Wonderful experience! Surfing has been a bucket list item of mine. Finally got to try and so glad I went with this company. Got picked up on time and enjoyed the drive to our beach. They chose one with beginner waves. We were provided rash guards, water, and snacks. One brother spent the time video/photographing us while the other 2 helped us surf. They were so patient and helpful. They were great at introducing the steps and giving us time to practice. They provided good feedback and were with us every step of the way. So glad I used this group. The drive back was also good. Great conversation on the drive. Kalany, Jonathan, and Kristhian were fantastic instructors!

An Amazing Day Surfing!!! We had an amazing day surfing with Kristhian and his bros at Okala Vallarta Surf School. They picked us up on time at our condo and we enjoyed the drive up to La Lancha. They had all of the gear there at the beach and waiting for us when we arrived. They made learning easy and took time explaining the basics. They made sure that each of us had a great time and wanted to come back surfing! I highly recommend spending a day and learning from the guys.

GREAT FAMILY SURF DAY!!! Was looking for surf lessons for my family with three teenagers. We have no experience surfing but always wanted to try it. OKALA was just what I was looking for and I booked through TripAdvisor Okala picked us up at our hotel, drove us to the spot and after a short hike we were at a perfect beautiful beach with great waves for learning and everything was already there. Christian, his brothers, their dad and friend were awesome. They had my kids popping up and riding right away...dad took a little longer. They took pictures and videos of us all. It was a great day and then they dropped us off right back at hotel. Thanks guys. We will surf with them again next time in Puerto Vallarta.

Loved this experience as a first time surfer I took two surf lessons with Okala and would have done more if I was in Puerto Vallarta longer! They are very encouraging and allow you to enjoy the beginning process of learning to surf. They picked me up and dropped me off which made it super easy to attend. We went to a different beach for each lesson - both beautiful and with beginner appropriate conditions. I felt taken care of and not worried when in the water. I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to try surfing.

Amazing surfing experience for any level! It was amazing time, arranged with care by the awesome surfers family. We had lots of fun and successful first surfing experience of mine - these guys are super cool teachers! Everyone is very helping and supportive, you'll get lots of practice, total safety (which was extremely important for me) and great photos of you on the board! Which is really cute, as the beach is just marvellous and you're offered nice juicy shirts to surf in (which really helps). In advance, you are picked from your location exactly in time, you are offered water and snacks!

Awesome Great experience. Everything was perfect. Nice weather, waves for any surf level. Instructions, practice and tips - thank you guys a lot and see again on Friday!

Amazing surf lessons with great people! My friends and I are beginners and had an amazing time with this family, who so clearly loves surfing and teaching others. 3 brothers and their father scope out the best place to surf for your level that day; you’ll be picked up and then arrive at a white sandy beach where everything is ready to go (umbrella, chairs, water, snacks) and then each of us had a 1:1 instructor. I learned a lot and felt really safe. There’s another person also filming you, so you get some evidence of getting up on the board. So fun and friendly! Can’t wait to come back.

Super helpful and lovely for beginners Joel and his sons (and friend!) were fun, patient, and wonderful teachers for my friends and I. They are ere knowledgeable and helpful for our group of beginners, and encouraged us even when we had a hard tune getting or staying up. They took us to a beautiful secluded beach and provided lots of fuel for us. Made it super easy to learn! Would absolutely recommend.

The best personal surf lessons in Puerto Vallarta A totally awesome family run business that knows how to teach anyone at any skill level to surf. Perfect for families of all kinds and groups of friends. They personally check out multiple beaches for the best surf conditions everyday so you’re getting the best waves you can. All the beaches are nicely secluded where you can practice, swim or just relax at your leisure. The father, Joel, picks you up directly from your hotel, so you don’t have to travel anywhere yourself. They provide snacks, water, beach chairs, umbrella, and long sleeved water shirts for you already at the beach for maximum comfort. You start with going over the basics of surfing on shore and do a couple of warmups and stretches to get your mind and body ready. Then in the water each surfer gets their own teacher that helps them navigate through the water with the board. They tell you which waves are right for you and give you personalized pointers each time you stumble. I am convinced that anyone can learn to surf with these guys! Highly recommended!

These guys rock! Joel and his 3 sons were awesome! First, they pick you up and drop you off right at your hotel, which is great perk other companies don't always offer. They are locals of PV and know the area inside and out. They scoped out a nice quite private spot where other surf companies typically don't go to so its not too chaotic, which is nice when you're beginners like we were. They do it all for you and make it a super fun experience from start to finish. It was a great day and we even stopped by a local fruit stand on the way back (they insisted on paying!). I'd strongly recommend Ocala!!!
