FAQs
-
The dry season, from December to April, offers the most sunshine and ideal conditions for both surfing and exploring. However, the "green season" from May to November brings lush landscapes, fewer crowds, and consistent surf, making it a great time for a wellness-focused trip.
-
The best time depends on the coast. The Pacific Coast sees consistent swells and sunny weather during the dry season (December to April), making it ideal for a classic surf vacation. The Caribbean Coast comes alive with powerful swells from November to March. For fewer crowds and lush green scenery, consider the "green season" (May to November) on the Pacific side, which still offers great waves.
-
Visitors from the US, Canada, and many European countries do not need a visa for stays up to 90 days. However, you must have a valid passport and proof of onward travel (e.g., a return flight ticket). Always check the latest entry requirements before your trip.
-

Pack lightweight clothing, swimwear, and comfortable sandals. For activities, bring rash guards, board shorts, and reef-safe sunscreen. Also include items for wellness, like yoga attire, as well as a light rain jacket and insect repellent, especially if visiting during the green season.
-
Consider your priorities. If you want a surf-first adventure, focus on our itineraries for the Nicoya Peninsula or Pacific South. For a family vacation, look at the Guanacaste or Caribbean Coast plans. If luxury and wellness are your goals, the itineraries featuring the Osa Peninsula, La Fortuna, and Nosara are your best bet.
-
Renting a 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended, especially for a multi-destination surf trip. It gives you the freedom to explore remote beaches and navigate unpaved roads, which are common in areas like the Nicoya and Osa Peninsulas. We recommend private shuttles for most visitors for overall enjoyment and safety.
-
