Macao Beach Private Surf Lessons

This beach is absolutely beautiful, and our guide was amazing! We had such a great experience overall. The only thing to be aware of is that the bathroom situation isn’t the greatest, so I’d definitely recommend bringing your own toilet paper. Otherwise, it was a wonderful experience and well worth it!

They had my son and I surfing in minutes. Never tried before and they had us going right away! Progressively doing harder and more advanced maneuvering until we were ready to be on our own. Special shoutout to Dylan the master instructor! He was amazing, patient and highly effective!!! I will never forget the experience.

Awesome lesson! The team was great! They were efficient with our time and the 2 hours in the water was more than enough, they wore us out! The equipment was great and everything provided was clean. They allowed us to store personal belongings in the surf shack which was a huge help for the morning. The team was friendly and had us catching waves in no time.

My 9 year old had a great experience learning to surf his first time. The staff was amazing in the water making the lesson an A+ experience.

The staff was awesome. The beach itself is nice. The van ride to the beach was very hot, the A/C didn’t work.

My daughter's (9 and 10 y.o.) and I took part in the two day lessons and had a blast! The whole team is excellent, very patient, giving constant support and tips during the process. All three of us were beginners, as were the three others that were doing lessons the same time we were, but Saskya and her team had everyone up on their boards very quickly! My youngest daughter was done early on the second day, but some of the crew watched her play on the beach while me and my older daughter finished the second day lesson. The waves were an excellent size for beginners and I have no regrets about the booking. We will definitely return next time we come to DR and I would recommend to anyone else that is considering learning to surf. Also, very happy we got the photo package. Their photographer did an excellent job.

My partner surfed here in Cornwall,UK before we met but I’ve never given it a go. We happened upon Macao Beach back in 2021 as part of a dune buggy excursion and fell in love with the sandy beach and azure blue ocean and I vowed to return and have a surf lesson, and March 2026, we did it! As a 50 year old with osteoarthritis in the knee, I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to stand up on the board fast enough to catch a wave but Saskya assured me that her team would get me up and surfing, and she was right! A huuuuge thank you has to go to Super Surf Instructor Bogdan who has the strength of an ox and managed somehow to get me up and surfing! I felt 100% safe and confident in the care of the instructors and each time I started to feel I needed help, they were right there looking after me. Gill, my partner was up and surfing again after about 5 minutes needing supervision only, which was great as the instructors catered to our individual abilities. If we are ever fortunate enough to return to Macao Beach, Punta Cana Surf Adventure will be our first stop. Thank you 🏄🏽‍♂️🏄🏼‍♂️

My two teenagers and I went surfing for the first time and had a great experience with Punta Cana Surf Adventure. We had transportation included with the private lessons making it very easy. Staff were friendly and helpful and we had a great time. Beautiful beach and not too busy. Surf instructors were positive, helpful, and lots of fun. Would definitely go back again.

First time surfing for the entire family. The instructors were great and we all agreed this was our favorite activity in Punta Cana

The booked lesson was 2 hours, from 11:00 to 13:00. The shuttle they sent us arrived at the surf school at 11:05. By the time we talked with them (e.g. will you buy pictures, can we leave at 2:00 instead of 1:00 pm...) and put the rash guards on, it was 11:20 when the class started. When they said “last wrinkle”, we came to the edge and asked an observer the time: he answered us 12:45! We consulted to see what we could do about this lack but as all the instructors were out of the water, the surfboards were stowed away and we had also removed our rash guards, there was an easy evil and we said nothing! In addition, all in Spanish so we had fewer weapons for our fight. General disappointment 🤬 In addition, apart from a 10 minutes of rather superficial explanation, I and two other women received only 2-3 recommendations as to which technique to improve. Instructions talk a lot with each other and very lively, they have conversations, so don't really look at our piroulettes, pass flat comments on us (I have a small Spanish repertoire) so in the end, we don’t get the assistance or advice we paid for in addition to stealing time! We paid for it .... The school is well rated but on our side, 3/4 indicated a lack in the whole process. Too bad.
