A land of serenity and impeccable natural beauty, Costa Rica evokes a sense of calm enriched by adventure throughout the country, making it the perfect location for an unforgettable family vacation that is the perfect balance of activity and relaxation.
The driest region of Costa Rica, Guanacaste, is well known for its gorgeous northern Pacific beaches and miles of grazing plains that give way to dry tropical forests. Potrero-Pinilla is part of this striking territory. The Pacific Ocean washes the warm clear sand and makes it a dreamy place for surfing, boating, long walks on the beach or just sitting back and enjoying the sound of the waves. Hotels and lodges, fun restaurants and tour operators offer a variety of attractive activities to make this an unforgettable corner of Costa Rica.

DETAILED ITINERARY
Day 1
Arrive at the Liberia Airport
Arrival at Liberia International Airport (LIR) and pass through immigration and customs. Upon departure, find your driver holding a sign with your name on it. Transfer to your beachside house (about 1 hour) and settle in. Our chef will meet you and begin preparing your first meal. Relax and enjoy.
Las Catalinas
The newly created, planned pedestrian town of Las Catalinas in Guanacaste is embraced by over 1,000 acres of spectacular tropical dry forest hills and valleys with 40 kilometers of exceptional mountain biking trails, which are also excellent for hiking and trail running. The town sits on a small peninsula on the Guanacaste coast by the beautiful Danta and Sugar beaches. All houses are fully staffed and there is a concierge department.
Day 2
Free Day
After a leisurely breakfast prepared and served in your house, the day is yours. Opt to explore the beach, hike the nearby mountains, rent a mountain bike or SUP board, or simply sit at the beach club sipping a coconut. In the evening, meet your chef at the house for another lovely evening together.
DAY 3
Kayaking and Picnic Lunch
Gather for a hot breakfast prepared in house before your kayak adventure. Late morning, we will gather on the beach for an exploration by kayak. Your guided trip ventures across the cove where we can drop anchor or beach the kayaks, and snorkel along the reefs. Along the way, your guide will help find high-activity areas based on tides, wind, and currents, and then dive in with you to point out fish and other marine life. Enjoy a picnic lunch beachside before returning to your house for a free evening to explore the local restaurants on your own.
Day 4
Boat Tour and Snorkeling
Snorkel, sunbathe, and enjoy the scenery on this private boat tour. The entire boat is yours—complete with a captain to take you exactly where you want to go. Customizing your day out on the water is a blast thanks to all of the inclusions, such as fishing equipment and a music hook-up, snorkel gear plus a BBQ lunch complete with beer, burgers, snacks, etc.
We return in the evening for a freshly prepared meal in-house by your chef.
