How much money do I need to bring?
– If you hire a complete trip with us you will not incur many additional expenses however we recommend trying to have at least 80 dls for additional costs for each day of stay this is only in case you find something on the way that you need or what would you like to buy. Remember that some communities require a donation for the use of roads and accesses which you must cover at the moment so that they give you the corresponding receipt, tips and some additional food are not included and there may be some additional fees.
– The peso is the official currency in Mexico with a ratio of between $15 and $20 pesos for 1 dollar in the area they can accept dollars but it is very likely that they will take them at a lower price, so we recommend you exchange your dollars for pesos at the airport since there are no exchange houses in the area.
What is the best season to take a surf trip?
– Conditions usually improve from April and in most cases they last until the end of October, we always depend on climatic factors and the rainy season, so the best conditions usually come in June, July, August and September. It is possible to find waves all year round but not of the same quality, so consider this for your reservation.
Can I reserve a private room?
– All our packages include shared accommodation with spaces for between 2 and 4 surfers, but if you require it we can give you a space just for you or your partner for an additional cost. Remember that surfing is about sharing and we like that philosophy, however if you require your own space we will do everything possible so that you enjoy your stay.
What type of equipment should I bring?
– The waves usually range between 2 and 8 feet on average, so depending on your level we always recommend bringing 3 types of boards, which can be a shortboard, a hybrid and a larger one for the best conditions and when the wave grows above of its size. Also consider additional straps, wax and fins. * Solarez is always very helpful in case of a small repair.
How are the medical services in the area?
– The most urban points (Salina Cruz-Huatulco) can offer quality and basic medical services, such as fracture care, sutures, X-rays, prescription drugs, etc. For critical situations or high-risk emergencies, it is always more advisable to seek help in Oaxaca City or Mexico City. In this sense, we highly recommend you to have travel insurance that can cover all medical or emergency requirements, theft, etc. If necessary.
