Great surf lessons at a beautiful beach! - We had a great surf refresher course with very nice waves. Greta is a great trainer and has given us very good advice. We would come again any time to get lessons!

Rent surfboards here! - Rented a surf board and a boogy board from this company. Good location, good rates and excellent service...very chill about when we returned the boards. I would recommend renting from them. We didn't take lessons so can't comment there.

Sam is a great teacher ! - I came into the lesson with limited experience. But Sam noticed where I needed improvement. And by the end, I was catching waves and riding them all by myself! Great value would definitely recommend!

Thank you for the great service in helping us plan a surf lesson - My wife and I took surf lessons a couple weeks ago and our entire experience with them was awesome. We were thinking we’d be with a group of people but it was only the two of us which was nice. Our instructor, was awesome! Being the first time either of us surfed, they made us feel very comfortable out in the water and were very patient and helpful. We could not have asked for a better instructor for our first time surfing. The company offers a variety of activities and rentals, we will for sure go with these guys for our next adventure in Uvita!

Amazing surf lessons in Uvita - Amazing first surf lessons. The instructors picked me up from my hotel promptly and was very friendly on your journey to the beach. The lessons themself were very informative. The team walked through everything very clearly and accommodated different skill levels. Myself and the group I was with had a great time and I will definitely return back. The team also gave us a great recommendation for a restaurant near my hotel on the drive back. Overall, an incredible experience.

Very good and fun, just a few wrong given booking details - It was really fun and our surfteacher Sam was super friendly and helpful! The tipps and advices really helped and for the first time surfing, we learned a lot! But the booking details said, that it was 3 hours and a german guide, which we ordered, but in the end it was english and 2 hours. That was not a problem, would have just been nice to know. Over all, we recomend it and the fresh coconutwater in the break was really good! ;)

Better experience for better price elsewhere - This was nothing but a bummer. The tour operator barely communicated, so when he changed the plan I was unaware and my lesson started about 30 min late. The advertisement is for a 3 hour lesson with snacks, coconut water, and bottled water, but I got a 2 hour lesson with water poured from a jug that was sitting in the hot sun. I reached out to express my disappointment, and I was assured I would receive a 50% refund. After several weeks and asking several times, the company has stopped replying to me. I was in the water alongside other Viator instructors I had previously researched and spent most of my time wishing I had just booked with them as opposed to this ramshackle operation. Book with someone else.
