5.00This was the perfect excursion from the cruise. They picked us up right at the port, had boards and wetsuits ready, and took us to a gorgeous beach with gentle waves for beginners. Such a fun way to try something new while visiting Mexico.

5.00I joined the Private Surfing Lesson in Ensenada with a couple of friends, and wow — what an amazing day! I had never surfed before, and honestly, I was a little nervous, but my friends talked me into it... and I’m so glad they did. The guides were patient, encouraging, and made the whole experience feel fun and safe from the moment we were picked up at the port. They gave clear, beginner-friendly instruction and stayed right with us in the water to help us catch waves — I actually stood up! The location was beautiful, the vibes were great, and I left the beach grinning ear to ear. Highly recommend this tour for anyone curious about surfing, even if you’ve never touched a board before. I think I might be hooked now!
Wonderful

5.00Do it. This was the tail end of our cruise. It was the highlight after 2 days in Cabo. The surf instructors went hard the whole time to get us all up on surfboards. The beach is great, the waves are great.
Super great people, and an excellent experience!

5.00We've always been interested in trying out surfing, and boy was this the right place to get started! Our surf instructor was very kind and fun. He explained things very well, and we were able to get up several times to ride some of the waves! He would help us get to a good spot to wait for a wave, and then he'd give us a boost to actually catch the wave. He did this the whole time for both my wife and I. They provided all the boards, wet suits, and changing areas necessary.
