Highly Recommend!
My boyfriend and I decided to try surfing for the first time in Lima and thanks to Kerry, I was able to catch my first wave! Kerry was such a helpful instructor and continuously encouraged me when I kept falling. I couldn’t have done it without her- highly recommend!

Great Lesson
The aspect of learning how to surf was incredible. As a first time surfer, I got up multiple times and felt great on the board! Our instructor Alberto was a great coach, but honestly kind of rude to us. He kept telling us we do not have discipline or obedience, when of course we are first time learners with no previous experience. He also would speak negatively about the other people in our group when they weren’t present. He taught the skills wonderfully, but also talked to us in a very patronizing way about life, as if we were idiots. He also willingly said he could bring my GoPro out into the water and take videos for us, and then told us he deserved a tip for it. Overall the experience was good and we enjoyed the lesson, but if you are sensitive or just don’t want to be talked down to, I would recommend looking for another company.

Alberto will Surf you from A to B. Its in his name.
To learn the skills for surfing and have a great session of waves Alberto is your man! He made sure I was in the right spot at the exact moment. Returned the mext day for a second session and saw my skills continue to improve.

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Surf Lessons in Lima: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lima.
How much does Surf Lessons in Lima cost?
+
Prices start at $32 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 Surf Lessons in Lima take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Lima is not rushed.
Is Surf Lessons in Lima worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 114 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 Surf Lessons in Lima?
+
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 in Lima suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Surf Lessons in Lima?
+
Around 40 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Surf Lessons in Lima 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 Premium Paracas & Huacachina Day Trip from Lima with Sunset Toast, Discover Lima: Love Park, Historic Center, and its Catacombs., Paracas & Huacachina Premium Experience from Lima. 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.
What is included in Surf Lessons in Lima?
+
Included: All necessary equipment; Surf lesson; and Instructor. Not included: Alcoholic drinks (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Surf Lessons in Lima?
+
Ask for Team Surf Peru ( Alberto) at Rustica main entrance. On summer time we open a tent at sandy beach LOS YUYOS right across public bathrooms. WhatsApp +51997283438 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Surf Lessons in Lima offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Surf Lessons in Lima?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Surf Lessons in Lima wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
