Surfing: Stretching 125 miles along Costa Rica’s northern Pacific coast, Guanacaste is a surfing hotspot.

Snuba: No diving certification needed! Snuba is a form of surface-supplied diving in which an underwater breathing system developed by Snuba International is used. The word Snuba is a portmanteau of “snorkel” and “scuba”. The swimmer uses swimfins, a diving mask, weights, and diving regulator as in scuba diving. The air, however, instead of coming from tanks strapped to the diver’s back, comes through a long hose from tanks on pontoon rafts on the surface.
Sport Fishing: Playa Tamarindo offers fishermen one of the top locations for deep sea fishing in Costa Rica and all of Central America. The highly active and easy to reach fishing grounds offer great year-round action with Wahoo, Sailfish, Tuna, Dorado, Marlin, Roosterfish, Snapper, Grouper and more.
For a surfing adventure in the Guanacaste region, the cities of Tamarindo, Playa Naranjo, Playa Negra and Playa Nosara are some great places to visit, while if you are into snorkeling and diving, Playas del Coco, Playa Ocotal and Playa Guiones are the best. With so much to see and do, it is of little surprise that Guanacaste is now fast becoming Costa Rica’s hottest tourist destination.
