Where do we stay?

We don’t mess around with accommodations. You’ll be staying in a luxury beach house located in Langosta / Tamarindo. It’s just a quick few minutes' walk from the hustle and bustle of town. Watch the surf break from the edge of the infinity pool while you sip your favorite drink.

Beginning April 1, Costa Rica will no longer require travelers to complete an online Health Pass and unvaccinated visitors will no longer be required to purchase a travel insurance policy.

Can I give 10 stars?! I just had the fortune of traveling to Costa Rica with Have Fun Do Good and can’t rave about my experience enough. From start to finish, it was perfection. The element of giving back to the kids and sea turtles was incredibly rewarding.

Maureen McDonald - Costa Rica

I decided to break out of my comfort zone and book a trip to Costa Rica with HFDG. It was hands down, one of the best decisions I've ever made. The people, the projects, and even the place we stayed exceeded expectations. It's fair to say they passed with flying colors. 12/10 recommend.

Ryan Kelley - Costa Rica '18

I just returned from HFDG Costa Rica and I can't say enough positive things about the experience. The house we stayed at in Tamarindo was amazing. This was a very unique way to travel, and I'm looking forward to joining the Have Fun Do Good crew on another trip soon.
