Safari Surf has been shaping surfers in Nosara since the early days of the town's surf scene, making it one of the most established operations on the Nicoya Peninsula. The school is based directly on Playa Guiones — a four-kilometre stretch of beach break that fires consistently from April through November on every swell that enters the Pacific.
The coaching approach emphasises understanding the ocean as much as riding the wave. Guides teach guests to read breaks, choose the right takeoff position, and anticipate set waves before they arrive. This results in a kind of improvement that guests carry home rather than one that only works at a single spot.
Between sessions, Nosara's world-class wellness infrastructure — yoga studios, organic restaurants, and the Ostional Wildlife Refuge — provides everything needed to recover and reset. The camp is deeply integrated into the local community, and many guests return season after season.
