Attendee Hub
Everything you need for your trip in one place — from golf carts and airport shuttle options to tours, lodging, surf lessons, Tamarindo recommendations, Costa Rica travel info, and helpful trip tips.
Golf Cart Rentals
Choose your cart based on where you're staying and how you plan to get around Tamarindo.
Wyndham Cart Options
If you are staying at the Wyndham, choose either a gas golf cart or a premium hill-capable electric cart that can reach the Wyndham.
Electric Golf Carts
Great affordable option for getting around town. These standard electric carts are best for guests staying in town and are not the premium hill-capable Wyndham option.
Airport Shuttle
Liberia airport is just over 1 hour from Tamarindo and you are responsible for booking your shuttle. Shared shuttle option is typically efficient but there are times when it is delayed significantly waiting for other passengers. Please book your shuttle in advance, paying direct at the airport can be very expensive.
Tours
Each retreat has daily optional planned activities and your final instructions email will include specific links to your activities if you'd like to join the group. On the last day of every camp, we set aside the day for a big activity like a sunset catamaran cruise or La Leona waterfall hike. Please see that email for your links, but this section is great to see everything available or plan activities on your additional days.
