$60–$150
$60-150 per person

People keep asking if surfing is worth the money ($60-150 per person). Having seen dozens of visitors do this, here's the honest answer.

Peak season (December-April) means higher prices and more crowds. Book 3-5 days ahead for popular tours. Off-season often has same-day availability and 15-30% lower prices.

Book direct with operators when possible — hotel tour desks and aggregator sites mark up 20-40%. Ask your concierge for operator names, then book direct.

Most tours include pickup from your hotel or a central meeting point, all equipment or supplies needed, and bilingual guides. Lunch or snacks are common on half-day+ tours.

Pro tip from locals: avoid Sundays when cruise passengers flood the marina.
