We suggest booking your trip with Captain Noah of Sea Breeze Fishing.
You might catch sailfish, yellowfin tuna, mahi mahi, marlin, and more!
8. Visit Palo Verde National Park
⭐️ RATING: 5/5 Stars on Viator | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 6 hours | ✅ Book it!
Palo Verde National Park is located inland from Tamarindo in the flatlands of Costa Rica.
You can easily drive here on your own, but the only way to access the park is with a riverboat tour.
So, in our opinion, it is often easier to book a tour with transportation included from Tamarindo.
Our go-to tour from Tamarindo will take you in air-conditioned transportation to Rio Tempisque in the Palo Verde National Park.
Here you will board a comfortable boat for a ride down the river. Along the way, you might see various birds, monkeys, iguanas, and more.

If you rather drive yourself, we suggest setting up your boat tour with El Viejo Wetlands. They have some really fun combo tours available including one with a rum tasting. Plus, their property is so beautiful.
9. Take a Fun-Filled Combo Tour
⭐️ RATING: 5/5 Stars on Viator | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 10 hours | ✅ Book it!
We love combo tour day trips! They are a good way to enjoy multiple activities in one action-packed filled day.
One of our favorite full-day tours from Tamarindo will take you up to Hacienda Guacheplin at the base of Rincon de la Vieja volcano.
Here you will enjoy a fun day of zip lining, river tubing, and horseback riding among the lush rainforest.
Transportation from Tamarindo and a delicious buffet lunch are also included.
10. Enjoy the Sunday Funday Party Bus

It’s a really great time!
11. Spend the Day at a Resort
⭐️ RATING: 9.4/10 Stars on Resort Pass | ✅ Book it!
Have you ever heard of Resort Pass? If not, it is a website that allows you to book day passes to luxury resorts.
JW Marriott is a luxury resort located just south of Tamarindo.
With Resort Pass you can book a full day here that includes; use of the luxurious outdoor pool, hot tub access, pool and beach lounge chairs (first come, first serve), poolside service with food and drinks available for purchase, and $35 food and beverage credit per adult and $15 credit per child for Azul grill and Azul pool bar.
12. Explore Nearby Beaches and Towns
Tamarindo is surrounded by other unique beaches and beach towns that we definitely suggest exploring. This section of the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica is so beautiful!
If you have a rental car, we suggest heading north to Playa Grande, Playa Flamingo, Playa Potrero, and Las Catalinas.
Playa Flamingo is often considered one of the best beaches in Costa Rica due to its bright turquoise waters and fine white sand.
Or, you can head south and check out Playa Langosta and Playa Avellanas.
All of these beaches are within an hour drive of Tamarindo.
13. Visit Rio Celeste
Rio Celeste is a bright blue river and waterfall located inside Tenorio National Park. This is one of those things that you have to see to really believe. It’s just so amazing!
You can visit here on your own with a rental car as a day trip, but this is something I actually suggest booking a day tour for if coming from Tamarindo. The reason is, it’s a long drive for a day trip. It will take you about 3 hours to drive here.
However, with a day tour you can sit back and relax while someone else does the driving.
We suggest the Rio Celeste Combo Tour by Blue Zone Tours. This tour includes transportation from Tamarindo, hiking at Rio Celeste, river tubing, a delicious traditional lunch, and a stop at an animal sanctuary.
14. Visit Rincon de la Vieja Volcano
Rincon de la Vieja Volcano is an active volcano located north of the Liberia International Airport.
There are several nice hikes here including trails with waterfall views and spots with bubbling volcanic pools.
If you have a rental car, you can drive yourself to the national park.
Alternatively, you can book a day trip with transportation included. We suggest this day tour led by Native’s Way Costa Rica. It includes transportation from your Tamarindo area hotel, a 3-hour hike, a tasty Costa Rican lunch, and a soak in a volcanic mud bath.
The last time Thomas and I were there, we did the volcanic mud bath and we were both surprised at how weirdly amazing we felt after.

Just note that this is a long day. The tour lasts about 15 hours.
16. Take a Turtle Watching Night Tours with an Expert Naturalist
⭐️ RATING: 4.5/5 Stars on Viator | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 4 hours | ✅ Book it!
Just north of Tamarindo is the small town of Playa Grande. The beach here is a protected area known as Marino las Baulas National Park.

⭐️ RATING: 5/5 Stars on Viator | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 2 hours | ✅ Book it!

Yum!
This is such a unique experience and a great way to combine culture with some delicious food.
18. Watch the Sunset
Playa Tamarindo is a great place to relax and soak up the sunset views. The sun sets every evening between 5:15 and 6pm.
We like to grab a drink or two and sit on the beach to watch the sun set before dinner.
Alternatively, you can make reservations for an early dinner at one of the many great local restaurants along the beach. Then you can enjoy dinner with a sunset show.

⭐️ RATING: 5/5 Stars on Viator | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 6 hours | ✅ Book it!
If you are a craft beer lover, this tour is for you! This tour is a bit pricey, but it’s awesome! I suggest this for a group of friends, family, or a bachelor/ bachelorette party.
First, you will get picked up in the only 4×4 limo in Costa Rica. You will then visit three breweries and sample up to 12 beers.
The best part though is really the guides. They will tell you all about Costa Rica and share so much insight.
21. Visit Llanos de Cortez Waterfall

If you would like a really great experience near Tamarindo, we suggest Pinilla Canopy Tour. This tour DOES NOT include transportation, so you will need to drive yourself to the Pinilla Canopy Tour headquarters.
During your fun day, you will get to enjoy ziplining on multiple cables, a nice hanging bridge walk, a Tarzan swing, and an optional free-fall.

32. Take an Estuary Tour
⭐️ RATING: 5/5 Stars on Viator | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 2 hours | ✅ Book it!
I debated putting this activity on this list because we have not done it ourselves and we have heard mixed things about the tour.
This estuary tour goes through the riverways just north of Tamarindo among mangrove forests. Along the way, you might see crocodiles, monkeys, a variety of bird species, and various other wildlife.
The reason I debated including it on this list is because some people feel it is a boring tour and very slow-moving.
However, maybe you want something relaxing that isn’t high adrenaline. If yes, this tour might be perfect for you.
A lot of the negative reviews were from people with young kids who said their kids got bored.
33. Go WhiteWater Rafting
⭐️ RATING: 5/5 Stars on Viator | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 10 hours | ✅ Book it!
If you are interested in an adrenaline-pumping adventure, white-water rafting might be perfect for you.

This tour includes transportation, 2.5 hours of rafting down the Tenorio River, and a traditional Costa Rican lunch.
⤷ Check Availability and Book White Water Rafting Tour
34. Enjoy the Tamarindo Nightlife Scene
Tamarindo is known for its vibrant nightlife scene.
We are not the best people to advise you on this because we are more likely to visit a bar and be in bed by 11pm, but if you ask at your hotel or just walk around downtown in the evening, you will find plenty of great options.
35. Check Out the Farmers Market
Going to a farmers market is one of our favorite things to do in Costa Rica. It’s a great way to get a feel for local culture and pick up some excellent fresh produce.
We go to our local market in San Jose every Saturday morning to buy all our fresh fruits and vegetables for the week.
In Tamarindo, the farmers market also takes place every Saturday morning. We definitely suggest buying some unusual tropical fruits that you have likely never seen before.
36. Rent a 4 Seat Golf Cart Rental with Delivery
⭐️ RATING: 5/5 Stars on Viator | ⏳ TOUR LENGTH: 1 to 14 days | ✅ Book it!
A golf cart is always a good way to get around in Tamarindo. We suggest renting one of these if you are staying pretty much anywhere in the Tamarindo/ Playa Langosta area.
The carts have all-terrain wheels, so you don’t need to worry too much about driving on the sometimes questionable roads here.

Other Things to Note About Things to Do in Tamarindo
Here are a few things you need to know before visiting Tamarindo. For more info, check out our complete Tamarindo Travel Guide.
Tamarindo Seasons
Keep in mind that there is a dry season and a rainy season in Costa Rica. The dry season (December through late April) is also referred to as the peak season.
Because Tamarindo is such a popular beach town, it can be very crowded during the dry season. It is also best to book your activities somewhat early.
During the rainy season, prices go down and the town thins out a bit. It is usually easier to book activities somewhat last minute during the rainy season.
Tamarindo Transportation
I tried to include a mix of activities that you can do on your own with a rental car and day tours for those of you who are not planning to rent a car.
If you would like to rent a car, I highly suggest doing so. It is by far the best way to easily get around the country and explore new things.
Our favorite rental car company in Costa Rica is called Adobe. They have given us a 10% discount plus other great perks to pass on to you.
You can get all the details and get your rental car discount here.
However, downtown Tamarindo is very walkable. You can also easily stay in Tamarindo and walk to any stores or restaurants you would like. Then, book day tours for all activities.
Safety During Activities
I tried to only include activities in this list that I know have a high standard of safety and a good reputation. However, if something feels off to you during any of your activities in Costa Rica, always trust your instinct.
In reality, your biggest safety issue will probably be the sun, especially on full day tours. The sun is powerful here! Load up on all the SPF 50, wear a sun-blocking hat, and wear breathable lightweight fabrics that can cover your skin.
Number of Days in Tamarindo
Tamarindo is one of those places that can easily be used as a jumping-off point for so many fun activities.
I suggest spending about 3 nights here, but you could easily also spend a lot longer here and never get bored.
Should You Visit Tamarindo?
I think deciding if Tamarindo is right for you depends on your travel style. We find the downtown area a little too busy and lacking that typical Costa Rican charm. However, it is a great spot to have lots of options at your fingertips.
The Best Ways to Book Activities
A lot of the activities I included on this list are from Viator. We like Viator because they offer a comprehensive overview of a lot of fun things to do in the Tamarindo area. We also like the security that comes with booking through a well-known site like Viator.
We have come across a lot of websites for activities in Costa Rica that do not look overly secure for entering credit card information in order to secure a booking. Viator alleviates that fear. Also, a lot of the activities have really good cancellation policies.
So, in other words, you are still supporting local companies by booking their activities but with the backing of a big company like Viator.
Also, I tried to include a lot of activities you can do on your own if you have a rental car. This is always nice so you can go at your own pace and don’t need to depend on the rest of your tour group.
Conclusion: Things to Do in Tamarindo, Costa Rica
In conclusion, there are TONS of different activity options in Tamarindo. It is a great place to set up as your base for your trip to Costa Rica.
