I had an outstanding experience surfing with Jiaro—truly some of the best teaching I’ve ever received. From the very beginning, the instructor created a welcoming and encouraging atmosphere that made it easy to relax. He clearly broke down each step in an easy-to-understand way and offered helpful, real-time feedback in the water making the surf experience comfortable. By the end of the session, I was not only confident on the board but also understanding the fundamentals of reading waves and positioning. It was an incredibly rewarding experience, and I left feeling energized and eager to get back out there. I would highly recommend this surf instruction to anyone looking to learn or improve—it's professional, supportive, and genuinely enjoyable.

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 !!

Costa Rica Surf Trip organized our entire trip, our accommodations, our activities, and our transportation in Costa Rica. Meg gave us multiple options based on our budget, and she provided us some awesome hotels. Her company created an itinerary with details of what to expect and what to bring with us. Plus, she also leads some of the tours/activities. Her business really emphasizes safety above all, which made me feel secure. Meg is extremely kind and friendly, as well as responsive. She is constantly on call, even if it’s the middle of the night, which was very reassuring as this was our first time traveling to Costa Rica. Thanks so much Meg for the amazing experience! It was a wonderful vacation!

My friends and I just returned home from our week long trip to Costa Rica. The Costa Rica Surf Trip team made it an easy and flawless experience from the beginning of the planning process, all the way to the moment we departed for home. The word “surf trip” is in the company’s title, but they are so much more than that. The team customized a perfect itinerary for our group of not-very-adventurous people. From relaxing in the hot springs next to Arenal Volcano, to sitting on the sunny beach in Samara, it was the trip of a lifetime! The highlight for me was seeing all the animals in their natural habitats - baby turtles, sloths, frogs, and much more. So cute! The whole team, including their expert local guides and friendly drivers, made it an incredible vacation for us. I can’t recommend CR Surf Trip enough to anyone who wants to visit Costa Rica.

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

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!

I was unsure if a Costa Rica trip was right for me. I wanted to gift a mother/daughter vacation to my 18 year old, but didn't know what CR had to offer and certainly didn't know if it was within my tight budget. I reached out to Costa Rica surf trips to inquire and from the very first exchange I felt comfortable. Meg asked me what my budget was for a trip, and told me she could help plan a trip around that budget. Wow, throughout the entire process of planning, Megs communication was incredible. She took care of every detail, allowing me to relax. even During the trip she communicated daily with us to make sure we were taken care of. I entrusted everything to her and she went above and beyond. Each excursion that she planned for us was with small, local businesses that she had established relationships with. Any time there was a modified plan, she would communicate thoroughly on exactly what/who/where to expect. And when we had questions she was accessible within minutes!! We ziplined, we took a mangrove tour, surf lessons, rainforest hike, snorkeling, horseback riding.... And still had ample time to have to ourselves on the beaches of CR, along with the resort pools!! This was MORE than we could've ever expected. We had no idea that an experience could be as rich and full as it was!! We cannot wait to plan our next trip. A trip of a lifetime!!!!!

She knows so much about… actually she knows so much about everything! It’s so incredible. You’d be with genuine, great people and that’s hard to come by! Two years ago: Where do I even begin? I’ll start with saying Meg is an angel sent from up above. She used her skills, knowledge and kind heart to help 20 of us in a really tough situation without expecting anything in return! She didn’t have to do any of this, but she saw people in distressed and helped us. We cannot wait to use her services in the future because she & her husband are gems and display PURA VIDA effortlessly.

We used this company for our “baby moon” and made lifelong memories. We alternated between morning yoga and surf lessons each morning, before breakfast and excursions. Meg and Jairo are the perfect hosts and we are planning on using this company again in the future. They personalized our experience to omit golf and hiking from our itinerary, and replaced those activities with massages, and “foodie” adventures. They kept the lines of communication open throughout the trip preparation, and they were at the airport to guide us to the correct transportation. If you are looking for adventure or just wanting to relax, this is who you want to use.

One of the best vacations of my life. Costa Rica Surf Trip went ABOVE AND BEYOND any expectations to make this a truly memorable, special, and unforgettable experience. The hotel was gorgeous and had a breathtaking view of the beach (flew in on Monday night with a friendly and welcoming driver ready to pick us up) with the best breakfast buffet I’ve ever experienced. From start to finish and last minute adjustments, the team was extremely accommodating and was focused on making this experience optimal from every minute detail. I’m thoroughly impressed by their dedication and professionalism despite some last minute hiccups on my part. The surf team is best in the business, learned some great insights that I’ll take to heart when I’m surfing waves back home. I would have never been to the beaches the expert team brought us to on my own. They even organized activities like Atv rides, jet skiing, horseback riding, scuba diving and a rainforest excursion - their local connections are deep and diverse which gave me the perfect blend of fun activities AND surfing. Never met a better team and I STRONGLY recommend using them in the future. Thank you for making this possible and giving me one of the best experiences of my life.

Beyond highly recommend!!! A dear friend who did a surf camp with Meg and Jairo several years ago referred us to CR Surf Trip. From the initial call through the planning stages of our trip, we really felt like Meg "got" us. She designed a trip that allowed us to see so much of the country. Their relationships with local, and often family owned, businesses from accommodations, transport, tours and even restaurants put us in good hands for the entire journey. And Meg is responsive (within minutes!) if anything comes up along the way. We could really relax and have fun, knowing Meg had everything taken care of. We are beginner surfers, and are so grateful for Jairo's instruction. We learned a lot and had a blast riding waves.

I actually came home different than when I left, a truly life changing experience. I had never travelled internationally before and was coming as a solo traveller so a bit apprehensive, but Costa Rica Surf trip made the entire process so easy. Before my trip they sent me all sorts of helpful information, including FAQs, packing lists, etc. My driver was waiting when I arrived. It was a private, air-conditioned transport that had plenty of room for myself, bags, and surfboard. I arrived to Samara and immediately had the most incredible view of the beach and ocean. Coming from NY, I could never have imagined such a serene, uncrowded beach with the most incredible waves. The accomodations were incredible. I had a nice large air conditioned room with a small kitchenette and everything I needed for my stay. The adjoining restaurant had the most amazing food and staff, so great in fact, I enjoyed all my meals here. I enjoyed getting to try the local fruits and the best coffee I've ever tasted. When I wasn't surfing I spent my days at the beach or staring at the beach from the restaurant and have never felt such contentment. Now for the surfing, that's what I came for right? The water was so warm and clear, and always waves. I only saw another surfer on one day and she was quite a ways away, I got to totally focus on my surfing and not navigating a crowded line up. My instructor, Jairo, is world class. He makes sure to cover all the basics with you and gives you a goal to work on for the day. He really takes the time to coach on each wave, letting you know what was good if it went well, and what you could work on or have done differently if it didn't go so well on that wave. He was so patient and if I didn't understand a concept right away, he'd find different ways to explain it so I did. I feel like he really adapted to my style of learning and was able to pick the perfect waves and time of day for my skill set. We did a video review session mid week and I could already see the progress from the beginning to mid-week. He really helped with my wave reading and knowing where to line up and when to paddle. He also gave me some paddling techniques that really helped. I've been surfing almost 2 years now and no one ever actually taught me 'how' to paddle. I felt like I was moving through the water so much quicker and easier after he showed me. I will be going home with a new found confidence I didn't have before I came. If you really want to increase your skills and take your surfing to a new level I can't reccomend Costa Rica Surf Trip enough. Meg was amazing in coordinating the whole trip from start to finish and stayed in touch the entire trip to make sure my accomodations were perfect, that I was getting to experience everything in Costa Rica I had dreamed of. She is so positive and inspiring and just has a way of reading people to know exactly what would make a dream trip for you. She provided maps of the area and great advice on local places, just an experience you can only get from travelling with a group that really knows the area so you can have the experience of a lifetime.

Meg and her team are awesome! The catamaran tour was incredible, the staff was friendly (poured a mean Margarita) and everything ended with a surprise visit from some Humpback whales! Highly recommend if you visit Tamarindo

Our Costa Rica surf trip was a blast! Meg and Jairo were terrific and took care of all the fine details to make our trip special and specific to our liking. There were 3 of us traveling together, all with different interests, and Meg and Jairo made it all work. The accommodations were perfect, food was great, and people all around were kind and courteous. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip and Costa Rica and the Costa Rica Surf Trip team! Pura Vida!

Golf Trip to Costa Rica courtesy of Costa Rica Surf Trip Costa Rica Surf Trip did a wonderful job putting together our trip! We spent the first week in Tamarindo Diria as part of their annual Surf, Yoga, Golf Retreat. We played golf at Hacienda Pinilla and Playa Conchal. They both were in great shape and presented a great test! Tamarindo Diria is a fine resort and serves as a good base for enjoying local cuisine and shopping. Can’t wait to return in the future! We will be calling Costa Rica surf trip to plan!

The owners are so friendly! I met one on the beach and she watched my board for me while I had to run to my hotel room. She was also super kind and respectful and happy with a local when she was buying fresh cut beach coconut water from them. Genuine knowledgeable people. Totally recommend.

I want to highly recommended Meg and the team. We have booked the trip planning with Meg. Everything was soo wonderful, the food , the activities and she even made a really amazing brochures PDF for us to track our activities. If u r at Costa Rica, the trip planning is really worth it, as the trips in here are all running my individual groups. The drivers too , so it would be a great idea to let someone book for you ! And Meg with her team is definitely the best choice !

I felt better eating that food than I have felt in years. Anyways… book your trip! We booked our honeymoon through them and everything was so perfect.

Meg and her team at Costa Rica Surf trip were without a doubt amazing. From start to finish our trip plans went smooth, and she was there every step of the way to make sure everything was perfect during our stay. Everything was completely catered to what we wanted to do, and on-the-fly advice and activities were easy to communicate at all times. I can’t stress this enough: communication! Meg was always available before and during our trip to make sure everything was to our liking. We weren’t sure where to stay in Costa Rica, but she knew exactly what places we we should be in order for us to get the most out of our trip for a large family group of 12! Need dinner recommendations? They’ve got em! Need fun activities? They’ll plan em! Places to stop during a long drive? They found em! If you’re looking to plan a trip to Costa Rica, look no further than Costa Rica surf trip!! Thank you Meg and team, we’ll see you again soon!

Oh my goodness where do I start! Our trip, hands down, was exceptional solely due to the help of Meg and her team at Costa Rica Surf Trip! This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we wanted the perfect mix of relaxation, beach, a little luxury, adventure, and culture...and we got all of that...plus some!! My partner and I knew next to nothing about Costa Rica going into the trip and Meg nailed it with suggesting locations, accommodations, restaurants, parks/tours...even a tattoo shop so we could forever be reminded of la Pura Vida! If you want the perfect experience, truly tailored to your preferences and travel style - both in advance and during your trip - Costa Rica Surf Trip is THE best there is. We are forever grateful and would hands down plan another trip with their support again :)

We didn't even surf on our trip, but the service, knowledge and flexibility went above and beyond any other company we have ever worked with (and we're no strangers to travelling). We had last minute flight change and they helped us with car rental, finding beach front accommodations and restaurant / brewery recommendations. They asked our needs and wants out of the trip and tailored exactly what we wanted from just a short conversation. The kids even approved!

I’ve been home for a week from surf camp with CR Surf Trip and I’m still on cloud nine. Every single detail of the trip was perfect, thanks to Meg and Jairo. The surf camp package is entirely customizable based on your preferences – you could have non-stop adventures, beach lounging, or anything in between. I’d book any package they offer without hesitation, and building your own trip with their invaluable assistance will ensure you get *exactly* the trip you’re dreaming of, whether you surf or not. The resources and relationships they have at their fingertips, and the lengths they’ll go to for you, will astound you. I can’t recommend surf camp and coaching highly enough – Jairo is a truly gifted athlete and an even better instructor. Everyone can benefit from time in the water with him, whether you’ve surfed your whole life or want to try it for the first time. I’m already planning a return trip to Costa Rica, hopefully the second of many, and wouldn’t dream of traveling with anyone else.

Upon arrival in the airport everything was smooth sailing and all our transportation and communication was clear! The hotel was super accommodating and every moment of the trip was seamless! The people of Sámara are very welcoming and have joy in everything they do and Meg, Jairo and the rest of Costa Rica surf trip enhanced our total experience!!

From day one Jairo and Meg made sure our daughter arrived safely and had a wonderful time. They made the trip very memorable for her and she loved it from the start. They made sure she had the best experience and learned a lot about surfing as well as made sure she had a lovely time during her excursions. My daughters returned home and could not stop talking about the wonderful time she had. I would not hesitate to send her on the trip again. Thank you, Jairo and Meg, for the wonderful time she had, and for giving us peace of mind while she was away.

I had the most wonderful week in Costa Rica thanks to Costa Rica Surf Trip! I was primarily there to learn how to surf and both the beach and instructors were amazing for first timers! I felt I learned good basic techniques (and even stood a whole bunch!) and felt confident taking this new hobby home with me. On top of learning something new, Meg was also able to arrange so many incredible actives for me and my group on top of the surf lessons (Sea Turtles laying eggs! Sloths! Dolphins!), while also making sure some weather difficulties didn't get in the way of our experience. Couldn't recommend Costa Rica Surf Trip more - this was definitely a trip I'll never forget!

What a trip!!! From the earliest planning stages here in NY up until our very last morning in Costa Rica, it was clear that Meg and Jairo were committed to our group having the very best experience that we possibly could have! They were so attentive to all of the needs of every member of our group, and proved to be both detail-oriented yet also flexible on the fly! Costa Rica is an easy place to love- the sand, sun, and surf are spectacular- but Meg and Jairo’s love of their local community made it a truly special experience… Samara quickly became a home away from home for us thanks to their careful planning, helpful information, and constant communication. And for that we will be back and most definitely working with Costa Rica Surf Trip again!!! You guys are just the BEST! 💛 Oh, and thanks to you, I’m hooked for life 🏄🏻‍♀️ 🤙

I was traveling to Tamarindo for a wedding with limited time away from the resort but Meg was able to give me a full list of everything the area had to offer and craft an itinerary that was exactly what I was looking for. She got us reservations at 2 amazing restaurants in town for dinners and set my friend and I up with massages at a fantastic spa. Our transportation to and from the resort was also seamless. Dining on the beach at sunset with monkeys up in the trees was such a highlight of the trip! The itinerary was timed perfectly for my needs but the assistance didn't stop there.

CR Surf Trip is amazing! They got back to us so quickly - even on a last minute trip and made time for us even in the busy season (between Christmas and New Years). Not only did we get an amazing surf lesson but they let is know about a bunch of great local spots and activities to fill the rest of our time here. Our instructor was patient and kind and even though we were rank beginners he got both my wife and I riding waves the first day. They knew exactly which beach to take us to at which time as beginners based on the time of year. It was clear they knew their stuff. I seriously cannot recommend these guys enough - we will certainly use them again when we come back to Costa Rica.

I would give Costa Rica Surf Trip 100 stars if google would let me! I last minute decided I wanted to go take a surf trip to CR, and I could not have asked for a better company to help me plan it. They are extremely knowIedgeable and give great recommendations for everything.. places to visit, activities, food, accommodations, transportation, you name it. Also, if you're like me and are terrible at planning, Meg was amazing with listening to what I was looking for, and coming up with an itinerary for me that incorporated everything I wanted to do, within my budget, and with activities perfectly scheduled/spread out so that I could enjoy them to the utmost without feeling exhausted. Plus they were very flexible and accommodating if I wanted to make any last minute changes during the trip itself. In terms of surfing, Meg and Jairo did a great job with planning out locations based on my skill level, and the coaching was amazing! Super patient and encouraging, so much fun, and upped my skills tremendously, even in just a short time. Bottom line, they truly have your best interest in mind and their ultimate goal is to make sure you're happy, having the best time, and getting exactly what you want (and more) out of your trip! Plus they're just great people to be around. Can't wait to travel with them again!

So grateful!💗 I came to Samara alone and had never spent time here before. I was not sure where anything was, what to do or where to go. Thankfully they gave me a map tailored to my needs in relation to where I was staying. They map included everything from where to go for fun, grocery stores, and specific places I had heard of. I would have been so lost and confused trying to figure everything out. I am so grateful for all the help and guidance I was given!

I tried my best to find the right surf lessons to review so if Sandro is around you know you've found the right one! He was great, taught me a little spanish and taught me a lot about surfing. I have terrible balance and I still managed to ride one wave that I feel counts, it was awesome to see Sandro get just as excited as I did.

Best Surf Vacation Ever! When we decided to go to Costa Rica we gave CRSF an idea of where we wanted to visit and what we were interested in doing and they did the rest! It was so nice to not have to spend hours researching places to stay or trying to figure out what tour to take. Every activity that CRSF planned for us was awesome. From our amazing stay in La Fortuna to our time on the coast in Playa Samara, every detail was covered. We went hiking, ziplining, repelling, kayaking, snorkeling, private yoga and I haven't even mentioned the best part...the SURF! We were personally escorted to 5 different surf spots for the best surf of our lives. All spots were within an hour of Samara so it was easy to get back and forth to our central location. We will be back and will definitely use CRSF on our future visits! Thanks again for everything!! Pura Vida!

Travelling by yourself with 2 kids can be intimidating, but Meg and Jairo made sure every minute of my trip I felt happy, entertained, and comfortable! Absolutely loved every adventure I went on, and it was so organized that I was actually able to take a few deep breaths and really relax and enjoy! Pura Vida, booking my next trip with them now!

Meg & Jairo are the best! Can’t say enough great things about our time with Jairo and Meg! Jairo taught our four tweens to surf, and after a few minutes of on-land teaching/tips under the shade of palm trees, he had them in the water and successfully up on their boards surfing in minutes. Both were extremely knowledgeable, fun, and engaging - can’t recommend them highly enough for kids and adults, alike. They also helped us arrange a memorable 1/2 day visit the Belen waterfalls at the best time of day (read: no crowds), and handled all transportation, food + notes on the best spots for swimming *and* ideal places to jump. In addition, we happened to mention wanting to go horseback riding and they helped us find a local outfitter and organized all the details for us. Meg is originally from upstate NY and Jairo is from Samara and a member of the Costa Rican national surf team. We became fast fiends and felt like family after only a few hours together. Highly recommend!

My clients left feeling refreshed and renewed from their most memorable retreat ever in CR. Meg's personal attention to every detail of planning the trip made it flawless and getting Jairo, a world class surf champ, lessons on a daily basis is second to none! I can't thank Meg and Jairo enough for all they've done to make it beyond a travelers expectations!!

What can I say about CR Surftrip? For my girlfriend and I, this has been the most memorable and adventurous out-of-state trip we've shared. Meg and her team truly "knocked it out of the park" when taking into consideration all of our interests and creating a vacation schedule that had everything from repelling down waterfalls to relaxing on the beautiful beaches of Samara. (With my personal favorite being the surf lesson set up by Meg and her team). If I had attempted to book a trip to Costa Rica on my own it would've fell tremendously short compared to the experience I had with CR Surftrip. If you're interested in exploring this beautiful gem of a Country, then CR Surftrip is a no brainer for all of your planning!

Best Trip EVER!!! All my husband and I can talk about since we got home is our trip to Costa Rica, and why did we wait so long to go?? We travel extensively, and this was one of the best vacation experiences we’ve ever had. If you are planning a trip, you MUST go through Meg and her company. She made planning our trip a breeze because she is so knowledgeable, conscientious and passionate about this country. Her level of professionalism is top notch, and I never anticipated that once we talked to her and outlined our interests that she would get back to us so expeditiously and with so many choices. In a matter of hours! We told her about our desire to stay in eco-lodges and activity level, and in short order she had a number of options for us. Meg will work with you on your price point for accommodations and you can go as upscale or laid-back as you prefer. We went to LaFortuna, Monteverde and ended our trip in Samara. Our transportation met us at the airport and we had transportation door-to-door throughout the trip. So easy! Meg is also connected to companies that provide incredibly knowledgable guides. We hiked the volcano area in La Fortuna, the Cloud Forest in Monteverde and hiked and kayaked/ snorkeled in Samara. A six hour bird hike in Monteverde with our guide Dulce ( and an excellent breakfast at Stellas included) was one of the highlights. And the dry forest hike in Samara with Bernie- who knew everything about birds, trees, plants- you name it-was amazing! We were awed by the bio- diversity this country offers, and visiting three different areas gave us a distinctly different flavor and appreciation of their uniqueness. Ending our vacation in Samara was so relaxing after lots of hiking and other fun activities( coffee plantation tour, zip lining) and we loved how quiet and non- touristy it was...a cute beach town with little shops and excellent local food. A great beach for walking or running! We never could have planned this trip on our own...Meg found the perfect places and activities and went above and beyond to ensure our satisfaction. She took the worry and frustration out of planning and the trip went smoothly from start to finish. We can’t wait to go back! Pura Vida!!

Planning our visit to Costa Rica through Costa Rica Surf Trip was the greatest decision! Meg and Jairo took the time to work with us prior to arrival to customize a unique experience for my friend and I. They listened to what we wanted to do (surf, explore, nightlife) and fully delivered. They set up beautiful accommodations for us, which we never would have found on our own, and gave great recommendations as far as restaurants and places to check out in town. New to surfing, my friend took lessons from Jairo and was able to get up for the first time. He's not only a patient instructor, but took us to the most beautiful beach away from the crowds for a really memorable day of surf. Their knowledge of CR really sets them apart. We trusted them with all our transportation needs which was a huge relief and totally worth it (do not bother renting your own car). They showed us hidden beaches and a gorgeous waterfall only true locals know the location of. The trip went beyond my expectations and I cannot say enough good things about working with CRSurfTrip! Meg and Jairo really made us feel welcome and I definitely look forward to working with them soon!

Had the absolute best time ever in Costa Rica. Special thanks to meg and Jairo at Costa Rica Surf Trip for making my getaway so much more than a tropical beach vacation. As a tourist unfamiliar with the land or what to do, I asked recommendations on everything which meg was always quick to respond, and even accompany us! As all travelers know, meals and excursions can add up quickly on vaca, but meg showed us how to spend colones and where and where not to find the best exchange rates. Since so many of the sights you’ll want to see are “off the grid” I definitely recommend having them take you around. Although cars are rentable, it seems like a waste of money and more of a hassle since everything you’ll want to do in the towns are accessible on foot. The excursions we went on definitely required an AWD truck and local knowledge since the dirt roads leading to the sights were unlabeled and rural. Having the transportation covered, allowed us to relax, kick back and just enjoy the trip as they took us to beautiful jaw dropping destinations one after the next! Can’t wait to come back...Pura Vida:)

WOW! What a trip! Meg organized our stay in Samara with excellent recommendations and arrangements for yoga, bird watching, kayaking and snorkeling, hiking to waterfalls and, of course, surfing. All the guides spoke excellent English which was very helpful to us. Jairo has over 25 years of surfing in Samara and around the world and knows the waves and how to teach his craft. I'm in my 70s and thanks to him, I got up on the board and really enjoyed surfing. We'll be back to CostaRicaSurfTrip.com

A trip of a lifetime! Meg and Jairo are the dream team for giving the true Costa Rican adventure to anyone. The level of hospitality is unmatched from anywhere I've ever been. Jairo is a talented and patient surfing instructor that makes learning enjoyable for even a first time surfer. Paddling out into the surf for the first time is a little daunting for someone not used to it, but knowing that you are with an amazing instructor that has decades of surfing experience alleviates any anxiety. There were several times of falling off of the board and getting frustrated, but Jairo was always there with encouragement to get on the board and try again. As an American living in the corn-belt I don't see an ocean much, but with the surf lessons I have confidence that I could jump back on a board and remember everything I learned after a couple of waves. Meg is a talented surfer herself, and knows some of the most beautiful beaches I have ever seen. Many of these beaches would be inaccessible by most vehicles and are offer an unspoiled view of paradise. Forget the American beaches dominated by high-rise condos and hotels, these Costa Rican beaches are completely undeveloped with only a few people on an entire stretch of sand. There is no stress or unwanted noise like most resort beaches. If you want true peace and tranquility these are the beaches to be. All you will hear is the soothing sound of the waves crashing in and the breeze rustling through the native vegetation lining the beaches. Sticking around for a sunset reveals the spectacular colors washing across the sky like a painting as the sun disappears below the horizon. I am by no means a talented photographer, but I took many pictures that are worthy of hanging on any wall. When the scenery is that beautiful it is impossible to take a bad picture. Samara is the main surf town where the hotels and restaurants are located. It is also the only place in the entire world that I have felt an actual connection with. I've stayed here a few times and have never been anything but completely amazed by how friendly the people are and the variety of things to experience. You can have everything from a burger and fries, to a completely authentic Costa Rican meal, to an upscale dining experience by candlelight on the beach. Meg is truly an expert at making sure that the entire trip will be something that will never be forgotten and will make you want to return as often as possible. Words can not explain how exceptional this trip was, and I would recommend it to absolutely anyone.

You can't beat teaming up with Meg, an international traveler by hobby and an architect by trade. Her travel and trip-planning experience along with her bilingual skills make her an ideal logistics and event planner in Costa Rica.

This is not just for beginners, but for intermediate and advanced surfers like myself, as well! Jairo took me to a break that produces overhead and double-overhead waves.

What a great trip Meg and Jairo planned for us during Christimas/New Years holiday week in 2016. We were a group of 16. They found us a great house with three apartments, a pool, outdoor grill and an onsite manager that looked after the place and us for the week. The daily activities were fun and the folks Meg and Jairo chose to work with us were terrific!. Each day was a new set of adventures- kayaking/snorkeling one morning, learning to surf in the afternoon, another day a two hour horseback riding in the forest, on the beach at Playa Buena Vista and up to the mountain with great views of Samara and Buena Vista. A zip line canopy tour and more surfing continued to compliment the shopping, eating, nightlife dancing and of course, New Year’s Eve on the beach at Playa Samara... the darkness masked the thousands of people having fun and waiting for the new year. As midnight arrived, dozens of lanterns were set afloat in the sky and small beach fires lit up the night to create a backlight for thousands of Ticos and travelers celebrating the new year together with music and dancing on the beach. Local bars and restaurants were hopping and CR Surf Trip gave us the best recommendations on food, drinks, sports bars for New Years Day football Bowl Games and more. Going back this February and sure to call Meg and Jairo.

My Husband and I booked a Costa Rican vacation in May with Costa Rica Surf Trip. I knew from the start we had picked the right company. Meg was completely flexible and committed to creating the trip that we wanted. We told her our price range, the itinerary we wanted and how we like to travel and she listened, as well as suggesting places and activities we might want to include. The result was a seamless, fun filled vacation with everything we wanted. We felt safe at all times, our rooms were clean and everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. Our drivers were always on time to take us to our next excursion in comfortable air conditioned vehicles. Costa Rican's seem to pride themselves on customer service. One of our most memorable experiences was our surf lesion with Costa RIca Surf Trip. Jairo was incredibly patient and encouraging throughout the lesson. We both managed to Surf for the first time!! Samara Beach is beautiful and perfect for first time surfers, and they were very safety conscious as well. We have already recommended Costa Rica Surf Trip to our friends and family and will rely on Meg and Jairo for our future trips Costa Rica!!!

Way better than Interbus!! My friend and I met with Meg and Jairo by chance in Tamarindo while looking for a way to leave the city and go to Santa Teresa. So happy we decided to go with CR surf trip instead of interbus cause we had an awesome trip, stopped to see scenic views and checked the waves at beaches on the way (san Miguel, samara...). We finally decided to surf at Playa Carmen and Jairo was so helpful giving us very great tips to improve our surfing!! I highly recommend! Thank you so much to these 2 very kind and generous persons.

CR Surftrip: Playa Samara Dec 28, 2016 through Jan 5, 2017 What a great extended family vacation In Playa Samara! Meg and Jairo took care of every detail from airport pickup for part of our group to drop off at the end of the trip. We went horseback riding on beaches, forests, hills and meadows- beautiful scenery and great ride leaders who took care of us. Our zip-lining trip was beautiful, fun and filled with laughter. The accommodations were clean modern, comfortable, close to everything and right in our budget. Meg and Jairo successfully managed our large group of 16 adults and teens, handling several restaurants and evening events including the annual Samara Rodeo, New Years Eve on the beach and at the clubs. Our kayaking excursion to Isla Chora was amazing, they took videos and photos of our snorkeling and beach fun and we had lunch in Congrejal with a family of monkeys playfully watching us from the nearby trees. On our relaxing day, Meg took us to a local river and waterfalls where we lounged, swam and the teens and adults had fun jumping and diving off of cliffs. And if all that wasn't enough, we all took part in three days of Meg and Jairo's specialty- SURFING! Yes the group all learned to surf. Even this 50 something Mama. With the CR surf trip instructors, we all had great fun and Jairo had me up and surfing on my first wave! Bucket list: Learn to surf... CHECK! I highly recommend the outstanding personalized service of Costa Rica SurfTrip. I am already planning my 2017 return to Playa Samara!

CR Surf Trip This is not just for the beginners, but for intermediate and advanced surfers like myself as well. Jairo took me to a break that produces over-head and double-overhead waves. I had a blast surfing a spot that I pretty much had all to myself. Something I wouldn't of been able to find without local knowledge. Definitely looking forward to planning more surf trips with them.

Great surfing lesson! I had an amazing time on my surf lesson with Meg! She's an enthusiastic and patient instructor. I highly recommend CR Surf Trip. They are down to Earth people looking to share their love of surfing with others.
