Start your getaway with a surfing lesson at the famous Playa Jacó. The long sandy beach provides ideal conditions for beginners, and the experienced instructors at Jacó Surf Club will teach you all the techniques you need to ride a wave. After the lesson, lounge on the beach with a cold beer in hand.
Rent ATVs to explore the lush rainforest around Jaco. Stop at The Nauyaca Waterfalls for a refreshing swim in the natural pools with stunning views of the jungle. Continue your adventure and stop at Esterillos Este, a hidden gem of a beach with white sand cliffs.
Fly through the treetops at Ocean Ranch Park's zip-line and canopy tour. The park is home to 10 zip-lines, a hanging bridge, and a Tarzan-style swing with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and rainforest. After the tour, cool off in the swimming pool and enjoy a delicious lunch from the on-site restaurant.
End your getaway with a night out at Jaco Walk Plaza, a trendy new shopping and dining center. Start with happy hour at Graffiti Restro Café and Bar and then continue the party at Orange Pub with DJs and live music. For a more laid-back vibe, check out Green Room for craft beer and a game of pool.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Manuel Antonio National Park for a hike and beach day. If you have less time, skip the zip-line tour at Ocean Ranch Park. For an adrenaline rush, try a bungee jump with Skydive Jacó or book a deep-sea fishing charter with Costa Rica Dreams Sportfishing.
