Awesome experience with a tremendous company and people!
The tour exceeded all expectations. Martin and team member(s) are tremendous guides, teachers, and people. Their approach combines professionalism, encouragement, patience, and motivation to elevate the experience. My son and I joined Martin and Tufic August 26th, 2026 to surf Los Cerritos Beach. Our wife/mom was able to join the tour to watch and support us which was special. Martin’s knowledge of the beach, surf, and channel were spot on. It wasn’t long before we both were catching sets and high-fiving each other. The photos are professional, and will help keep our memories alive for years to come. To round out the tour we enjoyed fresh cut fruit, cold drinks, croissants, and relaxation under the umbrella beach set up, all provided by Martin and team. By the end of the session you truly become a part of the Cabo Surf Tours Family! We will highly recommend Cabo Surf Tours to all ages and skills. Thank you Martin and Tufic!

Amazing Surf Day!
Our family had an absolutely incredible experience with Cabo Surf Tours and our instructor, Martin. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Cabo and a memory we’ll cherish for years to come. My son Dakota and I signed up for a surf lesson as complete beginners and had no idea what to expect. From the moment we arrived, Martin and his team made us feel welcome, comfortable, and excited to get in the water. Their professionalism, patience, and enthusiasm were evident from start to finish. The conditions on the day of our lesson were more challenging than usual, with rough surf and plenty of paddling required. As first-time surfers, it was physically demanding, but Martin and his team provided outstanding instruction and encouragement every step of the way. Despite the challenging conditions, both Dakota and I were able to catch waves and experience the thrill of surfing. Watching my son stand up on a wave was a moment I’ll never forget. What impressed us even more was how Martin and his team worked with our daughter. When we arrived, she was understandably nervous about the ocean and unsure about participating. Rather than pressuring her, Martin patiently encouraged her, helped her get comfortable with a board, and gave her the opportunity to experience the water at her own pace. When she decided she wasn’t comfortable going further, there was absolutely no pressure or disappointment. Instead, the team encouraged her to enjoy the beach and simply have fun. Their kindness, patience, and understanding made all the difference. By the end of the lesson, we were all spending time together in the ocean, swimming, laughing, and enjoying the experience as a family. What sets Cabo Surf Tours apart is not just their expertise as surf instructors, but their ability to make everyone feel included, regardless of age, skill level, or comfort in the water. Martin and his team created a safe, supportive, and fun environment that allowed each member of our family to enjoy the day in their own way. If you’re looking for an authentic Cabo surfing experience, whether you’re a first-time surfer, traveling with children, or simply looking for a memorable adventure, I cannot recommend Cabo Surf Tours highly enough. Martin and his team are exceptional, and they turned what could have been just another activity into one of the most memorable days of our vacation. Thank you, Martin and the entire Cabo Surf Tours team, for an unforgettable experience. PS. Thank your mom for the amazing sandwiches and fruit.

Excellent experience - fantastic waves and photos
Martin was fantastic! He contacted me the day before our trip and sent me forecasts for wind so we could select the best break to surf and the best time. We went to 9 Palms and it was a beautiful beach and almost no one in the water. We basically had all the waves to ourselves. I enjoyed it so much I extended my stay in Cabo and went back with Martin a couple of days later to the same spot. This time he brought a diving camera with him and took amazing photos of the session - hundreds of professional shots of me on the waves. Excellent experience!

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cabo Half-Day Surf Lesson: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Jose del Cabo.
How much does Cabo Half-Day Surf Lesson cost?
+
Prices start at $210 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 Half-Day Surf Lesson take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Half-Day Surf Lesson worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 65 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 Half-Day Surf Lesson?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cabo Half-Day Surf Lesson suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cabo Half-Day Surf Lesson?
+
Around 23 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cabo Half-Day Surf Lesson 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 Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo Sightseeing Tour, Los Cabos 6-Hour Guided City Tour and Cruise with Lunch, La Paz Whale Shark Snorkeling Tour and Lunch From Los Cabos. 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.
