    Amazing Family Surfing Experience

    Our family of four took surfing lessons with Jay at Sababa Surf School while visiting Jacó, and it was an amazing experience! None of us had surfed before, and we couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to the sport. Jay made the experience fun and memorable for both the adults and our two teenagers. We all had an incredible time, and it ended up being one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. If you’re visiting Jacó and thinking about trying surfing, I highly recommend reaching out to Jay at Sababa Surf School. We’d absolutely book with him again!

    Fantastic Private Lesson at Jaco. The best experience! Pura Vida

    Had two fantastic private lessons with Jay. He understood exactly what I was looking to get out of the lessons. I really wanted to work on surfing down the line and catching green waves. It was great to learn from his expertise around wave selection, board positioning, wave direction and turning. I would highly recommend him for any lesson type, beginner up to advanced. He was polite, calm, safety conscious and had good kit. I caught the best waves of my life and really feel like I learned some important lessons.

    Professional, fun, hospitable surf lessons

    This surf instruction is convenient and progressional. I have been to many surf destinations and tried my hardest at them all, but Jacó+Jay was the right combination for my level of surfing ability. I live in Costa Rica and go back to Jay regularly for instruction. He’s a great coach! Family-operated, Tico-owned.

    Perfect Experience as a Beginner

    I think Jay is a magician because I managed to get up on my first try. Wasn't expecting that! He made it super easy and we had a blast. As a complete beginner, I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

    Great experience for all skill levels

    Jay is a very respectful and motivating young man. His surfing skills are master level as are his instruction skills related to surfing. Even if you’re intermediate to advanced skill level, he can pinpoint the things you need to focus on to improve your surfing skills. I give my highest recommendation.

    Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Jaco.

    How much does Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels cost?

    +

    Prices start at $73 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jaco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Jaco is not rushed.

    Is Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jaco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels?

    +

    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 Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels?

    +

    Around 13 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 Jaco 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 Jaco and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels 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 Jaco 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 Jaco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Jaco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna Waterfall, Hot Springs Combo Tour with Lunch & Dinner, Jason Crocodile Tours, Jaco Beach Costa Rica Horseback Riding. 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 Jaco?

    +

    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 Jaco?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels?

    +

    Included: Bottled water. Not included: Snacks. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels?

    +

    We are located at Jaco Beach our tent is in front koko's bar and flamboyant hotel Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Conquer the Ocean with Surf Masters- Surf Lessons for all Levels offered in?

    +
