8 days in Tamarindo Itinerary

Surfing remains the main reason to take a trip to Tamarindo, as the beachside town is mostly known for its excellent waves.

Take a break from the city and head to Tamarindo Beach and Playa Avellana. Relax by the water at Samara Beach and Playa Guiones. Explore Tamarindo's surroundings by going to Room Escape Games (in Nosara), Hacienda El Viejo Wetlands (in Area de Conservacion Guanacaste) and Playa Conchal (Garra de Leon Golf Course & Playa Conchal). Spend the 24th (Fri) wandering through the wild on a nature and wildlife tour. There's still lots to do: take a tour by water with Boat Tours & Water Sports, stroll through Monkey Park, see Off-Road Tours, and wander the wide-open spaces of Pura Aventura.
