Most places here do not accept traveller’s cheques or card payments (including us) so you will need to get your holiday money either from the Cash Machine/ATM at the airport or from the local ATM. You can pay in euros, pounds or dirhams when at surf star and we are happy to help you change currency too. There are local cash machines in Banana Village just a 1 minute drive away from the surf camp.
