Rosa, our concierge.
We asked Rosa what her best recommendations are, which you can find below:
Hi Rosa!
Among the tours and activities we offer at Capitán Suizo, what is your best recommendation?
To see animals and be in nature what I can recommend the most is a day tour to Tenorio Rain Forest.
It is a very nice tour, you can do different walks in nature and you may see several animals, such as sloths, toucans or red frogs.
You leave at 6.30 a.m. from the Hotel, make a stop for coffee (it is a 3 hour drive) and once there you do the various activities. After the hikes and activities you will have lunch and be back at the Hotel by 5-5:30 p.m.
What is the best selling tour here at Capitán Suizo?
What sells the most here are the surf lessons.
Because Tamarindo Bay has some of the calmest currents of the Pacific Coast of Costa Rica, it is considered one of the safest beaches for water sports, and therefore is a very ideal place to learn how to surf.
The Catamaran tour is also a top seller.
It is a half day tour, it starts at 1.30 p.m. and ends after sunset, at around 6 p.m.
You sail in the bay of Tamarindo, along Playa Grande and other beaches, until you reach a good place where you can take a refreshing swim or do some snorkeling. It is possible to see dolphins, sea turtles and other marine life and at the end of the trip you can admire a beautiful sunset.
A tour with a lot of adrenaline?
For a tour with a lot of adrenaline I recommend the Guachipelin day tour. This tour offers several activities, you can go tubing in the river, do canopy/canyoning and visit the hot springs.
I can also recommend the Tenorio river rafting day tour, an excellent option for rafting in Guanacaste.
This river offers a great deal of adventure and action with its class III-IV rapids, twists, turns and drops. During the 2 hours of paddling down this amazing river, you will also pass through smoother sections where you will be able to admire the lush forested riverside inhabited by a wide variety of wildlife.
A more chill tour?
For a quieter tour I can recommend the tour to Palo Verde.
This tour consists of a 2-hour boat trip on the Tempisque River in the Palo Verde National Park; the most important nesting, reproducing and feeding site for resident and migratory birds in Costa Rica. It focuses on watching and learning about rich ecosystems that provide food and shelter for the different species that inhabit this area such as water birds, crocodiles, iguanas and monkeys.
After the boat tour you will have a typical lunch and visit Guaitil, where craftsmen produce (under the influence of the indigenous people “Chorotega”) pots, vessels, ocarinas and other objects with clay.
A recommendation for children/families?
For families I recommend the mangrove tour, the "Tamarindo estuary by boat" tour. It is a very quiet tour 10 minutes from the hotel, which lasts 2 hours. You can explore the estuary by boat and see various animals, and the kids really enjoy it!
What is our guests' favorite activity?
Our guests' favorite things to do are surfing, use the boogie boards and the stand up paddle boards.
