Experiences

Many experiences begin right inside the community, making it easy to stay active without going far.

​

Enjoy miles of scenic trails ideal for walking, jogging, or mountain biking through forest and along the coast. Horseback riding tours wind through ranchland and natural landscapes, offering a classic Costa Rican way to explore the property. Golfers can tee off at the championship golf course, known for ocean breezes and well-kept fairways.

 

Wellness offerings include yoga sessions, fitness facilities, spa services, and quiet beach time for a more relaxed pace.

Hacienda Pinilla is home to some of the most iconic beaches in Guanacaste.

​

Surf world-class breaks like Playa Avellanas, with options for beginner lessons, private instruction, and board rentals. Explore the coastline by catamaran on half-day or sunset sailing tours that often include snorkeling, paddleboarding, and refreshments onboard.

For calmer conditions, kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding offer a peaceful way to experience the water and nearby mangroves. Scuba diving and snorkeling excursions are also available for guests looking to explore reefs and marine life offshore.

Just outside the gates, the surrounding area opens up to more adrenaline-filled experiences.

Zipline and canopy tours take you through the treetops for sweeping jungle views, while ATV tours lead you along dirt roads, forest trails, beaches, and rural landscapes. Guided hiking and biking tours in nearby areas offer a deeper look at the region’s terrain and wildlife.

Some of Costa Rica’s most memorable wildlife encounters are within easy reach.

​

Seasonal turtle nesting and hatching tours at Las Baulas National Marine Park and Ostional Wildlife Refuge offer a rare opportunity to witness sea turtles in their natural habitat. River safaris and wildlife tours in nearby protected areas provide chances to spot birds, monkeys, crocodiles, and other native species.

Hacienda Pinilla’s central location makes it an ideal base for exploring Guanacaste.

​

Popular excursions include volcano hikes, waterfalls, and hot springs at Rincón de la Vieja, as well as rainforest adventures and cultural day trips throughout the region. Longer full-day excursions can also be arranged for guests wanting to explore beyond Costa Rica’s borders.

From beach days to jungle adventures, Hacienda Pinilla makes it easy to design each day exactly the way you want it, active, relaxed, or a mix of both.
