Best surf lessons!! - I had the BEST time learning to surf today! My instructor was Ry (Ri...?) And he was so great. By the end I stood up on many waves and felt safe and relaxed throughout. Highly highly recommend!! Also, got delicious fresh pineapples as a perfect post surfing snack and transportation to and from the beach was included 👍

Family surf time - I highly recommend Dantes for surf and hanging out for the day. We had one-on-one lessons and we all got up and SURFED! These guys know there stuff and took great care of us. After, we were able to chill, have some food and play with the body boards. My family would give this activity 10 out of 10 starts! Go surf! They took beautiful photos at a very reasonable price.

Good waves and good vibes - Dante picked us up on time from our hotel and we got primo spot on the beach for learning to surf. Both my 10 year old son and I were standing up in no time thanks to our great coaches William and Sebastian. Definitely a good place to learn when the conditions are right!

- My husband and three teenage boys did lessons this weekend and loved it. Day 1 they each had a coach and day 2, there were two coaches for the group of four. Everyone was getting up on day 1, and the coaches were great at building confidence and were so nice. My son just said to me “everyone here is so nice!”. Of note, surf shirts are provided for everyone which is super helpful!!!! Thank you team Dante! We will be back!

Great surf lessons! - My 16 yo daughter and I had surf lessons and a session on Espadilla beach in Manuel Antonio. It was amazing. We have surfed before but we are still novices and these were the biggest waves we have done, so the 1 to 1 help from the guides was massively helpful. Their knowledge of the conditions, tips and help on the boards helped us catch some really good waves and made it a totally memorable day. Would recommend to anyone wanting to either catch their first one or wanting to get better on some good waves!

Great lessons, best location! - The location is just perfect! Beautiful and more private. The whole experience was personal and Dante’s tour set us up with chairs and umbrellas for the day! The surf lesson was great and the instructors were super helpful! We surfed, relaxed, had the best lunch, and made memories!
