wouldn’t dream of traveling with anyone else.
I had the best trip!!! I booked my honeymoon through them and it was definitely my favorite vacation so far. Costa Rica is a magical place that is a must visit. Book your surf trip and enjoy!!!!

Indeed you can! Upon checkout, you can add the yoga package to your booking—there are 6 classes in total, and it’s a terrific thing to add to surfing.

The best thing about this Costa Rica Surf Week is that it’s perfect for everyone! From the ages of 7 to 77, everyone is welcome. This trip is family friendly, all that’s required is a basic level of fitness, but classes are built for beginners and above.

To get to your Costa Rica Surf Week, it’s best to fly into Liberia International Airport (LIR). If you fly into that airport, transfers to and from your accommodation are included. You’ll then meet your team at around 6 pm for a welcome meeting (the exact time will be determined by your guides later on).
Anyone choosing to fly into/out of Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) will be responsible for additional transport costs and should plan to arrive at least one day early.
We highly recommend that you cover all your bases with both medical and travel protection. To make your booking and traveling experience as carefree as possible, simply choose Redpoint—the official 57hours insurance partner!

Regarding water in Costa Rica, it’s generally considered safe to drink tap water. However, since not all locations have drinking water, it’s always good to ask at check-in. If you notice more frequent bowel movements, before you blame the water, consider that Costa Rican food is also much cleaner (less hormones, less preservatives, fresher ingredients) than in many places where people visit us from. Many people notice their stomach actually regulates better in Costa Rica! If you get sick in Costa Rica, revert to bottled water and seek medical attention to determine the root cause.
