Bad service, lies and scam. Mal servicio, mentiras y estafa
I booked and paid in advance for a full day surf package, which included two hours of lessons in the morning, lunch, two hours in the afternoon, and a video recording. I did take the morning lesson. However, due to poor ocean conditions, their own staff advised against going back into the water in the afternoon and recommended that I leave. They clearly stated that I would be refunded for the cancelled afternoon lesson, the lunch, and the video that was never recorded. More than three weeks have passed. I have only received a partial refund for the video, and none of the remaining promised refund. Since then, they have stopped responding to messages and calls altogether. I am sharing this experience so other travelers are aware and can decide carefully before paying for full packages in advance. Reservé y pagué por adelantado un paquete completo de surf de día entero, que incluía dos horas de clase por la mañana, alimentos, dos horas por la tarde y video. Sí tomé la clase de la mañana. Sin embargo, por malas condiciones del mar, el mismo personal recomendó no volver a entrar al agua en la tarde y me sugirió retirarme, asegurando que me reembolsarían la clase cancelada, los alimentos y el video que nunca se grabó. Han pasado más de tres semanas. Solo recibí un reembolso parcial del video y no he recibido el resto del reembolso prometido. Desde entonces dejaron de responder mensajes y llamadas. Comparto mi experiencia para que otros viajeros estén informados y consideren bien antes de pagar paquetes completos por adelantado.
Response from the operator: We need to clarify this statement, as it does not accurately reflect what happened. You booked a Day Camp, which includes two surf lessons. You completed the morning lesson, and YOU personally decided not to take the second lesson, explaining that you felt the ocean conditions were not good. At NO POINT did our staff advise you to leave or cancel the afternoon session — conditions were suitable for lessons and other guests continued surfing. Because the photo/video package was scheduled for the second lesson, and you chose not to participate, we refunded you for that service, even though our refund policy (clearly stated on our website where you booked) does not allow refunds for same-day cancellations. Lunch was not provided because you chose to leave early. We have not stopped responding; we addressed the situation and processed the refund that applied to the service not used. We always aim to be transparent and fair with our guests, and we stand by how this was handled. – Macao Surf Camp Team 🌊

The experience was...
The experience was great!! Instructors was absolutely fabulous!! However we ordered the photo package to include video all photos and a gift…. The only thing we received was the photos via air drop… no video no “gift”…. More upset no video!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! 🌊 We’re thrilled you enjoyed your lesson and that our instructors made it a great day. 🙌 We’re very sorry to hear that part of your photo package was missing — that’s not the experience we want for our guests. Please reach out to us at booking@macaosurfcamp.com so we can look into the footage and gift that were included in your package. We’ll do our best to resolve this for you. We truly appreciate your feedback and the chance to make things right. — The Macao Surf Camp Team 🏄♂️

Loved Macao Surf Camp!
Fun Day Surfing with Macao Surf Camp. Nice, new foam longboards, great spot for beginner/intermediate surfers with sandy bottom and consistent waves. Instructors were awesome. Photographer took some great shots and fair price on photo package.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your great review! 🌟 We’re glad you enjoyed surfing with us on our beginner-friendly boards 🏄♂️ and had fun in the waves. It’s awesome to hear that our instructors and photography added to your experience. We hope to see you back at Macao Surf Camp for more surf adventures! 🌊

Great vibes - 10/10 day!
Spent the morning with Macao surf camp today for a private surf lesson and I can highly recommend them! The vibes were chilled and everyone was super friendly. We had a session learning on the beach first which was great before one on one time with an instructor (Kendrick) in the ocean. Kendrick was fantastic! Really patient, calm, and encouraging. He told me where to put my feet and how to adjust my balance and I was surfing almost straight away! We had photos and a video taken as well and they even created an instagram reel for us. Amazing work from the team and Kendrick, definitely check them out!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! 🌟 We’re thrilled you enjoyed your private lesson and that Kendrick could help you get up on the board so quickly 🏄♀️. It’s great to hear the beach session, one-on-one instruction, and photos/video made your experience even more special. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Kendrick and the team! Hope to see you back at Macao Surf Camp for more waves soon! 🌊

Excellent surf instructors! Late day and last minute-amazing accommodations!
This was an amazing experience and topped the list of my fav things in the DR. I took 2 surf lessons 10 years ago in another country and couldn’t get up at all. I’m 43 yrs old and within 4 tries on a short board, Santiago and another instructor had me confident, excited to try and up on the board! I rode waves almost 8/10 for 2 hrs and I’m a novice! It’s because the instruction was amazing and I would highly recommend this! Local surf fun, chill vibes, lovely beach and nice waves. Rodolpho and Sammy were awesome too! I had one more instructor who was also very helpful. When I come back to the DR, I’m booking for their surf camp- it’s worth it! Quick note for those at resorts- the bellboys can be fussy about pick up at the hotel lobby. Barcelo Bavaro requires that you meet your pick up driver at the main gate. It’s not cool- you tell them to drive you to the main gate for free- they owe you at least that for the inconvenience it puts on you and the Macao Surf Camp driver.

Full Day Surf Camp in Punta Cana Lessons Beach Time and Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Punta Cana.
How much does Full Day Surf Camp in Punta Cana Lessons Beach Time and Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $260 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Punta Cana usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full Day Surf Camp in Punta Cana Lessons Beach Time and Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Punta Cana is not rushed.
Is Full Day Surf Camp in Punta Cana Lessons Beach Time and Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Punta Cana, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Surf Camp in Punta Cana Lessons Beach Time and Adventure?
+
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 Full Day Surf Camp in Punta Cana Lessons Beach Time and Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full Day Surf Camp in Punta Cana Lessons Beach Time and Adventure?
+
Around 5 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 Punta Cana 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 Punta Cana and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full Day Surf Camp in Punta Cana Lessons Beach Time and Adventure 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 Punta Cana 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 Punta Cana?
+
On Outty we rank every Punta Cana experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Punta Cana Zipline - 8 lines and a suspenseful hanging bridge, Buggy Excursion to Macau Beach and Natural Cave, Small Group Buggy Tour to Water Cave and Macao Beach. 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 Punta Cana?
+
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 Punta Cana?
+
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.
