SURFING

With it’s consistent year round waves it’s no wonder why Playa Guiones has made a name for itself as a swell magnet. There are literally waves to be had 365 days of the year. Guiones has something to offer every type of surfer from beginner up to advanced. Even on big days Guiones doesn’t serve up the beat down you’d expect on hollower waves. Depending on tide Guiones can offer anything from mellow drop in’s mixed with long trimming walls to faster take offs with walled up hit the lip sections. Everyone can surf here stoked! Looking for something a bit juicer there’s a plethora of hollower waves to the north and south if you’re anything like us and up to get of the beaten path.

During the months of November through April you can expect hollowing off shore fun sized surf. From May to August expect swell size to increase as we start seeing more frequent south swells.

HORSEBACK RIDING

Experience the trails and beaches of Nosara from a horse. Nothing rings more pure and true than the feeling of the sunset glow hitting your face from a top on these gentle giants. Ride under the mango trees with Monkeys playing above, cruise past the river and maybe spot a croc tanning on the banks.

SPEARFISHING

The Nosara area offers world class spearfishing for intermediate to advanced divers. The inshore rock reefs are home to large Cubera Snappers, Amberjack, Blue Trevally and Sierra Mackerel. Off shore blue water diving offers chances to hunt Yellow Fin Tuna, Dorado and other Pelagic species. If you’re looking for a world class spearfishing adventure, the Nosara has everything you need.

WATERFALL HIKE

A short drive through Nosara village past a few soccer fields you”ll find our local gem of a waterfall, Malanoche. Pack a lunch and a couple cold Imperials for a nice afternoon. Remember to pack out your trash and ask a staff member for more specific directions.

STAND UP PADDLE BOARDING

Every year SUPing becomes more popular among visitors and locals here in Nosara. Paddle boarding is a great way to get a workout in while taking in the scenic vistas our area has to offers. Do a mellow paddle along the  Rio Montana and Rio Nosara through lush mangroves, great for wildlife viewing or paddle Garza Bay and beyond to secret beaches.

SPORT FISHING

Costa Rica is known for its rich waters full of big game fish such as Marlin, Sailfish, Mahi-Mahi, Wahoo and Tuna. Due to its unique ocean floor you can get into 100 feet water right off the shore here in Nosara. Inshore there’s an abundance of fish ranging from Rooster, Big Cubers, Snapper, Corvina, Grouper, Jacks and Mackerels. Getting out on a boat is a great way to pass the time on those flat swell days.
