Amazing waves, surfing in boardies and bikinis on stunning tropical beaches, jungle wildlife, delicious food .. our Costa Rica road trip is an adventure you will remember forever!

Our 10 day surf road trip takes us from Tamarindo in Northern Guanacaste on the Pacific Coast, down to Nosara on the Nicoya Peninsula, and then further South to Santa Teresa. Its an adventurous journey with rugged and beautiful scenery, beach driving, river crossings and incredible surfing. With our team of experienced guides and coaches we will ensure you are are surfing the right waves for you every day.

After a 4 hr transfer from San Jose we will reach our first destination, Tamarindo, our home for 3 nights. We will be surfing the breaks right on our doorstep as well as driving to nearby beaches such as Playa Avellanas or Playa Negra. Other activities in Tamarindo include Yoga, watching the giant leatherback turtles in Las Baulas National Park, day spas, horse riding and of course sunset watching!

On Day 4 we will head South 4 hrs to the relaxed beach community of Nosara on the Nicoya Peninsula. Here we will spend two days surfing the local breaks .. keen Yogis might want to visit the Nosara Yoga Institute.

Day 6 will take us on an adventurous and scenic drive even further south to the sleepy beach town of Santa Teresa. River crossings a plenty and lots of opportunities to stop and check different breaks. Its another 4 hr drive and with a few stops en route we expect to make it to Santa Teresa in time for a sunset surf!

Our last 4 days in Santa Teresa will be packed full of surfing and if you need a break from the waves for a day or an afternoon we can take a hike to the local waterfalls, take a canopy tour of the rainforest, take an SUP or quad bike tour, or you can choose to chill out by the pool at the hotel, do some Yoga or have a massage...

We have hand picked our three accommodations to provide us with a great surf base in each location, always within a short walk of the waves! Each has a pool and is close to lots of great cafes, restaurants and beach bars to soak up some Costa Rican beach life.

At Surf Sistas we pride ourselves on our coaching, all of our coaches are ISA or GB Surfing qualified and all friendly, encouraging and experienced. We are committed to helping you to progress with your surfing every time you join us for a trip and we want you to leave us fully motivated with plenty to work on until we see you again.

We will be taking you to experience different breaks each day according to our journey, the conditions and your ability level. From dawn to dusk you can surf as little or as much as you wish!

We love beginners and this is the perfect place to learn with warm water and sandy beach breaks for a soft landing! You will learn the basics of surfing, how to position yourself on the board, catch waves and pop up, and importantly how to stay safe in the water. By the end of the week we will be concentrating on your paddling, how to catch green waves, and turning.

Improvers will benefit from coaching that helps you to really take your surfing to the next level - gaining confidence in paddling out the back, consistently riding green waves, turning and trimming along the wave, turtle rolling or duck diving and refining any bad habits. We will use video analysis to help you to identify the key areas you need to work on.

Experienced surfers will enjoy an introduction to many different breaks along the Nicoya coastline, benefiting from our coaches' local knowledge, always in the right spot at the right time for your ability and the conditions. Our coaches will work with you 1:1 , particularly using video analysis to help you to work on specific aspects of your surfing.

Bring your own surfboard or use one of ours for the week. If you know what kind of board you want to ride then let us know in advance and we will make sure we have the the right board for you when you arrive. We will choose appropriate boards for beginners.
