Surf's up! Book with these guys.
Alan and Fernando were exceptional! Super fun to be with, very informative in their instruction and lesson. Made learning how to surf easy... Or is easy as it could be. Prepare to be sore the next day if you've never done it. We highly recommend Alan and Fernando with high tide.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this awesome review! 🤙 We’re stoked to hear you had such a great time with Alan and Fernando—they truly are an incredible team and love sharing the stoke with every guest. Learning to surf for the first time is no small feat, so major props to you for getting out there and giving it your all (and yes… a little soreness the next day just means you did it right 😄). We really appreciate the recommendation and your kind words about our Cerritos surf lessons. It means a lot to our crew. Hope to see you back in the water with us again soon! #HighTideLosCabos #SurfCerritos #LearnToSurf #CaboSurf #SurfAdventure #LosCabosActivities #SurfVibes #FirstWave

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Surf Lessons at Cerritos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Los Cabos.
How much does Surf Lessons at Cerritos cost?
+
Prices start at $80 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Los Cabos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Surf Lessons at Cerritos take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Los Cabos is not rushed.
Is Surf Lessons at Cerritos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 69 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Los Cabos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Surf Lessons at Cerritos?
+
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 Surf Lessons at Cerritos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Surf Lessons at Cerritos?
+
Around 24 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 Los Cabos 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 Los Cabos and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Surf Lessons at Cerritos 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 Los Cabos 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 Los Cabos?
+
On Outty we rank every Los Cabos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ziplining and UTV Desert Adventure from Los Cabos, Cabo 4x4 ATV Tour with Tequila Tasting and Mexican Buffet Lunch, Cabo Beach Camel Ride, Mexican Buffet and Tequila Tasting. 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 Los Cabos?
+
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 Los Cabos?
+
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.
