In Costa Rica we use colones, but you can bring American dollars and they will take them everywhere. So don’t worry about where to find them, just make sure that you have small bills such as 10's - 20's and 50's. Most of the places WON’T TAKE $100 BILLS.

We recommend packing $40 extra dollars for a CD with pictures of you surfing. It is a great souvenir to take home with your surfing memories

Keep in mind that alcohol is not included in the package prices, but we do understand the need for some cold ones after an epic day on the tropics.

Saturday at any time. Camps start on Sunday morning. Saturday night lodging is included in your price, that way you can settle before your camp starts the next morning.

We recommend that you book your flight for the afternoon or evening of the day after you finish the program. Your lodging for that night is also included. For example, if you book a 7-day camp you should get here on Saturday, start on Sunday morning and finish camp the next Friday night and leave on Saturday. However, remember that it is a 4-hour drive to San Jose, so you can leave on the same day if you book a flight in the afternoon. If you have a morning flight you should probably book your flight for Sunday spend the last night (Saturday) in San Jose.
