Overflowing with enthusiasm and warmth. They made everyone feel genuinely welcomed and turned learning about another culture into something truly special. An amazing, thoughtfully, and beautifully crafted instructor. I also loved meeting so many fellow solo travelers.

      An Unforgettable Family Bomba Experience

      Delilah_R, Apr 2026
      We had such an amazing time doing a Bomba in Puerto Rico! 🇵🇷 My two younger daughters (7 & 8) joined, along with my 76-year-old mother-in-law, and it truly was fun for all ages. The instructor were patient, engaging, and made everyone feel comfortable right away. We learned four basic Bomba rhythms and routines, and it was such a beautiful way to connect with our culture, music, and movement. 💃🏽🥁 Highly recommend this experience for families it was educational, interactive, and so much fun.

      It was OK

      Kathryn_K, Mar 2026
      Good things: the first instructor was very knowledgeable, there was a live drummer, the instructor took tons of pictures and videos. Not so good: the class started 30 minutes late and ended 30 minutes late, it was Very fast-paced, and our group was very crowded.

      Beautiful Sunset view...

      raquel_C, Feb 2026
      Beautiful Sunset view well enjoying a history of Bomba. Instructor and musician were super knowledgeable and encouraging.

      Do Not Book

      Marisa_S, Dec 2025
      Whatever you do, don’t book this tour. This tour company is probably a scam. No one showed up to the class and no one has responded to any of my messages including the ones sent by Viator. Do not book a class with this company. It’s a shame because I really wanted to take this class with my mom and we weren’t able to because no one came.

      Soulful dance

      Yolanda_S, Dec 2025
      This was an excellent showcase of culture, history & dance. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

      Bomba class by the beach

      Lilba_D, Dec 2025
      Must try class if you would like to learn about puertorican culture. The view, the teacher, the class were amazing. The teacher is very knowledgeable and will have you dancing bomba in a matter of minutes.

      Great Cultural Learning Experience

      Tamara_B, Dec 2025
      The Bomba dance class was infused with the historical context of the origins of Bomba in Puerto Rico and the evolution of Bomba. This was coupled with a great dance instructor and drummer.

      So much fun!!!

      Tiffany_P, Nov 2025
      I enjoyed this experience thoroughly. The dance instructor was informative and entertaining. She challenged us a bit. We laughed a lot. This was definitely a class that anyone could enjoy!

      Paris_P, Oct 2025
      Really loved this experience. Learning not only the dance, but the history behind it was great. We danced right on the beach and had a great time.

      A wonderful way to end...

      Jada_M, Oct 2025
      A wonderful way to end our trip. Afro Bomba was so much fun for me and my family. The instructor and live drumming were very pleasant. And to top it off class was held with a beautiful sunset.

      Worth it
