Practical information
All the surf boats and resorts accept USD but the surf boats don’t accept credit card on board so make sure you’ll bring USD in cash for extra drinks in the bar and tips.
There is an ATM upon arrival but only in local currency so be prepared so you don’t be surprised. If you want to stay connected and use your phone and internet, there are 2 phone providers in the arrival hall and they sell local sim cards for good rates with 3G internet (4G is available in some spots but 3G is usually good enough). By getting yourself a local sim card, you’ll be sure you can call the home front and send you best surf pictures to all your friends.
Upon arrival you will get a free 30-day visa. Be sure that your passport is valid 6 months valid upon the date of return.
