Things to Do in Jaco With a Bachelor Group

Sport fishing from Los Sueños Marina

For many groups, a day offshore is the highlight of the trip. Los Sueños Resort & Marina in Herradura, just north of Jaco, is a well-known sport-fishing base on Costa Rica’s central Pacific coast. See

for charter information.

Charters are priced by boat and trip length rather than per person, so a full boat shares the cost. Larger groups can split across two boats or take turns between fishing and a beach day. Book early for the dry season.

ATV tours

An

takes the group along jungle trails and dirt roads in the hills above Jaco Beach. It is one of the easiest activities for a mixed group because it needs no experience. Tours are usually priced per person; ask whether pickup from your villa is included.

Zip line canopy tour

The

flies above the rainforest canopy in the hills around Jaco. It pairs well with an ATV morning or a pool afternoon, and it is a good option on the day after the main night out. Age, weight and health requirements are set by the operator, so check before booking.

Surfing lessons

Jaco Beach is a popular place to learn to surf, and Playa Hermosa nearby draws more experienced surfers. A group lesson with

is a fun way to start the trip, and conditions change daily, so an instructor helps you choose the right spot and time.

Horseback riding

Jet skis

Golf carts

Golf carts are both transport and entertainment. Rent

if you are staying inside the resort, where the homes are spread out over the hills.

Massages

in town or

near the resort.

Private chef at the villa

Feeding a group three times a day is the hidden challenge of any bachelor party. Our

cooks at your villa for $150 per meal or $350 per day for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus groceries. You choose dishes from the chef’s menu in advance, so meals are ready when the group is. If you would rather keep it simple,

Nightlife

Downtown Jaco has restaurants, bars and Croc’s Casino near the beach, which is why many groups base themselves at the Breakwater Point condos within walking distance. From Los Sueños or Playa Hermosa, plan a driver for nights out. See our
