ESSENCE
Pura Vida is more than a phrase — it’s a way of seeing life.It represents balance, presence and connection. It’s about slowing down, reconnecting with nature and rediscovering what truly matters. Traveling this way changes how you move, how you feel and how you experience the world around you.
Our journeys are designed to help you experience Costa Rica through this mindset. From the ocean to the rainforest, each tour invites you to be present, to engage with local culture and to carry a piece of this way of life with you long after the journey ends.

Definitely recommended.Posted on Google Cody RoperTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our surf lesson was super successful. He got all of us catching almost every wave. Nice shallow water sand beach that was easy to stand up in when we fell off the board. Very kid and beginner friendly - way easier than in Hawaii. He had us take a break after an hour to get water and fruit and more sunscreen. We are fit people but were exhausted after the 2 hour lesson. I read a book in a hammock the rest of the day.Posted on Google Marjolein VolbedaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best experience of Costa Rica! We did the jet ski tour through the mangroves and it was amazing. We saw crocodiles, shrimps and more animals. The guide was super friendly and made sure we felt safe and had fun. We even took a break and they provided water and snacks. Definitely would do everything over again.Posted on Google Dev ReddyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ask for Billy! he made surfing an amazing experience for us beginners. very nice guy, goes at your pace, and teaches good technique!Posted on Google Mélanie LeroyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

L’eau et les fruits offerts lors de la pause sont très appréciés aussi :) Pura vida ☀️Posted on Google Moni S.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir haben als Familie (Kinder 9+12+12) Surfunterricht genommen und es war fantastisch. Unser Surflehrer Billy gab uns viele Tipps, so dass wir rasch erfolgreich waren. Auch wenn der Spaß nicht gerade billig ist (wie alles in Costa Rica) würden wir jederzeit wieder hier surfen und können das Unternehmen (und die Wellen)definitiv für Anfänger empfehlen!Posted on Google Gabriel MaederTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent cours de surf pour les débutants. Merci !Posted on Google Jessica AlysseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Deep sea fishing! We had a WONDERFUL experience today out on the ocean with our amazing crew! Just us 2 plus the 3 crew.. we did the 1/2 day and caught .. approx 50 fish! For the season we caught ALL black fin tuna which are an amazing fight! And two 20-25lb YELLOW FIN TUNA! On the ride we saw sea turtles, dolphins, SHARKS and a sea snake! Once we returned we went to the captains house and he filled some of the yellowfin and made us an amazing yellowfin tuna Capacio. It was to DIE for! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!Posted on Google Jing WangTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 360 Uvita offers a good range of activities and adventures. Helen from the office communicated really well with us in English and provided very thorough information about the excursions, activity booking and post trip follow up. I would recommend this place for other travellers.
