Nosara What to do.

Local Tours

Nosara has a lot to enjoy. Contact us for advice or to book any tour below.

Canopy (Zipline)

Soar over the jungle on one of the country’s highest and longest lines. You’ll get a true bird’s-eye view of paradise. Moreover, professional guides keep it safe and fun.

Kayaking

Glide along the calm waters of the Río Nosara. The mangroves are full of life, so you’ll spot birds and other wildlife. In addition, the pace is relaxing and great for all levels.

Turtle Tour (Ostional)

See a once-in-a-lifetime event at the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge. Olive Ridley sea turtles nest in massive “arribadas,” and hatchings follow about 40 days later. Because dates vary, we’ll help you time it right with a guided visit.

Stand-Up Paddleboard (SUP)

Choose ocean or river routes with experienced guides. You’ll enjoy smooth sections, and, when conditions allow, a little challenge. As a result, both beginners and regular paddlers have a great time.

Surf Lessons (All Levels)

Nosara’s consistent waves make learning easier. Whether you’re a first-timer or advanced, schools offer group or private lessons. Plus, friendly coaches focus on safety and progress.

Sibu Sanctuary Visit

Tour a rescue center that rehabilitates injured and orphaned wildlife for release. During the two-hour visit, you’ll also learn how to protect habitats. Even better, your ticket supports the mission.

Bio Reserve Tour

Walk with a guide through a private reserve on the Río Nosara. You’ll explore 35 hectares (90 acres) of protected jungle, mangroves, and unique plants. Furthermore, the river mouth views are stunning.

Horseback Riding

Ride with trained guides—perfect for experienced riders or first-timers. Sunset beach rides are a favorite. Besides, Nosara’s long ranch tradition makes this a classic Costa Rican experience.
