Our instructor, Junior was awesome. He was personable, patient, friendly and gave great instruction.
Awesome experience for our group of 10 surfing with the guides at Iguana! Great instructors who were very helpful getting us up on the boards. Lots of fun! Highly recommend!
Thank you so much! We're thrilled your group had such a great time surfing with us. It was a pleasure getting everyone up on the boards, and we're so glad you had so much fun together. Thanks for the recommendation! We hope to see all 10 of you back for more waves, you're welcome back anytime! 🤙🌊
Excellent experience and very good attention from the staff, especially from Oscar and Luca. I will return
¡Muchísimas gracias por tus palabras! 😊 Fue un verdadero gusto recibirte. De parte de Oscar y Luca, gracias por confiar en nosotros. ¡Te esperamos de vuelta muy pronto para más olas y buenos momentos! 🤙🌊
Had a great time doing a surf lesson in Tamarindo. My son (18) and I (57) are beginning surfers, and our lesson was with Chalo. Chalo was great - very helpful and clear about how to get started - some instructions on the beach and then we were quickly in the water. Chalo was a huge help in getting us set up to catch waves and both of use were able to stand up and surf. My son had a great time and wanted to go surfing again the next day. Highly recommended (ask for Chalo!) and a great value for your money.
Thanks so much for the awesome review! 🤙 We’re so happy you and your son had such a great time surfing with Chalo! It’s amazing to hear you both were catching waves and standing up in your first lesson. 🏄♂️🌊 We’ll definitely share your kind words with Chalo. Hope to see you both back in the water soon! Pura vida! 🌴😊

Rigo is an OUTSTANDING surf instructor! First visit to Tamarindo, and our grandson wanted a surf lesson. We booked a private lesson with Rigo who had our grandson riding waves within minutes. It was the best adventure ever according to our grandson!
