Fantastic waves and service - Dante and his crew provided excellent service and 1:1 surfing instruction. They let us chill on the beach afterwards, gave us water and fresh pineapple and waited for us to finish our scrumptious taco lunch before driving us back to our resort. We bought photos as well since he could get close ups with his telephoto lens. Pura Vida all the way

Fantastic, chill surfing experience! - Don’t look anywhere else if you’re seeking a wonderful surfing experience for all ages and experience levels! The hospitality of our surf instructors rose above and beyond our expectations . We enjoyed a half day of surfing, eating fresh pineapple, and watching local wildlife at a remote beach with amazing views- A big win on our family vacation!

We loved our surf lesson!... - We loved our surf lesson! All six of us (age 14 to 52) up on our feet, some with more regularity than others. Especially impressed to have one instructor each. Instructors were patient and clear and carefully picked the right waves to show us off at our best. Beach, pineapple and freshly picked (we watched him climb the tree) coconuts were a bonus too. NB for any other peely wally Scots, you'll need more suncream than you think....

Beginner Surfing Lessons - We did surfing lessons with Dante's Water Sports and it was the best experience we could have asked for! Dante showed up 10 minutes early to pick us up, and my siblings and I each had an instructor who gave us a 1-on-1 surfing lesson. Sebastian was an amazing instructor for me. The instructors were patient, put safety first, and they were great teachers. We were able to catch waves after 10 minutes, despite it being our first times surfing. They also took amazing pictures for us! Thank you for this amazing experience!
