Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wildlife can we realistically expect to see near Sebastian Surf, given its proximity to Isla Corazón e Isla Fragata?

We love the marine life encounters here. While you're not on a traditional savanna safari, expect to see magnificent frigatebirds and blue footed boobies nesting on the islands. We also recommend keeping an eye out for sea turtles and playful dolphins during boat excursions, which are truly a highlight.

What's the best time of year for us to plan a visit to Sebastian Surf for optimal wildlife viewing and comfortable weather?

For us, the dry season from June to December offers the most predictable weather, making boat trips smoother and wildlife viewing easier. However, the shoulder months of May and January can also be wonderful, often with fewer crowds and still plenty of activity around the islands.

Beyond the islands, what other activities does Sebastian Surf offer that we should know about?

Sebastian Surf is more than just a base for island hopping. We highly recommend their guided mangrove tours by kayak, offering a unique perspective on this vital ecosystem and its inhabitants. You can also enjoy relaxing on the hotel's private beach or exploring the local fishing village for an authentic cultural immersion.

Can you give us an idea of the general cost range for a stay at Sebastian Surf and what's typically included?

While prices fluctuate, we find Sebastian Surf offers good value for its unique location and experiences. Expect rates to cover comfortable accommodation and often include breakfast. We suggest budgeting extra for guided tours, boat transfers to the islands, and any meals taken at the lodge's restaurant, which we find quite delicious.

What are the safety considerations we should be aware of when visiting Sebastian Surf and its surrounding natural areas?

We always felt very secure at Sebastian Surf; the staff are attentive and the lodge itself is well maintained. When venturing out to the islands or on boat trips, always follow your guide's instructions regarding wildlife and water safety. Sun protection is paramount given the equatorial sun, so pack plenty of high SPF sunscreen and hats.
