Great friendly instructors! - We booked this activity for 3 kids ages 15 and 10. Our session was on thanksgiving day, there were a couple of cruise chips on port. so it was busy and the weather at first wasn't great so we weren't sure how it was going to go but actually the instructors were so amazing and friendly that it was the favorite activity of our kids of all the ports we visited, I had to dragged them out of the water or they would have stayed all day. Our 10 year old got slightly frustrated at first but one of the instructors was so patient with her, took her on and gave her the confident to keep trying even after she has gotten out of the water and didn't want to go again. I appreciated how invested they were in everyone having a good time and getting to learn and catching a wave regardless of how many tries it took. I will recommend.

Great lesson I genuinely learned to surf and honestly would pick it up as a hobby in my daily life if - Very nice worker there when I went and I was the only one in the lesson. He said business varies but I liked it solo bc I learned a lot

Excellent surf lesson experience! - We had a great time!! My 3 kids - 15 yo girl, 14 yo boy, 8 yo boy all got the surf lesson. Heri was our instructor. He wasn’t there when we arrived (he was more on island time than us I guess since we were a little early. Lol!), but I texted the lesson number and they said he was almost there. Very prompt communication. I was glad they sent us a picture of the shack so I knew we were in the right place. Anyway. Heri got us set up with boards and did a quick instruction on the beach of how to pop up and then off we went! The waves were a little rough because of the storm, so we walked down about 1/4 mile to a less rough section. My older son was a natural and my younger son was too but needed help to steady the board and stuff. Heri was very helpful in this. And my daughter gave it her best effort! lol! But we had lots of fun even in the rougher water from the storm that came in! :) We had about an hour with Heri, then we had the boards for another hour - or we would have. We lost the last 20 minutes or so due to the storm but the kids had fun and got worn out! We stayed as long as we could but once we couldn’t see the shore line across the way, and saw lightning, we got out. And they offered us to use the boards tomorrow but we were on a cruise and had to leave. But they refunded us a little for having lost some time which was so nice and they did not have to do. Would definitely recommend!!

Found my phone in the ocean - Very accommodating! We came 5 mins late and he still kept our reservation. Very helpful I lost my phone during my lesson and he helped and found it! Give easy instruction and stays with you for an hour n get to practice for another hour which is time he let us make up cause of phone situation

It was a great... - It was a great experience! This was my friend and I’s first time surfing and the instructor was very helpful getting us up on our first few waves. After about 30-45 mins we were good to go on our own which was so fun! The experience was only an hour even though the listing says approximately 2 hours but overall and great experience and would absolutely do it again! Highly recommend!
