Getting there
This tour runs in the Tamarindo area, about 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes from Liberia International Airport (LIR) depending on traffic and your exact hotel.
When to go
Surf runs year-round here, and the seasons mostly change the conditions rather than the swell: the dry months from December to April bring the cleanest, most offshore mornings, while the green season adds warmer water and fewer people on the beach. Mornings are usually the calmest time to learn, before the afternoon wind builds.
