If you’re looking for a beach break in a Costa Rican paradise, this four day Chimu Excursion to Tamarindo is for you. Tamarindo is a popular surf destination, made famous by the 1994 surfing movie ‘Endless Summer II’. The area has three beautiful golden sandy beaches, plenty of water activities, a relaxed vibe and great foodie scene thanks to plenty of fantastic restaurants. You will have plenty of time to relax with two whole free days to take your pick of the activities on offer or to sit back on the beach. Your tour will end in Manuel Antonio after taking a jungle crocodile safari on the Tarcoles River. There, you might just find yourself smiling at a Costa Rican Crocodile among other wildlife.
On this all-encompassing personalised itinerary, Chimu will provide travel logistics for your travel party for the duration of your journey, plus expert guides for all the major sightseeing as per itinerary. Each night you will stay in superior accommodation, handpicked by our experienced team for their creature comforts, convenient locations, and impeccable service.
You will arrive in Tamarindo, a popular surf destination on Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline. Tourists flock to surf the waves of Tamarindo’s golden sandy beaches. Close to the town is Playa Tamarindo, while further afield you can discover Playa Langosta and Playa Grande. There are a number of water activities available in Playa Tamarindo, such as SUP, fishing and snorkelling while in town you can wander the local markets or dine at one of the many fantastic restaurants.
Today is a free day to relax and enjoy the surf, sand and sunshine of Tamarindo. You can choose to take a walk along the soft, golden sandy beach of Playa Tamarindo, enlist in a surfing class or even go horseback riding. It’s up to you. Whatever you choose, you are sure to enjoy all that this tropical destination has to offer.
Perhaps use this free day in Tamarindo to explore a little further afield? Situated in Las Baulas National Marine Park, Playa Grande is a major nesting site for leatherback turtles and in Tamarindo you might choose to book a half day tour to see the turtles and visit the national park. Alternatively, head to Playa Langosta. There is a jungle walk to the beach and it’s a little bit quieter than Playa Tamarindo, especially if you are an experienced surfer looking for a wave in a quieter spot.
From Tamarindo you will journey to Manuel Antonio, stopping enroute at the Tarcoles River. There you will enjoy a jungle crocodile safari and get the chance to get up close to an American Crocodile. In addition to smiling at a Costa Rican apex predator, you may also spot exotic birds, iguanas, lizards, snakes, raccoons, monkeys and anteaters who also call the Tarcoles River their home. Your tour will end in Manuel Antonio, home to Manuel Antonio National Park, one of the most popular national parks in Costa Rica.
