“Great experience from start to finish. I booked via Viator. Pickup was timely and in an air conditioned private van. Got to the beach, had a quick 5 minute lesson on the beach, stored our bags in a locked room and off we went. Our surf group had a total of 7 people - each surfer had their OWN instructor. It was 1 on 1 the entire lesson which was nice. 45 minutes of surfing, 15 mins break - fresh mangos and coconuts on the beach, and then another 45 minutes of surfing. The instructors are all very nice and accomodating to your needs. They usually just push you when…”

“Nous avons passé une super journée . Mais l’annonce parle d’un catamaran … ce n’est vraiment pas le cas. Nous étions dans un bateau a moteur entassé les un sur les autres. Aucune boisson ou breuvage sur le bateau . Et tous avec notre flotte de sécurité . Contrairement au vrai catamaran où tous pouvaient boire et danser sans contrainte . Breuvage: coke , sprite ou orangeade avec du rhum. C’est tout . Repas très bon! Sanctuaire des tortues … il pourrait retirer cette supposé activité … mais la visite du village est interessante .”

“Rudi was an excellent host. He really made the experience. Very different to any other excursion we’ve done elsewhere. All really enjoyed it. Suitable for all ages. Our party ranged from 30-88 and all found it enjoyable. Transportation was excellent. Arrived a couple of minutes late but nice air conditioned van and very kind to our grandmother who is hard of walking. Nothing was rushed. Really good communication ahead of time via WhatsApp and email. If you’re in Punta Cana, would highly recommend. Had about 20 mins to shop as the chocolate cooled, which was a nice touch. But nothing pushy. The chocolate is delicious, too!!”

“The Macao Surf Camp team ran a very nice outing for my son and myself. They were able to easily pick us up at our resort in the Bavaro region of Punta Cana and take us to Macao Beach which was beautiful and warm. The instructor to surfer ratio was 1 to 1 with additional helpers to assist you with paddling your board back out into the waves for another round. The beach has a section with quieter waves for learning and larger waves for anyone that has developed more skill for the next time they want to try. The team was very professional and dropped us off back at…”
