Simply a phenomenal experience! I had been involved heavily ( when younger ) sailing, windsurfing, scuba diving my entire life but had yet to surf. at 48 I decided to bring my daughter 10, and friends daughters 9 & 12. all the kids were apprehensive to say the least. But once they hit that first wave it was all smiles... More

Amazing experience, especially since it was my first time. It would probably enhance the experience if the people helping could brush up on their English, just so they can tell us how to improve when there's something we're doing wrong.

We went to Macao Surf Camp on 5/1. Gustavo picked us up and Jack was in the back seat! (Jack is a surfing golden retriever, and the sweetest thing!) Once we arrived at Macao beach we got ready for our lesson. It was a quick lesson and at first I was nervous to get in the water, but we each... More

I was determined to go surfing at the Macao surf camp after reading nothing but amazing reviews on trip advisor. I was on the trip with a large group for a wedding and was hoping to get a deal because I knew there would other people interested. I booked my trip through the guy at the resort with a group...

Daniel picked us up at our hotel and my husband and daughter thought this was the best thing we did while visiting the DR. Daniel told us great stories and the entire staff were very helpful and friendly. Jack kept me company on the beach and we had a blast! Highly recommend. Bring sunscreen and water!

Actually it was June 2011 that I did the Macao Surf Camp. Back then, it wasn't even on Trip Advisor to review or as an activity to do. To even know about it it was word of mouth, find the email off someone else's review, and contact them directly to set it up. Now they have a website, and it's... More

I just turned 51 and have always wanted to surf but never had the chance. I've been reading Trip Advisor for a couple of years and all the reviews for Macao Surf were very positive. So when I had a chance i booked. Gustavo and "Jack the surfing dog" picked me up at my hotel. After the initial group class... More

On a girls get away vacation with 6 friends. We stayed at Dreams Punta Cana (awesome). One friend had surf camp on her "bucket list." They picked up all six of us and charged a nominal transportation fee for the 5 of us that were not surfing. The entire team was wonderful. Rafael was extremely professional, yet personable. They cooked... More

Macao Surf Camp http://macaosurfcamp.com/ was a great experience. Rafael was very accommodating as our group decided on which day to surf. He sent over a driver / van to pick us up for the 15 minute ride from our hotel. Once there, Rafael greeted us like old friends - gave us instructions – said a small prayer – and sent... More

I just can't say enough good things about this experience! I learned about Macao Surf Camp on TripAdvisor several months ago when my girlfriends and I booked our trip to Punta Cana. I sent them the link and said I definitely wanted to go because I had always wanted to surf. None of them really were interested. When the trip... More
