    Best time with Mojo Surf

    We had the absolute best time! Our instructor was amazing and had all of us up and riding multiple waves. One person in our group didn’t want to surf, and they made sure she was comfortable with a nice chair in the shade so she could still enjoy the experience with us. And you HAVE to try the banana bread—it might honestly be the best you’ll ever have! Such a fun experience from start to finish. Highly recommend booking with Mojo Surf!

    Family surf lesson

    We were blown away by how quickly us 4 novice surfers (never ever surfed) stood up on our surf boards. We had an amazing time learning to surf. Joelle and Tim explained each step so well. Out of the two week holiday our daughter's favourite activity was surfing with Mojo surf Adventures. Tim took so many amazing photos will can show as evidence and keep sake memories of our experience. I would 100 percent recommend booking with Mojo Surf at Playa Grande.

    The most EXCELLENT surf experience

    This was a fantastic experience for our family. The instructors were patient, kind and wanted all of us to succeed and we did. We caught waves, enjoyed the sun, surf and company of the entire Mojo team. They took photos and even shared delicious banana bread. Our kids are 12 & 14 and loved their lesson and want to go back tomorrow and it was so great we may just do that. Instructors were out in the water with the kids and even showed off a few of their surfing tricks.

    Worth it!

    Had a wonderful time as a family of five. Even those that were nervous had a great time and felt safe. Price was more than fair as we had a longer experience than some other other companies. We traveled from Tamarindo and are glad we were able to experience a quieter setting. There were on a few families and wonderful instructors. The owners went above and beyond for us. They supplied water, pineapple and homemade banana bread (which was safe for our food allergy). We love meeting people and trying new things - this was a great time!

    Playa Grande Surf Lessons on a Secluded Beach: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Playa Grande Surf Lessons on a Secluded Beach cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa Flamingo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Playa Grande Surf Lessons on a Secluded Beach take?

    +

    Plan for about 2.3 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 Playa Flamingo is not rushed.

    Is Playa Grande Surf Lessons on a Secluded Beach worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 95 out of 100, which we label "Peak Performance". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 250 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Playa Flamingo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Playa Grande Surf Lessons on a Secluded Beach?

    +

    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 Playa Grande Surf Lessons on a Secluded Beach suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Playa Grande Surf Lessons on a Secluded Beach?

    +

    Around 88 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 Playa Flamingo 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 Playa Flamingo and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Playa Grande Surf Lessons on a Secluded Beach 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 Playa Flamingo 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 Playa Flamingo?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Playa Flamingo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Flamingo, Guanacaste All Inclusive Catamaran Snorkel Adventure, Adventure Pass, Playa Flamingo Catamaran Tour with Snorkel, Lunch, Cocktails. 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 Playa Flamingo?

    +

    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 Playa Flamingo?

    +

    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.
