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.
Surf Office was amazing to work with - from the initial introductory call to the final day of our corporate retreat! They are well-organised, transparent, super reliable and the communication throughout the planning and execution phase was prompt and clear. We are looking forward to working with them for future company retreats.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Elke and Álvaro to plan our onsite, and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the very beginning, they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and genuinely enthusiastic about helping us create a great event. Elke was so thoughtful and organized, always making sure every little detail was covered and keeping everything running smoothly. She brought such a positive energy to the process — she was super approachable and made collaboration easy and fun. Throughout the entire planning period, they both went above and beyond to support us. I really appreciated how proactive they were in anticipating our needs, and how enjoyable every interaction was. It truly felt like working with partners who cared as much about the success of our onsite as we did. Thank you, Elke and Álvaro, for being such a joy to work with! I’d happily work with you both again any time.
It's our second year working with Surf Office for our company offsite (30 pax first year, and 42 pax second year), and we're super happy! This year our offsite was a huge success, with direct impact on our employees' satisfaction, company culture, and alignment with our mission. The week they put together for us was perfect on all fronts: venue selection, logistics, activities, last-minute changes - everything was super well executed. Couldn't recommend them more! And... I know whom we're working with next year!
Working with Surf Office was a great experience from start to finish. Communication was smooth, the planning was thoughtful, and the platform made coordination easy. We really appreciated the well-curated suggestions for locations, activities, and restaurants – everything felt carefully considered. Beyond that, the setup created a great team atmosphere, making it easy to connect and enjoy our time together. We would definitely recommend Surf Office to any team looking for a well-organized and inspiring retreat.
Danielle, Giselle and the SurfOffice team were extremely cooperative, understanding and flexible to support my team’s 80-person offsite in Belgrade, Serbia. From being patient with our company’s lengthy vendor due diligence and procurement process, to responding swiftly when an attendee misplaced her passport - everything went really smoothly. Working with them took a huge load off our shoulders and their relationships with hotels/activities/venues also helped us secure good deals. Would definitely recommend their services to any company who’s looking to plan for an enjoyable team offsite.
We recently organized our company offsite with SurfOffice, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning: The location selection and contract negotiations with Giselle, to the actual planning and execution of the offsite together with Elke, everything was handled exceptionally well. Working with Elke was truly outstanding. She was incredibly proactive, always thinking several steps ahead, and responded extremely quickly to every question or change. She managed to get fast answers from all providers: from transport companies to hotels and local activity partners- and did so with a consistently friendly and professional attitude. Thanks to her dedication, we had little organizational workload on our side, and we always felt fully supported. The offsite turned out to be an amazing experience for our whole team, and we’re certain we couldn’t have organized something like this on our own. SurfOffice played a huge role in making our offsite in Kemer such a success, and we can wholeheartedly recommend them to any company planning an offsite for a larger group.
Sara was fantastic in organising our company trip to Istanbul - she was quick to reply, offered great solutions to issues, and made the trip itself seamless and enjoyable. Already looking forward to the next one!
Expertise and competence in service. Friendly, helpful, and respectful communication. Comfortable, welcoming, and inspiring surroundings.
This was our second year working with Surf to plan our annual company retreat, and once again, they smashed it. We had a beautiful, restorative and fun retreat just outside of Barcelona that the whole team loved. It was so lovely to have the team's support in planning such a complex event, and they did a great job at helping us stay within budget. Great experience overall.
The most popular team building activities are surf lessons, SUP lessons and tapas night but there are plenty more to choose from.
