Playa Samara is a pristine, close-knit community located on Costa Rica’s Nicoya Peninsula. This peaceful and amazingly friendly town is filled with school children playing soccer in the town square, smiling faces of shopkeepers and surfers walking with their boards down to the beach.
Our extensive and lasting friendships within this inspiring community allow our travelers to experience a wide range of meaningful service opportunities that are aimed at improving the lives, environment and culture of the people of this amazing town. Soccer Clinics, teaching English at local schools, environmental protection projects, assisting in after school art and health awareness programs and town beautification projects are just a sample of the projects that our travelers engage in.
When not taking part in a wide array of community service projects, our travelers spend their days surfing on the gentle, rolling waves of Samara. Whether you have never stepped foot on a board or are an intermediate surfer looking to improve upon your already established skill, our experienced guides will work with you each moment of your time in the water. Ask anyone who has ever surfed and they will tell you that the ‘stoke’ one receives from riding waves is unlike anything on earth.
The beginning waves of Samara combined with years of experienced surf instruction and the emphasis that our guides place on safety ensures that our travelers will be in the safest possible environment as they learn the art of surfing on this beautiful, white sand beach.
In the time between surfing and inspiring community service projects, Samara and the beautiful beaches and rustic towns that surround it offer an incredible array of awesome outdoor activities. Examples of these activities include jungle trekking, beach bbq’s, hermit crab racing, canopy zip-line tours, hot springs, sea kayaking and snorkeling.
