The service expertly organized our entire journey, including accommodations, activities, and transportation in Costa Rica. The representative provided us with various options that fit our budget and suggested fantastic hotels. They created a detailed itinerary outlining what to expect and what to pack. Additionally, the representative led some of the tours, including a beach outing and a waterfall exploration. The other guides for our turtle tour, snorkeling adventure, and sunset catamaran experience were also very friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone we met was incredibly kind. The business prioritizes safety above all, which made me feel secure. The representative was extremely kind and responsive, always available even late at night, which was very comforting as this was our first trip to Costa Rica. Thank you for the wonderful experience! It truly was a fantastic vacation!
What made my trip so great was that I didn’t necessarily feel like a tourist. Meg had so many personal connections that she hooked us up with, it was so authentic. They are so easy to contact, anytime we had any questions, comments, or concerns, we would get a response within a few minutes, no matter the time of day. We met so many amazing people that gave us so many amazing experiences, it was such a magical trip. I definitely recommend booking a trip and doing it through CR surftrip! This trip will forever be in my heart.
I contacted CR Surf Trip for a mother/daughter trip with my 18 year old. I’ve barely been out of USA, so I was nervous! Wow, if I could give one hundred more stars I would. I didn’t know what to expect, we didn’t even know what we wanted, but I asked Meg to give us an amazing Costa Rican experience within a certain budget. Wow, she blew our hair back. Meg did not miss one detail. She had every minute planned. Private transportation, even a guide to cultural norms/tipping that we referred to through our entire trip!!! I entrusted EVERYTHING to Meg during this trip. Every day she made sure that we were situated for the next day with everything we needed. If I had questions she answered within 3 minutes. We had daily excursions which she coordinated with locals- local businesses, for an authentic experience. I didn’t know if a CR trip was going to be right for me….i can say a resounding DO IT!!! We CANNOT WAIT to plan our next trip with CR surf Trips- we’ve only scratched the surface to what Costa Rica has to offer. The beautiful culture, people, oceans, rainforests, even swamps. Surfing, zip lining, mangrove tours, rainforest hikes, snorkeling… but still with PLENTY of time to explore on our own!! Meg and CRST, a sincere thank you!!!!!!
Costa Rica Surf Trip ensured that my trip was beyond incredible and are so much more than surfing! They were able to arrange every detail needed for an unforgettable experience from accommodations, transportation, daily activities, and of course their specialty of personalized surf instruction. Super responsive and knowledgeable about all that Costa Rica has to offer, especially those that are Costa Rican owned. They were even able to add on an entire day to my trip (a bit last minute) when I wanted to include a visit to Arenal. Thank you for everything!
Beyond highly recommend!!! A dear friend who did a surf camp with Meg and Jairo referred us to CR Surf Trip. From the initial call through the planning stages of our trip, we really felt like Meg "got" us. She designed a trip that allowed us to see so much of the country. Their relationships with local, and often family owned, businesses from accommodations, transport, tours and even restaurants put us in good hands for the entire journey. And Meg is responsive (within minutes!) if anything comes up along the way. We could really relax and have fun, knowing Meg had everything taken care of. We are beginner surfers, and are so grateful for Jairo's instruction. We learned a lot and had a blast riding waves.
I actually came home different than when I left, a truly life changing experience. I had never travelled internationally before and was coming as a solo traveller so a bit apprehensive, but Costa Rica Surf trip made the entire process so easy. Before my trip they sent me all sorts of helpful information, including FAQs, packing lists, etc. My driver was waiting when I arrived. It was a private, air-conditioned transport that had plenty of room for myself, bags, and surfboard. I arrived to Samara and immediately had the most incredible view of the beach and ocean. Coming from NY, I could never have imagined such a serene, uncrowded beach with the most incredible waves. The accomodations were incredible. I had a nice large air conditioned room with a small kitchenette and everything I needed for my stay. The adjoining restaurant had the most amazing food and staff, so great in fact, I enjoyed all my meals here. I enjoyed getting to try the local fruits and the best coffee I've ever tasted. When I wasn't surfing I spent my days at the beach or staring at the beach from the restaurant and have never felt such contentment. Now for the surfing, that's what I came for right? The water was so warm and clear, and always waves. I only saw another surfer on one day and she was quite a ways away, I got to totally focus on my surfing and not navigating a crowded line up. My instructor, Jairo, is world class. He makes sure to cover all the basics with you and gives you a goal to work on for the day. He really takes the time to coach on each wave, letting you know what was good if it went well, and what you could work on or have done differently if it didn't go so well on that wave. He was so patient and if I didn't understand a concept right away, he'd find different ways to explain it so I did. I feel like he really adapted to my style of learning and was able to pick the perfect waves and time of day for my skill set. We did a video review session mid week and I could already see the progress from the beginning to mid-week. He really helped with my wave reading and knowing where to line up and when to paddle. He also gave me some paddling techniques that really helped. I've been surfing almost 2 years now and no one ever actually taught me 'how' to paddle. I felt like I was moving through the water so much quicker and easier after he showed me. I will be going home with a new found confidence I didn't have before I came. If you really want to increase your skills and take your surfing to a new level I can't reccomend Costa Rica Surf Trip enough. Meg was amazing in coordinating the whole trip from start to finish and stayed in touch the entire trip to make sure my accomodations were perfect, that I was getting to experience everything in Costa Rica I had dreamed of. She is so positive and inspiring and just has a way of reading people to know exactly what would make a dream trip for you. She provided maps of the area and great advice on local places, just an experience you can only get from travelling with a group that really knows the area so you can have the experience of a lifetime.
I have been on trips with them more than once (and I won't go to Costa Rica with anyone else now)! They are owned by Costa Ricans and they know all the inside secrets, places to eat, where to drink/dance/rest and surf! Once you see how overrun Costa Rica is by foreigners, you'll be SO glad you went with the locals! They have all local staff, and you feel like you're getting a real experience instead of like you just went to a resort in Anywhere, USA. 20/10 recommend!
We're glad we didn't overlook these guys because of the name! We didn't even surf on our trip, but the service, knowledge and flexibility went above and beyond any other company we have ever worked with (and we're no strangers to travelling). We had last minute flight change and they helped us with car rental, finding beach front accommodations and restaurant / brewery recommendations. They asked our needs and wants out of the trip and tailored exactly what we wanted from just a short conversation. The kids even approved!
I had such an amazing experience! Jairo and Meg made me feel so welcome from the moment I got there. They went above and beyond to provide everything I needed to make it perfect. Jairo’s surf training was so helpful and Meg’s planning and insight made everything so organized and easy. It was the perfect balance between fun, exciting activities and relaxation.
