    Amazing instructor!

    Our sons LOVED their experience. Instructor was brilliant with them, they caught so many waves and he kept them safe. They cannot wait to go back! Great way to support a local business and enjoy a fantastic, uncrowded, surf break. We uber’d from our hotel in Los Cabos in 25 minutes. Super easy to find, very friendly people.

    Response from the operator: Hola Rebecca, it was a pleasure to have you. Next time you know where to find us. Will be great if they can keep practicing at least on vacations. have a great day

    Good experience

    Rocco was great with my 13 and 15 yo daughters! Waves were not intimidating at this beach on the day we were there.

    Response from the operator: Hello thank you for your review, I'm glad that they have a great time. Yes that day waves were perfect for them. Also they were very good at putting attention and listening the instructions, that is very important in the ocean. Hope we'll see you next vacations. Many thanks

    Cabo 90-Minute Surf Lesson: Great for Beginners: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Jose del Cabo.

    How much does Cabo 90-Minute Surf Lesson: Great for Beginners cost?

    +

    Prices start at $121 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Jose del Cabo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Cabo 90-Minute Surf Lesson: Great for Beginners take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Jose del Cabo is not rushed.

    Is Cabo 90-Minute Surf Lesson: Great for Beginners worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 42 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in San Jose del Cabo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Cabo 90-Minute Surf Lesson: Great for Beginners?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is Cabo 90-Minute Surf Lesson: Great for Beginners suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Cabo 90-Minute Surf Lesson: Great for Beginners?

    +

    Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Jose del Cabo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Jose del Cabo and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Cabo 90-Minute Surf Lesson: Great for Beginners start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Jose del Cabo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in San Jose del Cabo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every San Jose del Cabo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Land’s End Experience: Arch, Beaches and Marine Life, Cabo Electric Bike Beach Adventure with Margaritas and Lunch, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit San Jose del Cabo?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in San Jose del Cabo?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
