Day 7.
Tamarindo Surf School (BF).
On the coastline of the Guanacaste peninsula, there
are probably a few waves with your name on it, and
the Tamarindo School of Surf will teach you to ride
them with just one lesson.
Tamarindo Surf School is the first of
its kind in Costa Rica. Their unique teaching method
is based on experience and knowledge acquired over
years of study and surfing. This is a friends and
family activity for all ages. All of their surf instructors
are Ticos (local Costa Ricans). This means your surf
lesson will not only be conducted by an experienced
surf instructor who knows the local breaks, but by
one who will also give you some exposure to the Costa
Rican culture.
An open tour to bring your friends or
meet new friends from other parts of the world. Starts
at 1:30pm
Silently glide along Costa Rica’s
golden coast while passing some of Guanacaste’s
exotic bays, white sand beaches and tropical jungles.
Gaze off the bow with a cold tropical drink prepared
and served by our crew as you scan the seas for dolphins,
sea turtles, flying fish or even a breaching whale.
We will make a stop at a tranquil bay,
drop anchor and frolic in the ocean. You can snorkel
in the bay or run down the deserted white sand beach
while the crew prepares a feast of chicken or pasta
salad, fruit, chips, guacamole and homemade chocolate
chip cookies. At sunset, the Marlin Del Rey catamarans
will set sail again and you will hear the waves slide
along the giant catamaran as you watch the sun set,
illuminating the clouds still in the sky. Bring your
camera and capture the moment everyone talks about
when on board the Marlin Del Rey catamarans.
