DOMINICAL SURF AND TOUR
Tour description
Dominical, a premiere surfing beach in Costa Rica, is located on Costa Rica’s pristine southwest Pacific
Coast just 27 miles (44 km) south of the town of Quepos. Dominical is one of the most consistent beach
breaks that a surfer can find and, as this sleepy beach village was long one of the best-kept secrets of
Costa Rica, is still uncrowded. No matter the swell or time of year, there are ALWAYS waves in
Dominical. The various beach breaks of this town offer a full assortment of wave riding options from
gentle, predictable and slow-rolling swells to large barrels as well as both left and right waves, making
Dominical the perfect destination for all surfers from beginners to advanced.
The adventure will begin by picking the students up at their hotel at which time the beautiful drive will
begin, passing through African palm, banana, papaya, corn and rice plantations as well as two of the
greatest white water rafting rivers in Costa Rica, the Naranjo (the river for the adrenaline junkie) and
Savegre (also considered one of the cleanest and most beautiful rivers in Central America). The drive will
end at the gorgeous Dominical village, located at the bottom of enormous cliffs and facing the turquoise
beauty of the Pacific Ocean.
Upon arrival in Dominical IT’S TIME TO HAVE FUN! The tour begins with a warm-up including stretching.
For beginners, before entering the water, the instructor provides a detailed safety talk for approximately
15 minutes where he/she will explain basic surf safety instruction and then demonstrate the main surf
positions and correct posture. For those with surf experience, the instructor will discuss the surfer's level
and experience, review the specific skills and technique that the surfer would like to work on during the
session and together observe the waves. Then the student and instructor enter the sea to start catching
waves. There are a few breaks throughout the lesson during which fresh fruit and drinks are served.
During this break each instructor will provide their student with individualized feedback which the students can use once they return to the water to practice their newly acquired skills.
Following the epic surf experience offered at this location, the tour continues to an AMAZING
WATERFALL near the site in order to freshen up and enjoy an unforgettable adventure of beautiful
scenery, rope swings, natural water slides and a refreshing pool. After enjoying the waterfall the
adventure concludes with a delicious lunch of typical Costa Rican food enjoyed on the beach.
