I had been wanting to go surfing for a few years, and I finally got around to doing it with this private tour. I’m so glad I did because it was one of the coolest experiences I’ve ever had in my entire life! Fernando was an excellent instructor, being kind, passionate, and patient at the same time.

He brought us to a secluded portion of the beach in Punta Mita. The only other people there besides us were a few other surfers. It was beautiful and a great environment to concentrate in as a beginner. The day we went, the waves were rougher and larger than usual, but Fernando really went the extra mile to help us out and ensure we got the best beginner waves to practice with. He was really good at reading what type of waves were coming and he stayed out in the ocean to help us as my group took turns riding waves. His explanations were also very clear and easy to follow, and he gave us tips on our form each time we went out.

Afterwards, he took us on a local tour of Sayulita and we had an awesome time. For $69 a person, this experience was way above and beyond what we were expecting. Fernando was such a down to earth guy, it was easy to spend nearly the whole day with him. I couldn’t recommend this tour highly enough. If you’re looking for something fun, exciting, unique, and beautiful (with some local flare), this tour is the perfect fit for you. It was AMAZING! Thanks again, Fernando, for giving me the best memories of my vacation! You rock!

My husband and I found Fernando after searching through many surfing lessons in Puerto Vallarta. He had the best ratings and reviews and for a good reason. He was calm, cool, supportive, fun and took us to a wonderful restaurant afterward in Sayulita which was a beautiful spot. Thanks Fernando!

This was so much fun, I would recommend this experience to anyone. We met Fernando at his office in Puerto Vallarta, walking distance from our place, and he drove us to the spot to pick up our surf boards and hike down to the beach. After a quick educational session on the beach (we were all first timers so he needed to teach us everything), we got in the water where he stood and pushed us so we could try to catch our first waves. When we were ready to try paddling for ourselves he coached us so we started paddling at the right time and gave advice when we fell. By the end of the day we had all caught our own waves and were exhausted. On our way back to town we stopped in Sayulita for lunch, Fernando offered to hang out while we explore the town but unfortunately we had to get back so we didn't have time to do that. After lunch, Fernando drove us back to Puerto Vallarta and because it started raining pretty hard he brought us right up to our airbnb. Overall it was an excellent experience, he really showed us a great time.

The best part, in my opinion, was that it didn't feel like we had any set timeline or constraints. At one point I asked him how much time we had left so I could gauge whether or not I had enough time to take a break and still get back in the water to surf before we left, but he said we could stay as long as we wanted. This was a truly great experience for a very good price, I will definitely be booking this again if I end up back in PV.

Absolutely the best experience on trip. This tour is the real deal, you are actually up in the mountains which I didn't expect. You can stop at any time to take pictures but I personally suggest just to get a few and enjoy the ride and soak up the views. It rained during our tour which I loved! The bar is really cute, pricing for drinks is reasonable.

JC was our guide he was so patient and understanding, we had 1 member who was afraid and not loving it. He put her on the ATV with him so the rest of us could continue our trip. We all had a great time. Beautiful ride.Thanks JC for a fun day!!
