Our guided surf trips will take you to various different waves in the area. Depending on swell direction and conditions. Surfing the outer reefs of Playa Negra in Guanacaste from a boat feels like unlocking a more secret, wilder version of an already iconic surf zone. As you motor past the familiar shoreline, the reef further out begins to reveal its shape—dark patches of volcanic reef beneath clear blue water, pulsing with long-period Pacific swell. Dropping anchor just outside the impact zone, you can feel the energy of the waves wrapping around the reef, creating fast, bowling peaks that are both exciting and irresistible. The lineup is quiet this far out, just the sound of crashing sets and the boat rocking gently behind you. Paddling into position, you catch a wave that draws over the bottom, delivering a fast, powerful wall that seems to go on forever. It’s a raw, exhilarating kind of session where the ocean feels bigger, the rides feel more earned, and returning to the boat between sets feels like a luxury.
