What to do in Guanacaste & Nicoya Peninsula

Jutting out from Costa Rica's northern Pacific coast, the peninsula is 80 miles of pure heaven, with idyllic beaches to relax on, warm waters to swim in, and watersports galore. Paddleboarding, kayaking, surfing - you name it and it's probably here. A favourite are the snorkelling excursion, where you'll float alongside dolphins, manta rays and sea turtles. Back on land, explore the forests of greater Guanacaste on foot, always keeping an eye out for dazzling birdlife, monkeys, sloths and iguanas.
