Scuba Diving – The North Pacific offers some of the most accessible, consistently good diving in Costa Rica. Diving here is characterized by lots of fish, big schools of fish, and large fish. Some of the dives have reduced visibility and strong surges and currents. Diving here is totally different from the typical Caribbean-based dive destinations. Costa Rica is not primarily a dive destination, so only plan on 2-3 days of diving, at the most.

Golf – Playa Conchal and Hacienda Pinilla are two of the best courses in Costa Rica. Playa Conchal is a “big,” challenging course, even for scratch golfers. Hacienda Pinilla is a new course with a superb layout and beautiful views. If you like to golf, the North Pacific has great courses waiting for you!

Turtle Watching – Playa Grande and other beaches nearby are nesting areas for 2 species of sea turtles (Leatherbacks & Olive Ridleys). If you’re really lucky, you’ll have the experience of a lifetime, but you never know exactly when they will arrive. You must do this at night!

Beaches – Playa Conchal, Playa Panama and Playa Azucar are top-notch beaches. Many beaches in Guanacaste have white sand, and long stretches with very few people. We’ll be happy to make suggestions on how and when to visit them!
