I went surfing for the first time and had such a great experience! The instructors were super professional, patient, and really helpful the entire time. At first, I honestly thought I wasn’t going to get the hang of it, but with their guidance and a little practice, I actually did! It just goes to show practice really does make perfect. Definitely recommend if you’re thinking about trying it out!

The area we went to surf...

Sophia_F, Jul 2026
The area we went to surf had red flags....do not enter. The instructions made all my kids feel safe and knew the rip tide and even made sure others not in the group were safe. They were all certified life guards and locals that knew their stuff. The kids had plenty of time to surf. The provided granola bars and water for break. Even their excitement when finding a full sand dollar showed me how much they love their beaches! Thank you for making our kids feel safe.

Super fun!!!

Wonderful Experience!

Rebecca_H, Apr 2026
The staff members were very friendly and energetic! They are also very knowledgeable about the location, rip tides and made sure everyone felt safe at all times. Upon arrival and check in, instructions began promptly so we could make the most of our time. There was a short break half way through, water and a snack were provided before we finished off the end of the lesson. Overall, it was a blast! Highly recommend!

Best experience of my trip!!!

This surf experience has always been in my bucket list and I’m so happy I finally got to do it!! I would definitely recommend anyone visiting Luquillo to go surfing here! Our instructor was friendly, kind and very patient! If I visit again this will be the first thing I do here!

Wonderful surfing lesson

Jan_M, Mar 2026
Great lesson. We had some rough water but they provided plenty of support and made the whole thing both informative and fun.

Disappointing

Jason_J, Feb 2026
Somehow, I was charged for a surf lesson that never happened very disappointing experience. We booked a lesson and tried to adjust the time however the teacher was not available, so we paid for lessons we never received. This was a very disappointing experience.

Just do it!

Callie_E, Feb 2026
This is a fantastic beach for beginners! Everyone in our group caught at least 1 wave. Angel was a great instructor, even those of us who had never surfed before were standing up within an hour

Amazing surf lesson with Ramos & Claire!

Marilou_T, Feb 2026
I absolutely loved my surf lesson with Ramos and Claire! From the very beginning, I felt 100% supported. They are both incredibly patient, encouraging, and genuinely want you to succeed and have fun. They took the time to explain things clearly, gave personalized tips to help me improve, and constantly cheered me on in the water. Even when I wiped out or felt unsure, they stayed calm, positive, and motivating — which made a huge difference. A big bonus: they also took photos, so I have amazing memories from the experience (and proof I actually stood up on the board 😄). Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to improve your technique, this surf lesson is absolutely worth it. Great energy, great teaching, and an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend surfing with Ramos and Claire!

We had a great time at the beach with our instructors! More importantly we all felt safe in the water and learned something new. Thanks!

A must-do experience in Luquillo!

Kim_B, Dec 2025
Amazing! If you are in the Luquillo area, you should do this. So fun and doable for all ages. It is a small business run by a woman, so supporting her and her fantastic employees felt good. All 6 of us had some level of success.

Brandon_R, May 2025
My kids ages 11 through 19 had a blast under the instruction of Sebastian and Claire. Instructions were clear and safety was the top priority. The pictures and video Claire took from the water and airdropped to me were an added bonus. Both instructors were so friendly and patient. Highly recommend!

This was such a fun experience - the islands are gorgeous and the crew is incredible!! We plan on booking with them again when we are back in PR.

Great experience for beginners

Jessica_E, Apr 2025
Great lesson for beginners, allowed for lots of opportunities to surf. Would have preferred a board for each participant and more one-on-one instruction.

Amazing experience

Terrie_W, Apr 2025
Such a great experience. My husband and kids had a blast. The instructors were great and encouraging! We can’t wait to come back and surf again!

You can do it!

LaRonna_H, Mar 2025
My 2 daughters (23 & 21) took lessons. They both picked it up fast! They got to ride a lot of waves in. There were 8 people in the group and 2 people shared a surf board. This was good, because it was exhausting! The short break while the other one went was always much needed and appreciated! The instructors did a great job! I highly recommend this!

Great time surfing

Melissa_D, Mar 2025
The guides were super patient and worked to get everyone up on their boards. My kids LOVED this activity. I highly recommend!

Great Experience

The beach was perfect for surfing, but has a serious rip current. The instructor was very helpful, informative and attentive. Great for all ages.
