If you are looking for the surfing trip of a lifetime, Costa Rica is the place to be. And if you are coming to surf Guanacaste, you are in luck. Ollies Point and Witches Rock are probably the most famous surf spots in Costa Rica and are easily reached by boat from Papagayo and Tamarindo. However, you can only get to the best surf spots in Papagayo by boat. So, hop on board and let our passionate surf guides share all their favorite surf spots in Costa Rica with you!
Private Boat Rental to Costa Rica's Best Surfing Spots in Guanacaste
Surfing in Costa Rica is incredible, but surfing Guanacaste is one of a kind. In the Gulf of Papagayo, there are no beach breaks accessible from most public beaches. Instead, you must take a boat to find the best surf spots in Guanacaste. Not only do you need a boat, you really need a captain with local knowledge of the best location, tides, detailed description of the surf breaks, currents, safe entry and exit points, etc. This company was founded by surfers, so even our boat captains are passionate about surfing Guanacaste.
Our Captain is a lifelong surfer and water lover. He is also an ISA certified surf instructor and is well-versed on the ins and outs of the Guanacaste surf breaks. The much-loved surfing destinations Witches Rock and Ollie’s Point among other great surf spots in Costa Rica are all possibilities. If you are a confident advanced surfer with some knowledge of surfing this region, then just the private boat rental option will work for you and your group.
Choose From the Best Surf Spots in Guanacaste: Witches Rock or Ollies Point
Witch’s Rock (Roca Bruja)
Located in Santa Rosa National Park, Witch’s Rock is famous for its powerful beach break and long, hollow left and right waves. Best with offshore winds and a southwest swell, it offers fast barrels and is ideal for experienced surfers looking for consistent, challenging rides. Since it is closer to Papagayo, you can surf Witch's Rock in just a 4-hour charter. But if you come all the way to Costa Rica to surf, we recommend booking a full day surfing charter.
Ollie’s Point (Potrero Grande)
Accessible only by boat, Ollie’s Point is a legendary right point break known for its long, fast rides and incredibly smooth walls—perfect for carving. It works best on a solid southwest swell and low to mid tide, making it a favorite among advanced surfers seeking long rides with clean conditions. The standard surf trip to Ollies Point is about 6 hours.
Or don't choose, book a full day surf trip that hits both Witches Rock & Ollies point in one day! Now that is one amazing day of surfing in Costa Rica you will never forget!
Professionally Guided Surf Trip to Witches Rock, Ollies Point & Other Top Surf Spots in Guanacaste, Costa Rica

Our captain is awesome, but he cannot captain the boat and get in the surf with you at the same time. Our surf instructors can take a great day of surf and turn it into an epic surfing adventure.
