My 19 year old daughter took a private surf lesson with Ki-ke. She learned a lot, got up the first time and had a blast. Started with getting changed and ready and a rash guard. Her dad and i hung out on beach and watched. Pictures were available for purchase afterwards. Highly recommend

Moses and Christian were great. Super friendly, cheerful and knowledgeable. We got my 73-year old mom a private lesson and she had so much fun being in the ocean. She never surfed before and she stood up and rode a wave. The crew was super helpful with our family’s board rental as well. Highly recommend this surf shop for whatever fun on the water you’re seeking. Thanks for making our day in Tamarindo so memorable.

Best experience in Tamarindo so far- surf lessons with Iguana. So much fun! The instructor was great! As a first timer, it will make you want to get out and surf more.

My two teenage daughters had a wonderful experience with Iguana Surf! Kevin was their instructor and he was great. Both girls have surfed, but wanted to learn some new tricks and tips and Kevin met them at their experience level. Also, I made the reservation for the wrong day and they were able to accommodate us at the last minute on the day that I intended. Five stars!

It was my first time surfing ever and they were so warm and welcoming! Gave me the desire to keep practicing when I get home. Thank you all again so much.

Kurt is great! Very informative, safe, and fun. It took a few tries to stand up, but felt like a great accomplishment and a check off the bucket list.

Kevin is a passionate and caring surf instructor. I had never been to a surf lesson and felt pretty nervous about my lack of surfing skills or knowledge. Kevin was clear in his instructions and extremely invested in getting us to stand up on our first wave ever! Sometimes his enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming but it’s necessary for folks who want to get serious about their surf training. 10/10 excelente servicio!

We had such a great experience with iguana surf. My husband and I took a group lesson with Kurt and he was an amazing instructor. I personally felt encouraged and empowered!

Kurt was a great instructor. Scaffolded his teaching back to where your skill level was and then brought you forward. More physically demanding activity than it looks. So much fun!!

My friend and I stayed at Iguana and did the ultimate camper package! Our instructor Luca was amazing and broke it down to make sure we were riding waves our very first day! The camper package is amazing because the hotel is on the beach and the surf shop is right underneath. Breakfast, pictures and videos were also included in the package. Oscar made sure our arrangements for rides were taken care of for excursions and to and from the airport. He was available when we had questions. The location of the hotel is perfect because there’s restaurants, shops and other beaches nearby!
