Costa Rica Surf Trip Difference

Costa Rica Surf Trip is not a cookie cutter, one size fits all company; we believe PEOPLE & NATURE matter.

Costa Rica Surf Trip: Inspiration, Process, Purpose, Mission & Values
Locals Know Best.
The first thing you need when visiting somewhere are trusted local friends who know the best places to go, ways to get around, food to eat, places to stay, things to do, and - of course - the knowledge of the ocean and area to ensure you have the best waves to ride! WE are those local friends. Our business was built to provide the value of those trusted local friends you've always wanted, who are never going to steer you wrong or let you down.
Our Process
We don't "push itineraries," we ask questions. We get to know our guests: what you like, what you need, what you value, what your budget is, and what your interests are. Every experience we offer (and every change we make) is done based on listening to our customers and making small tweaks to consistently improve and continue to offer you the best possible experience. This is how we have achieved 5 stars from our guests for over a decade.
Our Purpose
Our goal as a travel agency is to get you the EXACT experience you've been dreaming of, based on your YOUnique needs, interests and budget, all the while allowing you to fully immerse yourself and melt into the breathtaking beauty of our country and keeping you safe throughout your travels. For our surf-guests: we meet you where you are on your surfing journey, and help you level up in the short time we have together, whether that's a single lesson, a surf camp, or a custom trip.
We know how to make the best of Costa Rica work for YOU, because we LIVE it.
Our Mission
We are extremely proud to be Costa Rican and to have the opportunity to share our country and culture with guests from around the world who are looking for more than cookie cutter offers, Facebook keyboard warriors, and AI slop itineraries. With us, you get the truly local experience, personal and human care, and a specialty in surf that no other travel agency offers. Every trip you take with us supports local individuals, families, and businesses to sustain our local communities throughout Costa Rica with a tourism whose "sustainability" pillars go beyond just reducing emissions and caring about nature. We promote our culture, the trust of locals, the wisdom of indigenous people, the protection of wildlife, the conservation of habitats, and the respect for people and the planet we all share through epic travel and surf experiences led by locals.
100% Costa Rican Owned & Operated
In order to complete our mission, we have committed to sustainability, not only through our services and offerings but also with our team. We are 50% native-owned, 50% woman-owned and 100% Costa Rican Owned. We are operated by our 100% Costa Rican team of local experts who we consider part of our family (some of them even are)!
