Good also for advanced surfers
Very nice teachers. My sons already know how to surf so they helped them go far onto the sea and catch the bigger waves

First meeting with the Pacific Ocean
Thank you for the unique experience it became a memory of lifetime 😊 The guides were very nice, but i really missed a "changeing room" where i could peacefully jump into the surf suit:)
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We're truly happy to know this experience became a lifetime memory for you — that means the world to us! 🌊✨ We also appreciate your feedback about the changing area. That’s a great point, and we’ll definitely take it into account to improve the comfort of future guests. Hope to welcome you again soon for another adventure in Peru! Warm regards from the Izi Peru team 🇵🇪

Fun experience!!
Really enjoyed the experience. Leo was a great instructor and very patient and helpful. Reasonable price and lots of time in the water
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! 🏄♂️🌊 We’re thrilled to hear you had a great time and that Leo made your experience even better — he’ll be happy to hear your compliments! It’s great that you felt the price was fair and enjoyed plenty of time in the water. We hope to see you again soon for more adventures in Peru! Warm regards from the Izi Peru team 🇵🇪✨

Caught 3 waves...first time!
I had a 1.5 hour lesson with Leo as instructor. We practiced the 1, 2, 3 method for catching a wave and standing up...multiple times on the beach until he was confident I would remember it. Then, into the surf on a BIG wide board. The lesson took place in a good shallow area just below the nearby pier/restaurant. I caught three small waves with him giving a small push and shouting instructions about timing. He was very patient while working with a 50 year old mama like me. Will go again!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🏄♂️ We're so glad to hear that your lesson with Leo was enjoyable and that he took the time to make sure you felt confident before hitting the waves. His dedication and clear method really make a difference for beginners! We hope this was just the beginning of many more surf adventures for you. Warm regards from the Izi Peru team 🌊🇵🇪✨

I don’t recommend
We got to surf some waves and got the right equipment for it but we did not like our guide, he was not really into the activity nor getting involved with us.

Lima: Miraflores Surfing Lesson: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Lima: Miraflores Surfing Lesson cost?
+
Prices start at $39 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lima usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lima: Miraflores Surfing Lesson take?
+
Plan for about 1.3 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 Lima is not rushed.
Is Lima: Miraflores Surfing Lesson 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 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lima, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lima: Miraflores Surfing 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 Lima: Miraflores Surfing Lesson suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lima: Miraflores Surfing Lesson?
+
Around 2 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 Lima 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 Lima and add a light layer if any part of the 1.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lima: Miraflores Surfing 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 Lima 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 Lima?
+
On Outty we rank every Lima experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima, Day Tour From Lima: Paracas, Huacachina, Pisco Vineyard & Sunset, Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast. 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 Lima?
+
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 Lima?
+
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.
