The Experience

Learn to surf on the calm, uncrowded waves of Papagayo Gulf — your private surf classroom reached by boat directly from your Guanacaste resort. This 2.5-hour beginner surf lesson at Iguanitas Beach is the ideal introduction to surfing in Costa Rica. Your certified surf guide will teach you to paddle, position yourself on the board, and catch your first real waves safely and confidently. Pickup is scheduled according to the day's low tide to guarantee the best wave conditions. No experience required.
