If your vacation lands you in a central, bustling spot like Tamarindo, you may decide you want to break away from the often-busy Playa Tamarindo to explore more of the coast. The Location Offers Access to Lots of Beaches Just remember, it’s best to wear clothing you don’t mind getting dirty. On this guided, equipment-provided tour, you get to explore the local beach communities (and by “explore,” we mean fly through muddy creeks and kick up some sand along the beaches) before stopping to snorkel in the clear waters of the Pacific Ocean. If you’re not afraid of getting a little muddy, there’s nothing quite like exploring the beaches and mountains while careening around on a 4-wheeler. The Terrain is Perfect for Adventurous ATVing And if you want to be guaranteed the chance to see sloths, jaguars, and monkeys, plan to spend a couple hours at Diamante Eco Adventure Park with the Animal Sanctuary Discovery Pass, which gives you the chance to visit one of the best wildlife education centers in the country. The Tamarindo Turtle Tour, available from October through March, gives you the rare opportunity to see black turtles (and sometimes leatherbacks!) nesting along Playa Minas. For instance, the Tamarindo Estuary Boat Tour gives you a chance to spot crocodiles lounging on the riverbanks or swimming through the waters. Even just strolling around town you’re likely to spot a few howler monkeys or iguanas lounging in the trees, but if you want a guarantee to see the fauna of the rainforest, there are tours to help you do that. There’s something thrilling about spotting wild animals in their natural environment, and with almost a third of Costa Rican land protected as national parks, preserves, and refuges, there are endless opportunities for spotting and watching some pretty sweet beasts. You Can Search for Sloths, Iguanas, Monkeys, and Sea Turtles
Iguana Surf will even manage a private transfer for your whole group from the nearby Liberia airport to Tamarindo, taking the stress away from driving or navigating the roads after your plane touches down.
#FAMILY SURF VACATIONS FREE#
When you purchase this package, you receive 7-night’s accommodation in a Deluxe Private Suite that sleeps up to seven people, fresh breakfast every morning, five surf lessons for every member of your group, including a surf trip to a nearby break, and enough free time to explore the city and nearby rainforests on other tours. For example, Iguana Surf’s Epic Surf Camp features pretty much everything you need to tackle the adventure as a group. While there are lots of shops set up to provide private, semi-private, and group surf lessons, your best bet for catering to the needs of the whole family is to sign up for a family surf vacation in Costa Rica. In Tamarindo, all you need is a swimsuit and rash guard to get started - the water is warm enough that you don’t need a wetsuit. Not to mention, the warm, tropical conditions make surfing a little more fun, especially for anyone who cringes at the idea of spending the day in cold water. In fact, Tamarindo itself is known as one of the best locations for beginners to learn to surf because of its easy, consistent waves and the forgiving sand found under the water. Yes, there are lots of places all over the world where you and your family can learn to surf, but you’re going to be hard-pressed to find a better spot to learn than the sandy-bottomed beaches along the Guanacaste Province in and around Tamarindo. Choosing a destination known for its eco-friendly practices and beautiful canopy of rainforests doesn’t hurt, either, which is exactly why you should consider a Costa Rica family vacation the next time you get the itch to travel. The trick, then, is to choose a destination that provides a little something for everyone - the beach for relaxing, adventurous activities for those who like getting active, and lower-key educational experiences for anyone who wants to learn more about the world around them.
This is especially true when there are big differences in age or interests between family members. If you’ve been a parent for, say, five minutes, you probably already know that keeping the whole group happy on a family vacation is no small task.
