As a newbie to surfing I had a lesson on my first day with Oppo. Great instructor with simple and easy feedback which made me catch waves on the first day already. The days after I tried multiple boards and received great advise in between the sessions from everyone at the school. Great environment, friendly people and everyone is willing to help you with surfing - and non-surfing related questions! Can totally recommend and will definitely come back ❤️

I’ve always wanted to learn how to surf. Cabarete Surf Company is the best. I took 3 lessons with Orlando (who was fabulous) and am well on my way. Everyone here is relaxed, encouraging and very good at what they do. They have a good selection of gear. Lessons and rentals include shoes and rash guards which is nice. There are places to practice on land in the shade and food and drink options close by. Great for kids and adults. Solo or group.

Elizabeth was very responsive and helped set up our taxi from the cruise port. Orlando and Daniel were our surf instructors. They were patient and had us surfing quickly. We were able to hang out on the beach and surf by ourselves for the rest of the day after the lesson. Safety was no concern. 10/10 experience! Highly recommend!
Fantastic locally run company!

Excellent group of people. Organized and friendly. The instructors quickly get a sense of ability and know just how much to challenge you. It is important to support small businesses run by locals in the country.
