4.2-Hour Surf Lesson in the Waves of Puerto Escondido

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 177 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Review of Silva Surf School’s 2-hour Puerto Escondido lesson, with beginner-friendly coaching, flexible beach choice, equipment, tips, and GoPro options.

“Had an amazing time yesterday on the water. I skate and always wanted to learn how to surf. Instructor Oni picked us up in La punta and took us to a spot where the waves were better and no other surfers our tourists. After learning pop up techniques and few times wiping out I finally caught a few waves! He was a great instructor and this is an awesome experience for sure! I recommend bringing a bottle of water.”
