Make the trip yours

Local experiences,
personally arranged.

Start with an idea. Jeff confirms providers, availability and the full quote before you decide. Activities and meals are separate from your accommodation unless your quote says otherwise.

Surf & ocean adventures

Find your rhythm on the water, with a plan that fits your experience and the day’s conditions.

Arranged on request

Surf lessons & coaching

Taking your first lesson or working on your next turn? Ask Jeff about a local instructor and a suitable beach. Playa Hermosa’s powerful break is not a default beginner location.

Plan it with Jeff

Share each surfer’s level, ages and preferred dates. Confirm the instructor, location, boards, lesson length and transport in your quote.

Arranged on request

Ocean outings & fishing

Make room for a day on the Pacific: a coastal boat outing, an island-day inquiry or a fishing trip tailored to your group. The route depends on the operator and sea conditions.

Plan it with Jeff

Share your group size, children’s ages and fishing interests. Confirm the boat, departure point, duration, equipment, transfers and weather cancellation terms.

Local food & private chefs

From a casual meal near the beach to dinner at Casa Lapa, leave time to enjoy the table.

Arranged on request

Local restaurants, your way

Ask for a short list around Playa Hermosa and Jacó that suits your taste and budget. For registered Casa Lapa guests, YoYo’s at the private Beach Club is already part of our local guide; check current service with Jeff.

Plan it with Jeff

Tell Jeff your preferred food, dietary needs and whether you need a reservation or ride. Meals and drinks are charged separately from your stay.

Arranged on request

A private chef at Casa Lapa

Enjoy a shared meal at home after a surf session or a day exploring. Ask about a chef for a family dinner, a celebration or meals during a small retreat.

Plan it with Jeff

Share your rental space, dates, guest count, food preferences and budget. Confirm chef availability, kitchen suitability, menu, groceries, service and cleanup before booking.

Nature & family days

A little adventure, plenty of breathing room. Build the day around your group’s ages, energy and interests.

Arranged on request

Waterfalls & wildlife outings

Ask Jeff to help narrow down a nature outing rather than fill every hour. Waterfalls and wildlife are already part of our local planning; the right route depends on access, weather and your group.

Plan it with Jeff

Share children’s ages, walking comfort and transport needs. Confirm guide, route, entry fees, footwear and weather alternatives. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed.

Arranged on request

An unhurried family day

Balance an outing with a meal and downtime at Casa Lapa. Registered guests can use the community Beach Club under its rules; ocean activities need their own assessment of conditions and ability.

Plan it with Jeff

Tell Jeff ages, nap times and must-do activities. Ask about suitable outings, transport and child-seat availability; supervision remains with your group.

Wellness, yoga & retreats

Make space for movement, rest and meals together, with as much structure as you want.

Arranged on request

Yoga & time to restore

Ask about a private yoga session, gentle movement or a massage appointment as an addition to your stay. Jeff can help explore local options that fit your preferred pace.

Plan it with Jeff

Share your preferred practice, experience, dates and group size. Confirm the practitioner, venue, equipment, duration and price before arranging a session.

Arranged on request

Shape a small retreat

Start with the people and purpose, then explore Casa Lapa accommodation, shared meals and local sessions. This is a personally planned stay, with each service quoted separately.

Plan it with Jeff

Share your dates, room needs, session plans and budget. Confirm occupancy, gathering spaces, facilitator arrangements and community rules before inviting participants.

Arrivals & getting around

Connect the practical pieces so your stay and your outings work together.

Arranged on request

Airport transfer planning

Ask about a transfer between your arrival airport and Casa Lapa. Plan for your whole group, luggage and any surfboards before choosing a vehicle.

Plan it with Jeff

Share airport, flight time, passengers and luggage. Confirm driver, vehicle, child seats, waiting time, stops and the full fare in advance.

Arranged on request

Rides for meals & outings

A restaurant evening, a lesson or a day trip may need a separate ride. Ask Jeff to help coordinate the route and return with your activity plans.

Plan it with Jeff

Share pickup point, destination, timing and group size. Confirm the return journey, any waiting charges and whether transport is included in the activity quote.

Make the trip yours

Plan it with Jeff

Choose a few things you care about. Let local knowledge connect them to the right stay.

Arranged on request

Stay, surf & share a meal

An idea for your first few days: settle into Casa Lapa, ask about a suitable surf lesson, then enjoy a restaurant evening or a chef-prepared dinner. Keep the schedule flexible around conditions.

Plan it with Jeff

This is an itinerary idea, not an inclusive package. Tell Jeff your dates and priorities; accommodation, activities and meals need separate confirmation.

Arranged on request

Your own local plan

Already have somewhere to stay, or still choosing? Ask about help with experiences only, a longer visit or a trip with several moving parts.

Plan it with Jeff

Share dates, where you will stay, group size, interests and budget. Jeff will confirm what he can arrange and any planning or coordination fee before you agree.

A real person, a clear plan

From an idea to your itinerary.

  1. Tell Jeff your priorities

    Send your dates, group size, children’s ages, interests and budget. Mention whether you are staying at Casa Lapa or asking only about experiences.

  2. Review your options

    Confirm the provider, schedule, transport, inclusions, total price and any coordination fee. Ask for payment and cancellation terms in writing.

  3. Agree, then enjoy

    An inquiry does not reserve a place or collect payment. Your booking is confirmed separately; weather-dependent plans may need an alternative.
