Kalon Surf’s Top 5 activities during Kalon Surf Week:

1. HACIENDA EBANO –
WATERFALLS & JUNGLE SAFARI TOUR (GUEST FAVORITE)

This exclusive tour takes you through the untouched beauty of Hacienda Ébano, a private nature reserve near Dominical Beach, Costa Rica. Explore the hidden treasures of the rainforest and discover the stunning Ébano and Jade waterfalls, where you can swim in crystal-clear natural pools. Enjoy a scenic hike tailored to your preferences, take in breathtaking mountain and ocean views, and observe local wildlife, including birds, monkeys, and frogs.

The tour includes a comfortable 4×4 safari truck ride through the reserve, and you’ll be treated to a delicious Costa Rican lunch wrapped in a banana leaf, highlighting the essence of “Pura Vida.”

2. NAUYAKA WATERFALLS
(BY HORSE OR HIKE)

One of the most beautiful 2-layered waterfalls of Costa Rica is a must see. Go by horseback ride or a hike, that leads you through the jungle filled with exotic animals to this amazing waterfall. Bring a swimshorts and swimsuits as you should and can definitely dip in the water!

3. CANOPY (ZIPLINING) TOUR BARU

Another Guest Favorite – you will not only enjoy a beautiful and famous canopy tour, but the local guides will also tell you everything you want to know about the exotic plants, trees, and any animals you see! We have 2 options: Baru (2h): “The canopy tour is a beautiful 2h tour through the jungle around Dominical, the guides of the canopy are not helping you to go through the zip line, but they will also tell you everything you want to know about the animals, trees, flowers, and insects you will see during this tour.”

4. ATV TOURS (Uvita)

From the ATV guys directly: “We assemble at 8:45 am at our location in Uvita for some quick ATV training, then at 9:00 am. we are riding through the jungle and into the mountains. Pressing that 4×4 button on our auto trans ATV will make the climb that much easier as we cross streams, ruts, rocks and mud on our way to visit small villages, coffee farms, and a huge 300′ waterfall. Your bi-lingual guide is sure to spot the local wildlife including monkeys, sloths, toucans, parrots, and yes, sometimes snakes! We’ll stop for a swim at one of the waterfalls on our way back, and should be returning to the shop at around 1:30 pm, just in time for lunch.”

5. SNORKLING & DIVING

Would you like to go diving or snorkeling? Perfect! Cano Island and Marina Ballena are ideal spots for an incredible adventure with a top-notch company that ensures your safety and takes you to the best locations. Along the way, you’re likely to spot dolphins, whales, and turtles. Once you arrive at the island, you’ll snorkel at two different sites, depending on the conditions. Typically, visibility exceeds 80 feet, allowing you to experience the breathtaking variety of marine life around you.

During your Isla Del Caño Snorkeling Tour, you’ll have the chance to encounter species such as turtles, manta rays, stingrays, and devil rays. It’s also common to see barracudas, bottlenose dolphins, spotted dolphins, whitetip reef sharks, and moray eels. The vibrant wildlife you’ll see during this adventure is truly astounding!​

(6). AMAZING WHALE WATCHING (Depending on the season)

When it is the ‘whale’ season, you can book a beautiful boat trip to see whales from up close! Usually, the tour takes about 6 to 7 hours, and it is best to book upon arrival to understand the current situation.
