They only sell about one third of the tickets online, so if you cannot buy online you can just go to the ferry port and pay in the ticket office. In this case it is good to be there an hour before on regular day. I peak season or weekend days, you might want to be there earlier still.

Aquatic Rescue and Safety Course

Aquatic Rescue and Safety Course SUP
Water activities like Stand Up Paddle boarding are great fun.

The year round warm temperature and calm gulf water makes it even more enjoyable here.

Still accidents can happen in any activity – SUP included – so safety is important.

Thank you to our excellent course instructor Gustavo Corrales from the
International Surfing Association and ILS (International Life Saving Federation).
And to OPacifico Hotel and SUPHERR for organizing!

QR code rule suspended

Proof of vaccination would be demonstrated via a QR Code distributed through the Health Ministry. Foreign visitors would also be subject to the vaccine requirement, which led to pushback from the tourism sector.

However, the implementation of that vaccination requirement now remains in flux due to the Costa Rican court, which issued the suspension following a challenge from members of the tourism sector.
