Getting there
This tour runs in the Flamingo & Conchal area, about 1 hour from Liberia International Airport (LIR) depending on traffic and your exact hotel.
When to go
Underwater visibility is the thing to plan around. The Papagayo winds stir the water from about December to April, and the calmest, clearest mornings tend to fall in the green season from May to November. Giant mantas are most often seen at the Catalina Islands between November and April.
