What travellers are saying
- lindaKNovi, MI184 contributionsWe did alot of tours in the area and this was one of our favorites - very interesting to learn about the various animals, how they ended up there and potential release - we were lucky to see most of the nocturnal ones on the 3pm tour - this is a nonprofit so all of the fees go to support the volunteer organization - you can also order food/drinks before or after at Villas Alturas with a beautiful view.Written February 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- mducettiNew York City, NY43 contributionsWe love this little beach. Shared by Ticos and visitors especially at sunset, it has a more local feel than many of the of the other beaches around. There is no fee to use this beach and ample parking. It can get crowded on the weekends. There are a few locals selling coconuts and simple treats especially on the weekends. This is the beach where beginner surfers like to come at high tide. At low tide it is a wide landing strip for parasailers that come in off the higher hills. Great sunsets and you often see local fishing boats getting ready to go out at high tide. We found this is a family oriented beach where kids are playing and adults can manage the waves and spend time in the water. There are no life guards.Written February 23, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- FeraniAmsterdam, The Netherlands13 contributionsWe were in Dominical and looking for a massage. I had the most wonderful massage by Cristina and my mom by Sianny. Perfect amount of pressure but also relaxing. Felt reborn afterwards. Heaven! If I lived here I would visit weekly.Written January 24, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Crystal SFort Lauderdale, FL3 contributionsI've gotten TONS of massages all around the world, and WOW what an experience this was, Karla took me on such a wonderful spiritual journey and left me in the clouds. Her touch is so magical, your body will be left in a trance of peace, love & light. I'd highly recommend her and can't wait for our paths to cross again.

Our guide Victor shared so much information with us, not only about the mangroves and their ecology, but also about local history. Booking and meetup were super smooth and we wouldn't hesitate to go again.Written February 5, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- ArcticEmpireZurich, Switzerland1 contributionMy Girlfriend and I decided to come to Dominical for 19 days to surf. After two days of surfing on our own, we decided to take an intermediate surflesson at Dominical Surf School. We had an amazing time and took from there a surflesson each day.
Our Surf-teacher Alex was amazing! He is an amazing guy, friendly, funny and yet very professional! He understood our (different) surfing levels perfectly and planned the lessons accordingly, so we both made huge improvments. Since the intermediate lessons are in max groups size of 3 you get the absolut best out of it.
Debbie and the rest of the Team are super friendly aswell, and try to help wherever they can. There is also the possibility to make videos of your surflesson for a fair price and review them together with your teacher and that helps a lot with your improvment!
The Surflessons give you access to 3 different beaches, according to your skill level aswell!
All in all I can only recommand going there. You will have the time lf your live! We are already looking into the next possibility to come here!

The team consisting of Luis, Ronnie and the driver (apologies I can’t remember his name) were fantastic. The trip was really well organised, easy to understand safety briefing and the trip was great fun. Luis is lovely, knowledgable about the area, plants, birds the list goes on. I can’t recommend this company highly enough. If you are thinking of going white water rafting then choose this company.Written January 27, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- AndersonsinSCSan Clemente, CA35 contributionsOur family was looking for some reasonably priced things to remember our vacation. We almost walked past this gem, it looked too small. We went in and found the motherload of both typical touristy stuff but also had cool and affordable artsy things. We loaded up. Carlos was super cool and his shop was awesome!Written June 23, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
