Costa Rica Water Sports Adventure

If you want a mix of challenging sports experiences, a fascinating glimpse into Costa Rican culture and the chance to learn one of the world’s most rhythmic languages, this programme is an excellent opportunity to do all three. Sporting qualifications are not needed – just a love of adventure and a desire to be stretched.

Water Sports Programme

The 16-day Costa Rica Water Sports Adventure programme is a fantastic way to begin your time abroad, particularly as the Spanish you learn will help you on your travels. It also packs a lot of experiences into a short space of time – ideal if you’re not able to travel for a long time. Your itinerary ensures you follow an extremely varied programme, including Spanish classes, lessons in surfing, a canopy tour, a course in kite surfing and a day of white water rafting.

Location

You’ll be based in the Costa Rican capital, San Jose, and Playa Tamarindo, on the Pacific Coast.

Accommodation and meals

While in San Jose, you’ll stay with a local family in a private room with access to a communal kitchen and bathroom. Your host family will provide breakfast, lunch and dinner, which will be prepared using local ingredients and cooking methods.

While in Tamarindo (days 8 to 15), accommodation will be in a hostel around 2 minutes from the surf school and you’ll have access to a swimming pool and wireless internet. Breakfast at the hostel is included but you’ll need to arrange your own lunch and evening meal.
