I went to Costa Rica with my friends a couple of months ago it was more than what we asked for in a trip. Meg went above and beyond and created a very memorable trip for us. She was very responsive to our messages/calls and set us up with amazing tour guides. I cannot recommend Meg’s company enough. She was amazing and I miss Costa Rica everyday. Plan your trip with Meg right now !!
A friend recommended me to Costa Rica Surf Trip after taking lessons with Jairo in New York, and I’m so glad I chose them for my trip! This was my first trip abroad without parents and Meg was incredibly helpful. From what town to stay in to what time of year to book, Meg answered all my questions. She made the entire process stress-free and I was able to avoid having to do extensive research online. She set us up with amazing and budget-friendly excursions like a kayaking and snorkeling trip, an ATV tour through the rainforest, zip lining, and an impromptu trip to see turtles hatching! She was also able to set us up with transportation to the volcano and hot springs with a guided hike. Jairo is an incredible surf instructor and the results you have will speak for themselves! He gave detailed instruction that really helped me feel comfortable and confident as a surfer. He even took us to two new beaches throughout our stay to try more advanced waves. No matter how much I advance in surfing, I plan on booking more lessons with Jairo in the future. I still have so much to learn from him! Booking with Costa Rica Surf Trip was hands down the best decision I could have made. Both Meg and Jairo went out of their way to make me feel like family and have an amazing adventure!
Nicoya - Playa Sámara My surf trip to Costa Rica was the best one yet, nothing short of extraordinary. Costa Rica Surf Trip is the best in the business. Jairo, Meg and the entire staff are amazing. Beginning with transfer from the airport and accommodations, to lessons and history of the area, the experience was professional, stress-free and unforgettable. I was greeted with genuine warmth and enthusiasm the second I met with my driver, Eloi. The surf conditions were phenomenal. Each day brought new waves and new challenges, with a beach offering variable waves so all skill levels could have a great time. I felt safe and supported during my time in the water. Jairo is a consummate professional and absolute master of his craft. He was patient, highly skilled, and truly invested in helping me improve. He took the time to explain wave dynamics, paddling techniques, and positioning. All in a welcoming way that shows he cares about his passion. Outside of the surf sessions, the trip offered so much more than I expected. I was surrounded by vibrant wildlife, breathtaking ocean views and small town culture. The kind that makes you never want to leave. Monkeys, tropical birds, colorful fish and lizards of every size, were part of the everyday backdrop. The sunsets in Playa Sámara were amazing. The local meals and drinks were on another level. Fresh, flavorful, and authentically Costa Rican. After a long day riding waves, sitting down for a delicious dinner was the perfect way to cap an evening. Perhaps the most impressive part of the trip was the balance it struck between adventure and relaxation. Mornings were filled with surfing and learning new skills, afternoons with exploring or simply unwinding on the beach. Every moment felt like it was designed to help relax and reset the mind. The staff’s knowledge of local culture and surf spots added a personal touch that made the experience feel truly special. If you’re dreaming about the ultimate surf vacation, Costa Rica Surf Trip delivers on every level. This trip combined expert instruction, stunning scenery, incredible hospitality, and pure fun. I left with more confidence on the board, unforgettable memories, and a deep appreciation for the pura vida lifestyle. Five stars doesn’t even feel like enough—this was an experience I’ll treasure forever! Pura Vida - Luke
