Surfing Trips in the Papagayo Gulf Costa Rica
Experience the perfect Pacific waves at Roca Bruja (Witches Rock) and Ollie’s Point, located in the northern part of Costa Rica in the province of Guanacaste. These two surf breaks are situated within Santa Rosa National Park and are easily accessible by boat from Playas del Coco. North Pacific Tours is authorized to conduct surf trips within Santa Rosa National Park and has the necessary permits and permissions to do so.
Surf trips depart at 7:00 a.m. from Playas del Coco beach. If you are staying at a nearby hotel, we can meet you at the beach for your convenience. We can also adjust the departure time based on the tides. Onboard, you will find a cooler stocked with bottled water, soda, and pineapple. If you would like to bring additional refreshments, there will be room in the cooler for your items.
Park entry costs $16.95 per person, while children under 15 pay $5. Please bring a copy of the first page of your passport and your entry dates. If you charter a boat not authorized to operate in the park, it may be towed, and your surfboards could be confiscated.
Witch’s Rock has a left and right break with offshore winds from December through March, best surfed at mid/high tide.
Surfers should note that the breeze at Witch’s Rock most often blows from the northeast, making a southwest swell the best situation for the biggest waves. This break is not a beginner’s break when there is a swell, and we recommend only intermediate to experienced surfers.
*Up to 5 passengers. Park fees & board rental extra

Ollie’s Point is a world-class right point break. This break is best surfed at low/mid tide, starts near the rocky area, and you’ll take a nice long ride to the beach. You can check the tides HERE.
Ollie’s is 20 minutes North of Witch’s Rock and if you are going there first, it is an hour ride out from Playas del Coco. If you’re heading to Ollie’s first, it can be a 50-60 minute ride out from Playas del Coco, depending on the time of year you go.
