CRsurftrip: The best surf travel destination in Costa Rica!

I may be biased, but I'm stoked to announce the opening season for the very best surf travel destination in Costa Rica: CRsurftrip!

We're beyond excited that we are turning our dream of owning a business and our love of budget-friendly travel, the great outdoors, trip-planning and our passion for surfing, friends, and family into reality!

The inaugural surf season 2015-2016 is officially open at CRsurftrip: a fun, friendly, come-as-you-are surf school, camp and trip company based in Playa Sámara, Costa Rica.  At CRsurftrip, you can come alone or with a group and you can stay local for lessons or take one of our 1/2 or full day trips, or, even better, let us take you on a 5-day (or custom-length) adventure where you can see and surf multiple beaches!  Click here for info on surf options and pricing.

We also have a trip-planning menu that will allow you to combine our surf options with any of the following activities: yoga, kayaking, snorkeling, hiking tours, horseback riding tours, zip-lining, fishing, whale-watching, dolphin-watching, turtle nesting tours, whitewater rafting, and more!  

In addition, we have accommodation options to meet any budget from the "I'd rather spend money on activities"-minded traveler to the "I need a break and a massage and a cocktail beachfront, NOW, at any price"-traveler.  We've been both, so we've got you, no matter what is driving your travel desires and decisions!  All of our options are meant to keep you comfortable and give you the Costa Rican experience of culture while allowing you safety and privacy in your own space throughout your trip.

Before, during, or after your trip, you can get surf swag for yourself, your friends and family back home to represent the awesome experience that you're sure to have with us at CRsurftrip.  Send us your pictures to be featured in our gallery online and if you believe we're the best, tell us why and you could end up the headliner of our reviews page!

We can't wait to host you in our Costa Rican paradise for the experience of a lifetime.  Learn to surf, experience the culture and beauty of Costa Rica, make friends for life, and go home with a story to tell and a second-home to return to on your next CRsurftrip!

Southwest Airlines Adds a New International Destination

HIP HIP HOORAYYYYY!!  

Southwest Airlines is now planning on...well?  

Heading Southwest!

Costa Rica is the newest destination for the airline, determined based on surveys of their customers and their desired destinations.  Beginning March 7, direct flights from Baltimore Washington International (BWI) will be available daily to Juan Santamaria International (SJO) which is located just outside of the Costa Rican capitol, San Jose.

Still a good deal going international?  You bet!  Flights are going to be priced around $130 each way...and the airline hopes to keep its tickets 30-40% lower than its competitors as they do on domestic flights.

Need more variety?  Texas can look forward to direct flights starting out of Houston Hobby Airport (HOU) sometime this coming fall.

If Costa Rica isn't quite your deal, maybe you'll find Southwest's existing international Carribbean destinations of interest (Aruba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic and Mexico) and if those aren't enough with the addition of Costa Rica, Belize is next on the list.

Happy travels to the Southwest!

DOLPHINS IN COSTA RICA

Reason number bajillion and five that I love Costa Rica... What an opportunity!  Seeing this dolphin cascade is like a dream.  It's actually a rather unusual sight; Most of the time, dolphins travel in smaller pods.  So this is quite a moment for these people to have witnessed.  I, for one, am glad they shared!  Take care of this planet - every corner of it - because it will all come back around in beautiful displays like this for generations to come.
