Water Sports

Surfing 
• 
Have you always wanted to try surfing? Warm water, soft waves, and no rocks make Tamarindo a great place to learn. We have a beach break with a sand bottom which is ideal for beginners and suitable for all levels all year round. Our lessons last one and a half hours to two hours and include an introductory on-beach instruction where we teach the fundamentals of the sport, as well as safety and etiquette.

Stand up paddleboarding 
• 
Looking for a little more stability on your board? How about stand up paddleboarding also called SUP! This is a really nice sport that uses almost all of your body muscles to move forward while standing on the board. We offer SUP flat water, SUP surf lessons, SUP tours, and you can even combine your experience with snorkeling and even yoga classes on a stand-up paddleboard! 

Kayaking 
• 
Do you prefer sitting while paddling? Then we suggest that you rent a Kayak to explore the waters in front of the famous Tamarindo beach. We also offer tours to explore the island or the estuary with a kayak or a kayak tour to the island.

See below for our wide variety of lessons & tours for everyone – from beginners to experts!
