Getting there
This tour runs in the Guanacaste and Northwest area. Liberia International Airport (LIR) is the usual arrival point for Guanacaste.
When to go
The sea is calmest from about May to November, when winds drop to their lightest of the year. The Papagayo winds blow mainly from December to April and can leave the water choppier, so morning departures are usually the smoothest ride and the best snorkelling visibility.
