To get to your Costa Rica Surf Week, it’s best to fly into Liberia International Airport (LIR). If you fly into that airport, transfers to and from your accommodation are included. You’ll then meet your team at around 6 pm for a welcome meeting (the exact time will be determined by your guides later on).

We highly recommend that you cover all your bases with both emergency medical and travel insurance.
With medical insurance, if you have an accident or medical emergency, you’ll avoid paying out of pocket for costly expenses. This covers everything from hospital treatments to emergency air transportation and more. Travel insurance covers canceled flights, natural disasters and other scenarios that may interrupt your travel plans. If you need assistance selecting the right insurance for your group, let us know and we will be happy to help!
Regarding water in Costa Rica, it’s generally considered safe to drink tap water. However, since not all locations have drinking water, it’s always good to ask at check-in. If you notice more frequent bowel movements, before you blame the water, consider that Costa Rican food is also much cleaner (less hormones, less preservatives, fresher ingredients) than in many places where people visit us from. Many people notice their stomach actually regulates better in Costa Rica! If you get sick in Costa Rica, revert to bottled water and seek medical attention to determine the root cause.
