  • Swap chilly days back home with Costa Rica’s warm climate! Come to Samara for a surf camp and spend a week in tropical paradise. Whether you’re a complete novice or you’ve already got some surfing experience under your belt, this surf camp is accommodating to all. You’ll stay at a lovely hotel, and every day have a mix of surf lessons, swimming, lounging on the beach, and optional activities. Samara is a small town that still has its traditional Costa Rican flare, and it’s the ideal base for a surf week!

    • Today is all about arriving in Costa Rica—once you land in the tropics, take off all those layers of winter clothes and get ready for a vacation in heaven! Pass immigration and get your passport stamp from Costa Rican authorities. There will be a shared shuttle from Liberia Airport at 3pm (included in the price). We’ll have a welcome meeting and talk about the days ahead! You’re welcome to join us for dinner every night—we’ll choose a different place each evening—or feel free to branch off on your own!

      Accommodation: Hotel Samara Beach

      Sunset, Playa Samara

    • We’ll have a similar schedule every day—we’ll get on with our surf lessons between 6am and 7am, have breakfast, chill on the beach, and again have surf lessons during the day. These lessons are tailored specifically to you, so rest assured, we cater to surfers of all skill levels! Lunches and dinners are not included in this surf week, but there’s plenty of options and we’re happy to give you recommendations.

      Also, we’ll do one activity of your choice, most likely on Day 4—though the itinerary is subject to change depending on tides and swells. Horseback riding, kayak & snorkel, waterfall nature walk, zipline tour, you can choose one of these activities upon checkout. Another great thing is that we can organize some other optional activities for you! Private yoga class, traditional massage, deep healing energy massage, sound healing, ATVs, cooking class, turtle nesting/release tour—it’s all possible, let us know upon booking if you’d like to do any of that!
