Travel guide

Planning a Surf Lesson from Los Sueños

Although Los Sueños is more well known for its marina, sport fishing, and resort facilities than for surfing, travellers in the area who wish to take part in surf lessons generally turn to Jacó and to other beaches in the Central Pacific, since surf schools and lessons for beginners are much better established there.

Where surf lessons take place

For many tourists staying in the area around Los Sueños and Playa Herradura, Jacó is the most sensible choice since the town offers a number of surf schools, board rental services, and instructors who work with both beginner and intermediate surfers.

It does not follow that each of the activities listed for the Los Sueños area begins at the Los Sueños Resort & Marina; make sure to check the meeting point and verify if transport from your hotel or accommodation is provided.

Beginner vs. private lessons

Those people who are surfing for the first time should choose an instructor who is able to select wave conditions suitable to their skill level. When taking beginner lessons, the basic aspects of ocean safety, paddling, positioning and standing technique are usually taught before entering the water.

Private lessons allow for more one-to-one attention, whereas small-group lessons can give better value when couples, families, or friends are learning together.

What to check before booking

Check the length of the lessons, the number of people in each group, the equipment provided, the meeting point, transportation, the cancellation policy, and the most recent reviews. Make sure to note whether surfboard rental is included and whether the company offers pickup at Los Sueños or Playa Herradura.

The surf conditions are influenced by the swell, the tide, the weather, and the particular beach; accordingly, the operators might make changes to when or where the lesson takes place.

The prices listed on this page are the initial rates offered through Viator and may vary depending on the date, the number of people in the group, the type of lesson and availability. It is advisable to check the final meeting point and the details of the tour before making a booking.
