Family surf vacations in Costa Rica are becoming an increasingly popular option for the active family.  There are a lot of different choices and plenty to do for any non-surfers in the group.  These options range from booking your hotel  and getting individual surf lessons to full surf packages. Learning to surf is suitable for very young children all the way up to grandparents.

The Playa Jaco area is blessed with some of the most consistent surf in Costa Rica. Third World Surf has been offering surf vacations and surf camps in the area for over 10 years.  We offer a set Surf Camp package including accommodations, surf instruction, yoga classes, some meals, massage and round trip airport transfer.  Third World is flexible and they can alter this package to suit your family”sneeds.  We are partnered with The Surfer Factory for surf instruction and are confident that you will be pleased with our qualified professional group of surf instructors.

You can actually see a sample of our surf instruction at Third World Videos.  Yoga classes are offered and go very well with surfing for recovery and increasing your flexibility.

 Accommodations are with Hotel Poseidon and the full surf camp package includes breakfasts and dinners.  Breakfast is offered daily at the hotel so that the guest can get up and eat at their convenience.  Dinners are at different restaurants in the Jaco area, including local Costa Rican food.  A massage to sooth those sore muscles is  also included with the package.

 Packages can be adjusted  or customized for families who  want to do meals on their own, do other activities or  upgrade their accommodations.  We have beautiful, scenic houses and condominiums  available as well.  You can  build your own package according to what you want to do and see on your vacation.  There are many non-surf activities in the area to choose from, including ATV tours, Zipline, Manuel Antonio National Park, Tortuga Island Boat Trip with Snorkeling, and much more.    Sportfishing is world class and there is an 18 hole golf course located in the same area as the marina, so there is plenty to keep you busy besides surfing. Spa days are available also.

There are many great restaurants in the area to choose from, serving  some of the freshest fish and seafood you have ever eaten.  There are also excellent meats and vegetarian fare,  as well as plenty of choices for the kids.  A representative from Third World will meet you at the airport for your transportation to the beach.  And we will return you to the airport at the end of your stay, so all you have to do is just sit back and enjoy the ride.
