All the teachers are bilingual and will prepare the necessary material to fulfill your personal needs when approaching the language: classes will be personalized.

Go and enjoy a few drinks at sunset or dinner at one of the local restaurants!

Waterfalls trekking

Enjoy a full day in the surroundings of Santa Teresa. You can visit the three most important waterfalls: Montezuma, Cocalito, and La Florida, in a guided trek that you will remember for life! The trip includes transportation, lunch, fruits, drinks, and coconut water.

Cabuya and cacao tour

Be ready to fully relax on the beach while enjoying the breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean on the right and the landscape of the Nicoya peninsula on the left.

Horseback riding

This activity welcomes people of all ages!

Zip line

You'll be flabbergasted while zip lining through the lush vegetation of the rainforest. The zip line tour is a fantastic way to take advantage of Costa Rica’s stunning canopy views. There isn't any other ride like this: go and experience it yourself.

Scuba diving

One thing you can count on in the mercurial Pacific is excitement. People dive into it every day and are always looking forward to the adventures and surprises it may bring.

Even from one dive to the next, the conditions can vary greatly, so Surf Camp Zeneidas always briefs the divers on the potential of challenging conditions, which invariably make for a fun and memorable experience.

Sharks, morays, lobsters, sting rays, crabs, and schools of colorful fish are all creatures that you will see on a daily basis, and in addition, you will have two distinct seasons for very special visitors: the oceanic manta ray (January to April) and the humpback whales (August to September).

They like keeping the dive groups small, so you will go out on boats with no more than five or six people plus two PADI dive professionals. This way, they can make sure that everyone has the attention they need.

Freediving and apnea lessons

Survival Apnea is a course designed by Freedivers and Big Wave Surfers, and the main goal of the course is to develop self-awareness, self-control, mental resilience, and ocean confidence through breath and breath-holding training.

This course is not only designed for those who are willing to increase their performance, but also for anybody who is willing to improve their health and life in general.

ATV rental

Have some fun riding an ATV. This is one of the best ways to move around town, to go visit different beaches, and to experience some other beautiful towns like Montezuma and Cabuya.

Snorkeling

Mal Pais will provide you with the possibility of finding natural pools on low tides, where you will be able to chill. You can also go deeper with your snorkeling equipment to see turtles, stingrays, and all kinds of fish.
