Matapalo Excursion
Take a boat ride across the bay to Matapalo *45minutes to check out the sights, beaches and wildlife or go surf with friends, there are 3 different really good right point breaks to explore. Matapalo is a small eco community on the outskirts of one of the most abundant national parks in all of Central America, El Corcovado.
There are a couple of hotels / restaurants to check, sit by the pool and have a drink (Encanta La Vida is kid friendly) / but we also welcome you to hike around, explore the surroundings, surf or simply hang out at the beach, set up camp! There is a waterfall about a 30 minute hike away from the beach and we are happy to set you up with a seasoned guide to take you around.
$250 - Leave at 6.30am come back at 3pm (or earlier if you wish)
Guide Fee - $60
9 people maximum / we can hire several pangas for larger groups.
We do not recommend Matapalo for non adventurous people/ older/ not mobile - you will need to get on and off a boat in a rocky shore, bring water shoes for maximum comfort and flip fops or sneakers for the land, plenty of sunblock, a hat, water, snacks and food. Also windbreaker and change of clothes might be a good idea because the boat ride back can get a bit rough (safe, but you might get wet)
