Great experience! - We had a great experience! We were me and my wife who speaks English and a younger girl who spoke Spanish in the group. This was no problem for the instructor Jorge who explained everything very well in both languages. When we got in the water we got help from an additional instructor, Javier, who was also great! So we had 2 instructors for 3 students. Javier also spoke great English so the communication was no problem. I would highly recommend Pukana for anyone who would like to try surfing. Irrespective of language, age etc!

Great experience and instructors - Had an amazing beginner surf lesson in Lima! The instructors were incredibly patient and knowledgeable, making me feel comfortable and excited from the start. They took time to explain everything clearly, from basic techniques to ocean safety, which was perfect for someone with no prior experience. The waves were just the right size for learning, and the beach location was beautiful and well-suited for beginners. By the end of the session, I was actually able to catch a few waves! Highly recommend this lesson to anyone looking to try surfing for the first time—great experience and fantastic people!

Diving right in for a Peru adventure in Lima! - Was able to pay online in advance so I could leave belongings at home, they offered a pick-up from my stay, all the gear I needed (surfboard, wetsuit, booties for the rocky beach, and most importantly a great instructor - Jorge). Communicated throughout the process and also enjoyed assistance from Hector, Aaron, and Javier for the transfer and gearing up. Definitely made my first day in Peru perfect with this fun way to dive right into a new place and adventure. Highly recommend! I was up and riding baby waves in no time.
