About This Tour

Witch's Rock (Roca Bruja) is one of Costa Rica's most iconic surf breaks, located inside the protected Santa Rosa National Park. Accessible only by boat, this remote beach break delivers powerful, hollow waves that have attracted surfers from around the world for decades.

Our full-day boat tour departs and takes you straight to the heart of the action. Along the way, you'll cruise through the stunning Papagayo Gulf, often spotting dolphins, sea turtles, and manta rays. Once you arrive, you'll have hours of uncrowded waves all to yourself.

Whether you choose to surf Witch's Rock's fast barrels or the long, peeling rights of Ollie's Point, this is a surf experience you'll never forget. Our experienced captains know these waters inside and out, ensuring your safety and maximizing your time on the waves.

Best surf day of my life! The waves at Witch's Rock were pumping and our guide knew exactly where to position us. The boat ride alone was worth it — we saw dolphins on the way out. Highly recommend!

We've surfed all over the world and Witch's Rock is truly special. The fact that it's only accessible by boat means uncrowded perfection. The crew was professional and the lunch on the boat was a nice touch.

Ollie's Point was absolutely firing. Long, clean right-handers that just kept peeling. The whole experience felt premium — from pickup to drop-off. Will definitely book again next time I'm in Tamarindo.
