Costa Rica Pacific Adventure

Overview
Itinerary
What’s Included
Not Included

Experience Costa Rica in a completely different way: surf tropical Pacific waves and paddle world-class whitewater in the same vacation — and even on the same day. This 8-day adventure combines the warm Pacific Ocean, tropical rivers, rainforest, wildlife and the incredible Manuel Antonio coastline. Start your morning running a Costa Rican river by kayak or raft, then finish the afternoon surfing warm Pacific waves and watching the sunset from the beach. Experienced kayakers can paddle the Savegre and Naranjo Rivers, while beginners, families and non-paddlers can experience the same rivers by raft. Surf sessions can be adapted for beginners or experienced surfers. The trip also includes time to explore Manuel Antonio National Park, enjoy its beaches and wildlife, and sail along the Pacific coast on a sunset catamaran. You don't have to choose between a surf vacation and a whitewater vacation. Do both. Surf the waves. Run the rivers. Explore the rainforest. Experience Pura Vida.
