Adventures at OCiO Mal Pais
Adventures at OCiO Mal Pais
The Pacific coast of Costa Rica is renowned across the globe for its surf, wildlife, and raw natural beauty. From OCiO Estate, guests enjoy easy access to some of the region’s finest surf breaks and adventure destinations.
The Nicoya Peninsula pulses with life beneath your feet — a landscape that moves alongside you.
The scent of rain on soil, the wind threading through the trees, the warmth of the sun after a long ride — simple moments that remind you of your place in it all.
Discover the forest from an entirely new vantage point. Just minutes from OCiO, this guided canopy tour takes you through the treetops of a private farm home to over two hundred native tree species, on the edge of the Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve. A compelling blend of thrill and tranquillity — sky, foliage, and light enveloping you.
Four wheels, open air, boundless freedom. ATVs are the local way to get around — the most direct route from hidden beaches to hilltop panoramas. Rent one during your stay and roam the back roads at your own speed, absorbing the wind and the pulse of the peninsula.
Swap the road for a trail and let the terrain set the tempo. Local guides lead rides along forest paths and wide-open beaches where the only sounds are hoofbeats and sea breeze. It’s one of the most serene ways to experience Costa Rica’s untamed beauty — slow, quiet, and unforgettable.
Our team can help organise a variety of experiences, including:
Whether you are a seasoned surfer or simply eager to explore the jungle, the Nicoya Peninsula presents some of the finest surfing and outdoor adventure in Costa Rica.
Swim at first light, surf the swells of Santa Teresa, or glide along the coast by paddleboard or kayak. Each tide carries its own mood: still mornings, rolling afternoons, sunsets that turn the water to gold.
Whether you chase the current or simply float and listen, life beside the ocean has its own brand of freedom — easy, fluid, and endlessly alive.
Santa Teresa boasts some of the most reliable and stunning waves in Costa Rica. Whether you bring your own board or hire one from a local shop, the ocean is always calling. Lessons cater to every level with experienced local instructors — or simply paddle out and find your groove among the breaks.
Beneath the surface, a different world awaits. Slip into the clear waters off Santa Teresa to explore coral gardens, rocky reefs, and the colourful marine life that flourishes along the coast. Equipment and guided excursions can be arranged locally — everything you need for a day under the waves.
