7 Things to do Good for Big Groups in Montezuma That You Shouldn't Miss
North of Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Preserve and south of Tambor Bay, along a forested sandy bay, Montezuma has numerous beaches, waterfalls, good fishing, seafood, surfing, snorkeling, horseback riding, hiking, and bicycling. Playa Las Manchas is popular for snorkeling, though you need to be mindful of riptides as you gaze at the parrotfish, rays, puffers, and needlefish. The kids will like exploring the colorful rocks and tide pools at Playa Rocas. Beachfront cantinas, bars, and restaurants are plentiful in Montezuma. Playa de los Artistas on the Montezuma beachfront serves sushi, pizza, and vegetarian dishes by lantern light at driftwood tables on smooth sand floors beneath bamboo lattice ceilings. Playa Montezuma hosts the fishing fleet. Hike half an hour to the endless sands of Playa Grande to swim, surf, boogie board, or sunbathe nude where the waves are big and the currents less strong. Horseback ride, bike, or hike the beachfront path north towards Playa Cocolito, where El Chorro waterfall tumbles into the rocky ocean. Follow the river upstream from the beach to find more waterfalls for swimming. Playa Los Cedros, a small scenic beach flanked by a waterfall and large banyan tree near Cabuya, has a right-handed point break favored by experienced surfers when the south swells get going good. The beaches and tropical forests at the southern tip of the Nicoya Peninsula in Cabo Blanco Absolute Nature Preserve are protected as a national park. Surf at nearby Mal Pais, Playa Santa Teresa, or Playa Carmen. Surf camps can teach you the basics.

2. Indiana Horse Tours

5.0 based on 33 reviews
Indiana Horse Tours offers a fun and unique way to see Costa Rica! I've been here more than 20 years working with the horses and taking people riding. It's a small operation named after my daughter Indiana. Come ride horseback through the scenic back roads of Montezuma to the beautiful secluded waterfalls of Florida, take a one way loop starting in the countryside above Montezuma down to los cedros beach riding back along the beach and coastline road to town or take the beach ride to El Chorro waterfall. We also offer an "overnight" ride for those wanting a little more. Whatever you choose, most importantly what I want to offer is a good if not amazing experience with a horse in this beautiful land that you may take with you forever. The horses are the special part of what I do and that is what I like to share with the people that come to ride.

Simply one of the best adventures I have ever been on. I am not an experienced rider; Deanne's lovely horses and personality gave me every bit of confidence that I needed. My wife and I loved our time traversing through the jungle, over pools of water, and up and down the Costa Rican landscape. I highly recommend this trip to everyone!

Reviewed By matthewbe42 - Montezuma, Costa Rica
The Montezuma falls are gorgeous, and easy to reach. A short hike along a pretty good path takes you back to the oasis. The water is deliciously cool and refreshing, especially on a hot day. Definitely worth the trek if you're in Montezuma. I recommend going in the morning - 9-10am, before it gets too hot and filled with people.
