I had a great experience learning to surf with Camille and the Highlife Mexico team! From the time I booked the team was very communicative, made sure weather and conditions were appropriate for my skill level, made sure I got to and from the lesson with no issues, and helped me have fun learning to surf. Camille was a detailed and pleasant instructor, providing the perfect level of training before getting in the water, and spoke English and Spanish fluently for an integrated bilingual group. Would definitely book again to keep improving my skills!

Our first surf lesson was an amazing experience! :) We met at a playa on the eastern side of Cozumel, at a beginner friendly spot, though with a bit higher waves that time - as we were told... Despite that, the experience was fantastic, Camilla was in the water with us, helping us with the boards, with the right waves, giving us advices and tips how paddle, stand up and ride! She was very patient, always smiling, very positive :) My both kids (12yo, 17yo) enjoyed the lesson, moreover they want to go surfing on the next vacation too... and me also :) Thanks Camilla ance again for the perfect time with you and the fantastic intro to surfing! :)

This was a 10/10 experience . It was exactly what we were looking for . It’s authentic , you get a tour of the island from the drive out to the surf spot , and the instruction was excellent ! I researched among 3 companies and I hope to come back the next time I’m in Cozumel . Camilla our guide also recommended a local restaurant after dropping us off . FYI surfing is a workout. Pack some water and sunscreen . You will be exhausted after ! Epic experience !

My 12 year old son had a surf lesson in Cozumel with Camila! He has surfed in Hawaii, Colombia and Cozumel. His experience with Camila was one of his favorites! She was fluent in both English and Spanish, but due to my son being bilingual, his lesson was in Spanish. She was fun, kind, helpful and did a wonderful job! If we are ever back in Cozumel, we would book again in a heartbeat. Camila picked us up at the designated location on time and dropped is off after the lesson. She even recommended an amazing spot for lunch that we loved!

Of the best surf lessons. They passed me at the agreed time. Camilla explained step by step how we would do the class. He gave me tips that I hadn’t been given in other classes, which are super important points to keep moving forward. I really enjoyed the class. It is also rating that Camilla loves what she does and that conveys it. Great, great experience.

I thought surfing was not for me because the 2 times I tried I was ending up with something broken…until I tried the class with Camille and literally I stand up at the first try! She explained me how to do and what avoid to not get hurt…and it works!!!!! I had so much fun and now I can’t wait to try it again! Also the place is so nice, everything was just perfect! Thank you so much and see you soon!!!
