Great instructor who was very patient. We were both able to stand up and ride a wave in on our own by the end of the lesson. Super fun!

This was one of our favorite excursions. We loved the group lesson and are so glad we did it!

This tour was offered by Arena's in Tamarindo. Our surfing instructor had 15 years of experience surfing and 10 years teaching experience. He really knew what he was doing and I trusted him because of that. He made our very first surfing excursion very fun! I could tell by looking at other instructor's teaching methods that our guide was more knowledgeable. We actually surfed! I will definitely do this again and work on what we learned.

Surfing lessons were excellent, would use Arenas Adventures again. We went 2nd day on our own through Witches Rock, they were terrible.

Great lessons. It ended up being a 1-to-1 private lesson, so that was nice.

The instructor was amazing, and surfing was so much fun! He was very knowledgeable and very patient, so I did not feel nervous nor pressured, and I learned a lot from him! Also I learned a lot about the Tico culture from him and I also shared with him about my culture.
