You'll travel to three of the best places in Costa Rica to ride the waves on this 11-day trip. Start in Jacó, one of the most renowned surf spots in Costa Rica. Then, head to Playa Santa Teresa, home to major surf competitions and some of the most consistent waves in the country. End the adventure in Playa Tamarindo for surf days that end with glorious Pacific Coast sunsets. You'll also have time to relax on the beach and explore the country's vast wildlife.

Costa Rica is an absolute paradise for outdoor adventure lovers. This includes families, because many adventure sports and outdoor activities in Costa Rica aren’t too “extreme,” making them suitable for slightly older kids, tweens and teens.

These adults-only beachfront properties in Costa Rica mean you can indulge in poolside cocktails, sunrise yoga on the beach, and open-air massages without a noisy little one in sight (or earshot).

Get ready for a laid-back beach vacation to the stunning beaches of Guanacaste and the Nicoya Península. This slow-paced trip allows you to slow down and adjust to the Costa Rican lifestyle of pura vida in three quintessential surf towns: Tamarindo, Nosara, and Santa Teresa.
