Tamarindo Turtle Tour

A rare opportunity to watch huge sea turtles nesting!

Playa Minas constitutes one of the most important nesting sites in Costa Rica. Large numbers of turtles arrive from October until March and usually at night. Join us with our Tamarindo turtle tour and we will pick you up at the hotel and take you to Playa Las Minas where turtles are nesting. You will be able to see the black turtles and if you are lucky there will also be some of the very rare leatherback turtles.

The beautiful scene of the stars, the moon and the ocean makes the perfect set-up for this incredible experience with nature. In addition, the guides will provide infrared light, so that you will be able to clearly see the turtles and take your own pictures. Expect some waiting time during the Tamarindo turtle watching tour and be prepared to sit on the sand. To make sure you see the turtles it is sometime necessary to take a hike to a close by beach.

Our family of 5 had a great experience. All of us were able to stand up and surf, and we enjoyed it so much we rented boards from them the next day. We wanted to thank Luis, Grehel, Tasha, Piki, and Josy. From the intake, to the lessons, to the photo package that I recommend to have memories to take home with you. Safety was kept at the utmost importance, from their concern of my previously injured knee, to keeping a watchful eye on our youngest.

Great Surf Trip thanks to Iguana Surf I booked the the Ultimate Iguana Surf Camp package in December 2024. This includes 7 nights in a shared dorm, shuttle to/from the airport, 5 surf lessons, 1 surf trip, video/photos, and unlimited surfboard rentals for the duration of the week. Everything was well organized/coordinated via Whatsapp (thanks Oscar). The airport pickup was super easy and convenient. The hostel itself is well managed as is the surf shop. The instructors were all great, especially Luis. Every single member of the staff was super helpful with questions/recommendations. Tamarindo is a great place to learn to surf. Location is also super convenient, though, Tamarindo itself isn't too big. If you're looking for place to learn to surf, don't over think it, just book and enjoy. Pura Vida!
