The experience

The day starts at noon at Crazy Monkey Tamarindo Pool & Bar, where you meet the group and grab a welcome drink before boarding the Crawler Hauler: the party bus itself. The first 30 to 40 minutes on the road are part of the crawl (you can bring your own drinks on board), and the bus pulls up at Dunama Hotel in Flamingo Beach, where a pool overlooks the Guanacaste coastline and pool games get the crowd moving. From there it's on to Hemingways, a beachfront restaurant in Playa Potrero near Flamingo, where you can swim in the ocean and join beach games before the real party starts.

The third and final stop is Las Brisas, a local hangout on the black sand beach of Playa Potrero. This is where the bonfire lights at sunset, the DJ takes over, and the dance floor opens up. The bus ride back to Tamarindo leaves from here and drops you at El Be Beach Club around 8pm. Throughout the day you get happy hour pricing and food specials at the stops, plus live entertainment keeps the energy moving between venues.
