From Playa Garza, we share the coast we call home.
Join Costa Rican captains and crew for private boat tours, fishing charters, surf trips, and ocean experiences from Playa Garza, Nosara. We share the places we know, the stories behind them, and a more personal way to experience this part of Costa Rica.
A Costa Rican company, born in Playa Garza
Monkey Head Adventures was founded and operated by locals who grew up on this coastline. From Playa Garza, we share the waters we know and love through personal, private trips, not generic tourist experiences.
Our team brings a lifetime on these waters, a deep respect for the ocean, and a genuine desire to share it. Whether you are here to fish, surf, explore or simply take in the beauty, we make days on the water that feel real, relaxed and worth remembering.
Good days start with doing things right
Our commitment to our guests, our community and these waters guides how we work.
Safety first
Before you book a boat, ask who is at the helm. Our team includes internationally certified boat captains and a certified Costa Rican lifeguard. That training shapes how we read conditions, make decisions, and respond when something changes. It is the kind of difference you hope never matters, and the one you want when it does.
Costa Rican led
Our trips are led by Costa Rican captains and crew who grew up along this coast. Jordanny, one of Monkey Head Adventures' owners, was raised steps from where our boats depart. When you book with us, you support the livelihoods of people who live here and help keep tourism rooted in Playa Garza.
Sober on duty
Every trip is led by a sober, attentive crew. We have a firm policy against alcohol and impairing substances while on duty, keeping our focus on the water and everyone aboard. If your group is looking for a sober boat tour in Nosara, we can make your private charter alcohol-free.
Fully licensed and insured
Monkey Head Adventures operates as a legally registered business, with required licenses and certifications kept current. We carry liability insurance, include fishing licenses on applicable charters, and provide professional marine safety gear. These may be details you never see during your trip, but they matter when choosing who to trust with your day on the water.
Meet the crew that makes each day happen
From the welcome at Playa Garza to the last ride back to shore, every member of our crew has a hand in your day. They know the boats, watch the conditions, and look after the details so you can enjoy the water.
Your day on the water starts here.
