Too Young to Be Surfing Instructors
Emmee_N
, Jun 2022
Instructors are very teenager- young. I overheard the other young Instructors betting that I wouldn’t last and they were hoping to end my session early.
I would have preferred adult for this session. I asked to take a break and it seems like the young instructor lacked compassion. It kept asking me if I wanted to end my session because I wanted a break., which is not cool.
The website said they had professional instructors but all I saw were kids as instructors who lacked professionalism.
What a thrill!

The staff and trainers were friendly and worked with all of us to catch a wave and surf. All 5 of us rookies were able to ride a wave.
Great Morning!

The only reason my review isn’t five stars was because of lack of waves. Other than that, it was five stars! Skyler was super helpful and fun, Hans took excellent care of my daughter, we both enjoyed the morning and appreciated the time we had with our team! Thanks for making the most of a waveless morning!
Great experience

Professional and cordial. They called me the day before appt because the wave condition was expected to be too calm. I changed the date. Then I was still given the option of canceling on the spot with full refund. I went ahead and lesson was still great for the first half. Wave died down later but I was very satisfied. Highly recommended!
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
