<p>Described by many as the most fascinating place in the Algarve, the Cave of Benagil is a natural site that came into being thousands of years ago thanks to the force of water that has carved through the sandstone cliff creating a striking cave. From Praia do Carvoeiro, where the Benagil Cave boat tour begins, we sail along the coast, past charming places such as the “Doll” and “Algar Seco,” as well as wonderful white sand beaches. Pass by the Alfanzina Lighthouse, which is recognized as one of the most iconic in the Algarve, discover countless rock formations and visit the interior of the main ten Benagil Caves.</p>

<p>Costa Rica has long been a popular destination for surfers worldwide. Famous Playa Grande on the Pacific Coast is one of the favoured beaches for wave riders of all levels. Located in Las Baulas National Park, Playa Grande is a long white-sand beach offering stunning views of the surrounding natural marine park, which has been carefully preserved as it is a nesting site for huge leatherback turtles. The quiet beach is also an ideal destination to learn surfing as it is rarely crowded and provides consistent, ride-able waves with perfect left and right peaks.</p>
<p>We will leave Playas del Coco early in the morning for a short ride through coastal towns before arriving at Playa Grande. There we will be greeted by our surf instructors, who will provide equipment and go over the basics and safety of surfing this famous beach. Each student will receive individual attention and instructions before having the opportunity to conquer the waves on his/her own. Hang ten, and look out for those swells!</p>
<p>After a fun day of surfing, we will have lunch (included) in a nearby beach café, stroll through the marine park, and return to Playas del Coco in the afternoon.</p>

<p>Love wildlife? This excursion will take you on an animal discovery adventure. Bijagua Ranas is a family owned animal reserve located in the lush Guanacaste mountain range. Here you can find 2-toed and 3-toed sloths hanging from the trees in the forest canopy above, different types of colourful frogs, blue morpho butterflies, hummingbirds, snakes, toucans and other birds, marching ants, and more! The property is perfect for slow paced walking and enjoying the animals in their natural setting. We won’t be touching the animals but bring your cameras and you can photograph them up close.</p>
<p>After our animal discovery walk we will take a short drive to the magical Rio Celeste Waterfall. This huge 98 foot breathtaking waterfall plunges into a jungle pool of famously bright turquois blue water, all surrounded by the dense tropical forest. Another incredible photo opportunity!</p>

<p>Costa Rica has long been a popular destination for surfers worldwide. Famous Playa Grande on the Pacific Coast is one of the favoured beaches for wave riders of all levels. Located in Las Baulas National Park, Playa Grande is a long white-sand beach offering stunning views of the surrounding natural marine park, which has been carefully preserved as it is a nesting site for huge leatherback turtles. The quiet beach is also an ideal destination to learn surfing as it is rarely crowded and provides consistent, ride-able waves with perfect left and right peaks.</p>
<p>We will leave Playas del Coco early in the morning for a short ride through coastal towns before arriving at Playa Grande. There we will be greeted by our surf instructors, who will provide equipment and go over the basics and safety of surfing this famous beach. Each student will receive individual attention and instructions before having the opportunity to conquer the waves on his/her own. Hang ten, and look out for those swells!</p>
<p>After a fun day of surfing, we will have lunch (included) in a nearby beach café, stroll through the marine park, and return to Playas del Coco in the afternoon.</p>

<p>Love wildlife? This excursion will take you on an animal discovery adventure. Bijagua Ranas is a family owned animal reserve located in the lush Guanacaste mountain range. Here you can find 2-toed and 3-toed sloths hanging from the trees in the forest canopy above, different types of colourful frogs, blue morpho butterflies, hummingbirds, snakes, toucans and other birds, marching ants, and more! The property is perfect for slow paced walking and enjoying the animals in their natural setting. We won’t be touching the animals but bring your cameras and you can photograph them up close.</p>
<p>After our animal discovery walk we will take a short drive to the magical Rio Celeste Waterfall. This huge 98 foot breathtaking waterfall plunges into a jungle pool of famously bright turquois blue water, all surrounded by the dense tropical forest. Another incredible photo opportunity!</p>
