What Our Guests Say

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get to Nosara from the airport?

+

Most international guests arrive through Liberia (LIR) or San Josรฉ (SJO). Nosara (NOB) can also work as a domestic connection, especially for lighter luggage. Ground transfers are included in some package tiers and can also be arranged separately, so check the package comparison for the exact option you select.

When is the best time of year to visit Nosara?

+

December through April is generally the drier season, with sunnier conditions and more frequent offshore mornings. May through November is greener, with tropical showers and changing swell patterns. Conditions vary throughout the year, so we avoid treating any weather window as guaranteed.

Do I need to bring local currency?

+

US Dollars and Costa Rican Colones are both commonly used in Nosara. Many restaurants and established businesses accept cards, but carrying a small amount of cash is useful for small local purchases or when connectivity affects card terminals.

How many surf lessons are included?

+

Lesson counts depend on the specific surf product, duration, and package tier. After you choose your traveler setup and stay, the package comparison shows the exact surf sessions and other inclusions before you request dates.

At what age can kids start surf lessons?

+

The current kids program is designed around children age 5+ who are comfortable in the water, subject to the coach's assessment and the ocean conditions during the stay.

What makes the kids surf setup different?

+

Kids are treated as the core surfers while the adults travel with them. The package shows the exact number of kids surf lessons, photo sessions, family activities, and tier-specific extras before you request dates.
