Jaco Costa Rica Surfing for Families and Groups
Planning Jaco Costa Rica surfing for your family, friends or a group trip? How group lessons work, what's included and how to book.
Surfing together is one of the best shared experiences of a Costa Rica trip.
Why Groups Love It
- Everyone learns together and cheers each other on.
- Group lessons are $75 per person, which is easier on a trip budget.
- Snacks, water, soda and beer are included for after the session.
Mixed Abilities
Groups often mix first-timers with people who have surfed before. Instructors adapt, and the location is chosen for the conditions and the group. Some members may prefer a private lesson ($140) instead.
Families
Families are welcome. Tell us about any children when you book so we can plan the lesson.
Logistics
- Transportation is available, which helps groups staying in Los Sueños, Herradura or Playa Hermosa.
- Surfing photos can capture the whole group.
- A 20% deposit reserves your spot; cash and cards are accepted.
