Your retreat would not be complete without some adventure!   We have included one half day tour in our Five Night and Seven Night packages.  We can also help arrange any of the below tours for you either as part of a package or by itself.

Half Day Tours

Horseback Riding to Nauyaca Waterfall  –  The tour is over a 12 kilometer route with three resting periods, departing from our office, passing by Don Lulo's house, where you will have a delicious and typical Costa Rican breakfast. The horseback riding tour takes approximately from 45 minutes to one hour up to "Don Lulo's house". After breakfast and observing animals in the family's mini-zoo, the ride continues on for 25 minutes until arriving at the waterfalls. You may swim in the natural pools the waterfalls have formed. On the way back we stop once again at "Don Lulo's house" to enjoy a delicious and also typical Costa Rican lunch. After a well-earned rest on the hammocks and a delicious cup of coffee, we begin the return trip to our starting point.

Canopy Tour at Hacienda Barú National Wildlife Refuge  –  This tour imitates the flight of the chestnut-mandibled toucan, as it leaps off a branch, swoops down through the forest and then up in to another tree. On this 2-3 hour tour, 8 separate cable rides take you from one ridge top to another, across valleys and streams. There are 14 land based platforms and 1 tree platform with a view of the coast. You will have 2 guides on this tour one of whom speaks fluent English. This is a great way to see and learn about the forest and have lots of fun at the same time. Limit 12 participants.

Surf Lessons  -  In Playa Dominical the water temperature is around 78 degrees year round. Our instructors will show you the basics of reading the ocean, how to stand up properly, and how to ride the wave. They know where all the secret spots are, and take you where it's going to be best each day, at the right time of day. It is required that all participants have some basic swimming abilities.

Full Day Tours

Whitewater Rafting  -  Costa Rica is one of the best places in the world for rafting. The rainforests form heavenly rivers that are excellent for this sport. We choose rivers without dams for a natural ride. The rivers' spectacular scenic beauty and tranquility combined with emotions and adrenaline makes it the perfect balance for a pleasant descent. Along the river we will make a stop where you will have lunch and a chance to enjoy the beauty of the canyon. This tour is a full day, 6-10 hours depending on the river.

Snorkel Tour to Caño Island  –  Caño has been a protected reserve since 1976. It is 805 acres and 10 square miles of its surrounding waters is home to hundreds of different reef fish. Underwater you may see manta, devil, eagle and southern sting rays, turtles, and white tip reef sharks. From the surface you will see whales, dolphins, and some of the most spectacular scenery in all of Costa Rica. This full day tour, 8 hours, includes lunch and is limited to 12 passengers. Certified guests are able to scuba dive for an additional fee of $50. With scuba divers, the tour is limited to 8 passengers to make room for the additional gear required.
