After the mud pots, hot springs, and zip lines of Rincón de la Vieja, it’s time for the beach chapter. We pick you up at Hacienda Guachipelín or any lodge around the national park and head down the volcano’s slopes toward Liberia, then across the wide Guanacaste flatlands — cattle ranches, spreading guanacaste trees, small sabanero towns — until the Pacific appears at Tamarindo. It’s a comfortable, air-conditioned ride with room for muddy boots and all your gear, and any stop along the way — coffee, groceries for your beach rental, a souvenir — takes one sentence to arrange. Trade volcano views for surf lessons and sunsets the very same day. Flat rate per vehicle for 1–5 passengers; +$15 per additional passenger from the 6th (max. 9). Available 24/7 — enter your pickup time and flight number at checkout.
