SUP Full Moon Tour

Experience Costa Rica’s sand and surf in the light of a full moon with our SUP Full Moon Tour.

Costa Rica’s beaches are less crowded than other popular surfing destinations, and they’re clean and quiet. You’ll still find plenty of swells and waves to enjoy, especially on the north Pacific coast, where Latitudes Surf Experience is located.

The lure of stand-up paddling (SUP)

In 2013, SUP was identified as the outdoor activity with the most first-time participants in the United States. It originated in Hawaii as an offshoot of surfing. The technique is thousands of years old, but the surfing practice became popular in the United States about 2005.

You don’t need need to be a surfer or have stand-up paddling experience to take our SUP Full Moon Tour. As part of the package, members of our expert staff provide SUP lessons on the beach and in the waters of Guanacaste. We make our lessons fun and devote our entire attention to your keeping you safe and improving your technique, making sure you can balance in the gentle swells as well as on smooth water. We maintain a strict ratio of one instructor to every four persons.

In short order, the Latitudes Surf Experience experts will have you standing up on your board and moving through the water like a pro. We’ll even provide the equipment — rigid boards and what looks like a canoe paddle, but with a much longer handle.

Surfing Costa Rica in the moonlight

After a short meeting with a member of our staff to review surfing safety, you and your guide will begin your two-hour tour. You’ll paddle quietly through the warm Costa Rican ocean, your board rocking gently with the waves and swells, the moonlight casting a silver glow over everything around you as you travel past Costa Rica’s rugged coastline, packed with caves, coves, islands, and beaches like Playa Flamingo, Playa Penca, and Playa Danta. You’ll also soak up the beauty of a moonlit visit to a secluded lagoon. It’s romance and mystery wrapped up in one great package.

Afterward, members of our staff will meet you at a nearby beach to assist with your return trip. We also provide refreshments so you can relax and reminisce with your guide and your group about the SUP experience.
