Enjoy a tropical two-night stay at Samara beach, located on the Pacific coast of the Nicoya peninsula in the province of Guanacaste. Samara is a sunny beach, with perfect landscapes and the environment that surrounds it offers an ideal place to relax and have a good time

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Samara Beach: Let's explore the clear waters of Samara, home of the bottlenose and spotted dolphins. Also, this is a migratory route for humpback whales that are heading south during certain times of the year. Discover the underwater sea life with snorkelling gear.

Day 1: ARRIVAL SAN JOSE – SAMARA (220km – 4hrs)

After landing at Juan Santamaria Airport, a representative will meet and greet you before guiding you to the transport to your hotel. Arrive in Samara Beach, in the North Pacific Coast of Guanacaste Province (check-in around 3:00 pm), and enjoy free time at Samara and its surrounding environment offering you an ideal place to relax and have a good time. With its ideal location along the Pacific Ocean, Samara boasts countless aquatic and outdoor entertainment. Horseback riding, stand up paddle boarding, sport fishing, surfing, canopy tours, yoga and kayaking are just a few of the fun activities you can try out (own expense). 

Overnight in Samara.

Day 2: SAMARA (3hrs by boat)

Today, after a tasty breakfast at the hotel, you will go 2 to 10 miles offshore from Samara beach where one can feel the ocean breeze while gazing at the coastline scenery during our search for these playful animals. You could be lucky enough to see spotted dolphins, Central American Spinner dolphins, Common Bottlenose Dolphins, and Humpback whales (seasonal from August to November). Along the way back to the coast, we will anchor near the shores of Isla Chora, the delightful white-sand beach full of hermit crabs and iguanas. You can cool off in the clear blue sea while continuing your search for underwater life. Beneath the surface teems a lively, colourful world normally hidden from view. Snack some fruits before heading to shore and be dropped off back at your hotel. 

Overnight in Samara.

Day 3: SAMARA – DEPARTURE SAN JOSE (220km – 4hrs)

After one last breakfast, at the agreed time, pick-up at your hotel in Samara to transfer you to Juan Santamaria Airport Rica to continue your trip. 

Comfortable and light clothing is the most suitable for travelling. Sun protection, sunglasses, bathing suit, closed shoes, a hat or cap and mosquito repellent can be very useful during your stay.
