We've put together a list of
team-building activities for company retreats in
Punta Leona
, including options that work well for both small and large teams.
Set between Playa Blanca and Punta Leona’s rainforest trails, this 3-day retreat agenda brings together structured sessions, a jungle-based team experience, and time to unwind by the Pacific.
Punta Leona is a strong fit for teams that want a nature-first retreat close to San José. A company offsite here focuses on beaches, rainforest surroundings, and a quieter environment, making it easier to disconnect from daily routines and focus on team connection.
Most teams fly into Juan Santamaría International Airport (SJO) and then travel about 1.5 to 2 hours by private transfer. The route is straightforward, and many groups arrange shared transport to keep logistics simple.
December through April tends to offer the most reliable weather, with temperatures around 75–85°F and less rainfall. The green season from May to November brings more humidity and afternoon showers but also fewer crowds and lush scenery.
Unlike busier beach towns, Punta Leona feels more contained and nature-focused. It combines private beach access with rainforest landscapes, which creates a more immersive and less commercial retreat environment.
Teams often plan beach games, guided rainforest hikes, wildlife spotting, kayaking, snorkeling, and boat trips along the coast. The setting works especially well for outdoor and nature-based team building.
A 3 to 4 day retreat is common. This allows enough time for work sessions, outdoor activities, and some downtime without making the schedule feel rushed.
Weather during the rainy season, limited nightlife compared to larger towns, and planning group meals in advance are key factors. The destination is more about nature and team bonding than city-style entertainment.
Yes, this is one of its main strengths. With beaches, jungle trails, and wildlife nearby, most activities naturally take place outdoors, especially during the dry season.
Dining is usually centered around resort restaurants or private catering. Teams often organize group dinners with ocean views, casual beachside lunches, or shared meals that feel more relaxed and informal.
It works best for small to mid-sized teams. Larger groups can be accommodated within resort setups, but the destination is generally more suited to teams that want a more intimate and focused experience.
The retreat went great, even exceeded our expectations. The team have never met before, so people bonding was the biggest win for us. For a first retreat, it was a great place. The location was great. Everyone was very happy and had an amazing time. It was a major success.
Everyone has made it home by now and is still buzzing from the trip. I appreciate your help so much, it was a wonderful all-hands meeting trip.
As we came back last week and just completed our retro on team offsite, wanted to share how much everyone loved everything, the location, the organisation. Thanks so much.
I think the most important thing was that we really felt like you are an extension of our team.
It was an amazing experience and a stress relief working with Surf Office.
It was incredible. It was so beautiful. I got so many compliments on how well organized it was, and I was like, "It was Surf Office".
It was great, it was everything I was hoping for. We're already excited about next time, we'll be working together for sure.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
