Costa Rica
Jaco
For the best surfing in Costa Rica, ride the Pacific waves at this black sand beach town.
About
Revel in this tropical jungle on Costa Rica’s Pacific coastline. A relatively young and thriving community, Jaco was only founded in 1965 and has since been recognized as one of National Geographic’s ‘Top Ten Adventure Trips’! Start your adventure by delving into the town’s backdrop of rich, green wilderness; best experienced through the Rainforest Adventures’ network of ziplines, high ropes, and the revered tree-top tram - the ‘Tranopy’. Once you’re back on the forest floor, experience the magic of the Butterfly Garden and witness some of Costa Rica’s most colorful wildlife! If you’ve still not had your fill of the forest, you can hike to the Pura Vida Gardens or to the impressive Catarata Bijagual waterfall, one of the tallest waterfalls in Costa Rica. For even more adventure, ATV and 4x4 tours will take you deeper into the jungle. When morning comes, head to the beach! Surf schools hold classes for all abilities; even the most inexperienced will get their chance to ride a gnarly wave. Climb to the El Miro ruins to see all the action from above. This panoramic vista will be the envy of everyone back home. As the sun sets, kick back and relax at Jaco’s exotic beach bars or gaze across the horizon from horseback, along this 2.5-mile (4 km) stretch of volcanic coastline.

Frequently Asked Questions
If you have any questions, here are the answers.
Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time.
