Program
Upon arrival, the friendly team at Akih will greet you with a warm welcome and a freshly prepared fruit smoothie. You will be introduced to the hostel's facilities and shown to your rooms. Once settled in, the staff will walk you through the complete itinerary, explaining the activities and experiences included in your package. A delicious smoothie bowl will also be provided for breakfast every morning throughout the stay.
The adventure begins the morning after arrival. On the first day of activities, the team will arrange for a 4x4 ATV to be delivered directly to the hostel. Before setting off, staff members will provide helpful guidance on the area's scenic trails, including lesser-known jungle paths and exciting routes worth discovering. They will also highlight some of the Nicoya Peninsula's most remarkable natural attractions, such as Montezuma Waterfalls, the natural tide pools of Malpais, the beautiful sunset viewpoints at Playa Hermosa, and the stunning beaches of Playa Suecos.
With so many incredible landscapes, wildlife, and hidden gems to discover, a single day exploring by ATV simply isn't enough. For this reason, the package includes an additional day of 4x4 ATV rental. Akih Pods Hostel has put together two suggested routes to help you make the most of your transportation and sightseeing time in Santa Teresa. Each ATV can comfortably accommodate two passengers.
On the third day, you will be picked up directly from the hostel by a prearranged shuttle and transported to Montezuma. From there, the boat excursion to Isla Tortuga begins. This memorable ocean adventure offers an opportunity to experience the Peninsula's spectacular marine environment up close. The excursion features approximately 1.5 hours of snorkeling across two different spots rich in underwater biodiversity. Snacks, refreshments, and a tasty island lunch are included, along with leisure time to explore and enjoy the surroundings. Depending on the season and conditions, you may encounter sea turtles, dolphins, manta rays, and even whales.
As one of Costa Rica's most celebrated surfing destinations, Santa Teresa is the perfect place to get introduced to the sport. On the fourth day, Akih Pods Hostel organizes a beginner-friendly surf session led by certified instructors. You will be taken to a beach break appropriate for your experience and ability, where you will learn the essential techniques and basics of surfing. Once the lesson is over, you can continue enjoying the waves, with access to the surfboard for the remainder of the day.
The final day is dedicated to unwinding, recharging, and recovering after several days of exploration and activity. You can take part in a relaxing, one-hour guided yoga session designed to restore balance and encourage a deeper connection with the body and mind. The class also provides time for meditation, reflection, and relaxation, offering a peaceful way to bring the entire Santa Teresa adventure to a close.
