They pick us up from our... - They pick us up from our secrets hotel. We’re on time and the car was nice. They provided everything we needed for surfing. Our instructors were really nice and accommodating. They worked with us. I really appreciated the pushes in every way and we were able to stand up about half the time, being beginners. Really good day. Bring lots of sunblock.

Perfect day! - This was the highlight of our trip. There were 8 of us ranging from 15 to 47 and no one had tried surfing before. We all had a great time and were able to “surf” by the end. The instructors were so much fun. I highly recommend this for families with teenagers and young adults. Worth every penny! And plan to buy the photos and video!!!

Highly Recommend - This place was great. We had a little mixup as we booked the day of and did not get a confirmation for pickup. We contacted Viator who honestly was not helpful and our pickup time came and went. Our hotel guest services was able to help and contacted them, told us they don't usually pickup from my hotel but they would any ways. They cam e an hour later. We had a solo pickup and went straight to the beach. The beach is breathtaking! They gave us a quick 5 minute lesson on the beach and then took us to the ocean. It was just my wife and myself and we each had our own instructor who both were great. They were able to help us both get up (first time surfers). Which was exhilarating! We ended up not using the whole two hours as we were exhausted after an hour of surfing. They told us we could hang at the beach as long as they were open. I highly recommend this experience if you want to give surfing a shot. Book at least the day before and be sure your hotel is listed for pickup.

Awesome time learning to surf - Excellent experience for 3 tween/teen girls. All 3 girls received one on one coaching and were standing on the board within 10 minutes. They had a blast with their 1st time surfing

Surfs up family! - I couldn't wait to leave this review. My family and I travel every spring break to different destinations. We usually do 2 to 3 excursions. This was the best. From the individualized attention to the huge encouragement from the team. Everybody was great. Maybe this will speak volumes, I was so blown away by the staff that I needed to go to the ATM to get more for gratuity. The pictures, I tend to skip these normally. In the situation it was great. You can focus on the task and your family and although it is significantly more than ordering photos at Walgreens, I think it is still worth it for the peace of mind. BRING A TOWEL!

Punta Cana Family Spring Break - Our granddaughters ages 10, 13, and 15 had a wonderful time learning to surf. The instructors were very attentive and professional. There were 4-5 instructors at all times and were very safety minded. The girls enjoyed their first lesson so much we booked another another day of our trip.

Surf stole my heart - We arrived slightly late as they sent an email that had a sooner pickup time than what the actual booking here said (my fault as I didn’t realize that they all would do that). They were still kind about it. We were provided rash guards, surfboards, and a quick lesson before they sent you out. When you go out to surf they have two people to help. One will help you find the wave to surf and the other will help you get your board back to the wave (both very helpful). Don’t underestimate the amount of your body you will use to surf. I was so sore for many days after. We were given the option to return to our resort immediately or hang out on the beach a bit which was nice. If I could do it over again, I 1,000 times would. What a feeling!

Definite tourist trap, literally no coaching provided and everyone tried to convince you to buy something - Provided next to no guidance or instructions, literally only “paddle, paddle, paddle” first person we ran into when arriving scammed us into paying $10 for coconut water pretending it was a gratuity. Everything there is a tourist trap. Rinse off in the shower? Extra charge. Use the bathroom? Extra charge. It was a very uncomfortable experience, everyone that approached us wanted us to buy something and tried to lead with friendly conversation to get us to say yes. The instructors were very nice but didn’t appear to have any surfing experience.
