Things to do

Lagarta Lodge is the perfect starting point for nature excursions. As our guest, you have free access to the adjacent nature reserve Reserva Biológica with its rich flora and fauna.

Glide along Rio Nosara and Rio Montaña, where the local guide will show you the fascinating mangrove forests and the animals native to the region. The soundless electric boat ensures that you will sight the many native birds on the shores. If you’re lucky, you may even see a crocodile!

Ostional’s beach – about a 25-minute drive from Nosara – is the world’s second-largest nesting ground for the olive ridley sea turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea). The mass arrival of turtles is called “arribadas.” Depending on the season (mainly from July to December), innumerable olive-colored turtles arrive on the beach. The Asociación de Guias Locales de Ostional (AGLO) offers guided tours (Spanish and English).

The beach at Playa Guiones is one of the world’s best surfing destinations. The waves of the Pacific make surfer’s hearts swell, and it offers ideal conditions to ride your own wave.

Car rental services can be arranged for your visit to any of the beautiful beaches around Nosara, for example to San Juanillo or Playa Garza.

We will take advantage of the region´s rural roads and trails making a trip with the world´s most healthy, fun and sustainable transportation system.

Make your way through the seemingly endless and always spectacular sandy beaches. On hiking trails discover the region. 

Whether soccer or another sport – the beach is the right place to romp about.

Visitors who want to learn Spanish during their vacation in Costa Rica will find a small, charming language school in Nosara.
