Experience the absolute best of the Nicoya Peninsula on a seamless day adventure starting right from Santa Teresa. Your journey begins with a scenic drive across the peninsula to Curú Wildlife Refuge, one of Costa Rica’s most biodiverse coastal reserves. Walk gentle jungle trails with expert guides to spot white-faced capuchin monkeys, howler monkeys, deer, and vibrant scarlet macaws in their natural habitat.
Next, board a comfortable boat directly from Curú’s calm bay and set sail into the Gulf of Nicoya toward Tortuga Island. Plunge into crystal-clear turquoise waters to snorkel among tropical fish and volcanic rock formations, then step ashore onto Tortuga’s iconic white sand. Enjoy a freshly prepared beachfront lunch, unwind under swaying coconut palms, or paddle a kayak along the shore before a smooth ground transfer carries you back to Santa Teresa in time for sunset.
