    Surf lesson with Guillermo

    This was offered as 3 days, but I only had one day available in our schedule and wanted to do it anyway. We were a group of 5 women 2 with some experience, 4 of us 55+ with no experience. The trip begins with a one mile walk/hike to the beach & surf shed. I obviously didn’t pay close enough attention to the excursion description because I didn’t realize it was that long of a walk over varied terrain, and wore the wrong shoes. I did 95% of the walk in bare feet which was OK because I’m accustomed to walking barefoot a lot however the last bit over the pointy little rocks is where I drew the line and then had to ruin my shoes with my muddy feet. Guillermo made sure We all understood the surfing etiquette as well as safety rules for being out on the water with our boards. Next he took us through the basics on land, of how to properly align yourself on your board, and move from a paddling position to standing confidently. In the water we split into two groups so we all had a enough personalized attention. We all came away from the day successfully riding a few waves and most importantly having fun. Guillermo made the day enjoyable, joking with us the entire day - and teaching us to respect the board/water but also to let loose and have some fun. I would definitely go back and do this again - and would say it was one of the highlights (although there were many) on this (my 2nd visit) to Costa Rica My only regret was leaving my phone locked in the surf shed. I think it would have been perfectly safe on the beach, and I wish I had at least one picture of some of us riding a wave.

    The best beginner surf experience

    It was the best place to learn the beauty of surfing at a nice beach break. He was the chill and friendly guy you would expect to be a surf coach and he really tries to teach surfing to learn long term. The fruit was great and fresh and the perfect snack in between waves. You don’t need to worry about any of your stuff since he has a cabin to store it safely. And after the surf you hit the fresh water showers in the nature. Awesome experience, great guy and definitely will give him a visit if I am back. Pura Vida

    Laughs, Good Vibes, and Surfing

    My two friends and I had an amazing time with Guillermo as our instructor. We did 3 days of surfing in a row with him and his other instructor - 2 days on playa grande and 1 day on playa hermosa. We leveled up from total beginners to almost intermediate surfers in that short time under his tutelage. I cannot say enough good things about Guillermo--he not only has a fantastic sense of humor, but is also very concerned about his students safety, and is an incredible teacher. I highly recommend this surf school if you're interested in learning and want to spend some time on the amazing waves around the Nicoya peninsula.

    Stood up on the 1st lesson!

    Guillermo really knows how to transmit that relaxed yet confident surfer vibe that is so necessary for catching waves. He is a seasoned surfer and surf instructor and knows how to break down the sport into very learnable steps. I started out with no previous experience and stood up on the board on the very first day! He is encouraging, fun and knowledgeable. The school has a great collection of boards that can take you from rank beginner all the way up to intermediate and beyond. Guillermo guides you step by step so that every lesson is a success. I have been taken regular classes with him for 4 months and can now consider myself an intermediate surfer. Guillermo still has much to teach me. I recommend him highly for all level surfers. Whether you have time for a 3 - 5 class package or more, you will have a great surfing experience.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review it was a pleasure to have you here with us taking regular surfing lessons!!! I hope we can keep going further on your surf experience. Saludos

    Three days of Group Surf lessons in Montezuma: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Three days of Group Surf lessons in Montezuma cost?

    +

    Prices start at $210 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puntarenas usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Three days of Group Surf lessons in Montezuma take?

    +

    Plan for about 72 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 Puntarenas is not rushed.

    Is Three days of Group Surf lessons in Montezuma worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puntarenas, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Three days of Group Surf lessons in Montezuma?

    +

    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 Three days of Group Surf lessons in Montezuma suitable for kids and families?

    +

    How far in advance should I book Three days of Group Surf lessons in Montezuma?

    +

    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 Puntarenas 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 Puntarenas and add a light layer if any part of the 72-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Three days of Group Surf lessons in Montezuma start and how do I get there?

    +

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 Puntarenas?

    +

    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 Puntarenas?

    +

    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.
