    Amazing teacher!

    Julio easily explained the steps needed to get me in the water as soon as possible! Charming personality, and a fun guy all around. 10/10!

    Great Experience with Julio!

    Booked a surf lesson with Julio for me and my family. We did have to message him the day before to see when we were going to meet, but he responded promptly. The five of us had all surfed once or twice over the past 10 years, but are definitely beginners. Julio started off by giving us easy to follow steps on getting up on the board, and had us practice on the beach. After 5 minutes we were in the water and Julio helped us read the waves and when to paddle/get up and gave us immediate feedback on why we got up or not and what to focus on next time. Now I feel like I can rent a board and just go out for an hour and be semi-proficient. Definitely would recommend Julio! I bet he would be great for even intermediate to good surfers, as he knew exactly how to read the waves and what to do.

    Look no further than Julio-the best!

    You wont find a better surf lesson than with Julio! He is a great teacher, super patient and encouraging. We met at the gas station, got boards and surf shirts then walked to the most perfect hidden beach. The lesson was just our group (2 kids- 16 & 18). Only wish I booked this for day one not last day as we would have booked again. Julio is great! Book with him if you have the chance!!

    Beautiful beach!! Clean water.

    Julio was helpful and patient. He made it so I could remember what to do in the moment. We were successful in getting me up on the surfboard and Julio is a kind person who has a deep connection to the ocean like me 🌊

    Surfing Lessons La Lancha: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Vallarta.

    How much does Surfing Lessons La Lancha cost?

    +

    Prices start at $72 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Vallarta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Surfing Lessons La Lancha take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 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 Puerto Vallarta is not rushed.

    Is Surfing Lessons La Lancha worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Vallarta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Surfing Lessons La Lancha?

    +

    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 Surfing Lessons La Lancha suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Surfing Lessons La Lancha?

    +

    Around 4 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 Puerto Vallarta 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 Puerto Vallarta and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Surfing Lessons La Lancha 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 Puerto Vallarta 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 Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Puerto Vallarta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Winner 2026 Downtown Vallarta Food Tour with Vallarta Food Tours, Signature Taco Tour in PV with Vallarta Eats, Food & Mixology Tour:Tequila,Tacos, Mezcal and Agave 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 Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    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 Puerto Vallarta?

    +

    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.
