Saturday

Adventure Week is all about pushing you out of your comfort zone, trying new things, and exploring more of what Costa Rica is all about!

Start your day with Surf Lessons! Even if you have horrible balance, have never tried it before, are scared of the water, and every other fear that might come up for you . . . Samara is one of Costa Rica's best beginner surf beaches because the waves are so gentle. The surf instructors will do the work for you, and you will be amazed that YOU, yes YOU, will most likely be standing up on a surf board in the water during the lesson!

After surf lessons, we have OPTIONAL ATV tour for you. This jungle and wildlife tour will take you through 2 hours of adventure on a quad. OPTIONAL. about $80/person

Enjoy your last night at the Fenix Hotel, listening to the waves.
