What Makes This Surf Experience Special?
This tour is a clear departure from the typical crowded surf spots. Instead of fighting for space at popular beaches, you’ll venture out into quieter areas where the waves are more consistent and the scenery more dramatic. The private nature of this expedition means your group gets undivided attention, which can be a game-changer for surfers looking to refine techniques or just enjoy a relaxed ride.
The local guides are a major advantage. Their deep knowledge of Baja’s many hidden surf spots means they know exactly where to go depending on conditions. They won’t waste your precious vacation time hunting for surfable waves, allowing you to maximize your time on the water.
From the reviews, we see that guides like Jason are praised highly—”an awesome surfer and fantastic instructor,” as one reviewer noted. That kind of expertise translates into a safer, more enjoyable experience, especially when chasing remote breaks that are less predictable than city beaches.
The Day Itself: What to Expect

The tour lasts approximately 5 hours, making it a manageable half-day adventure. You’ll start at the meeting point in San Jose del Cabo, where your guide will pick you up in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. Transportation is key here; Baja’s landscape is rugged, and the roads to these hidden surf spots are often remote, so having a dedicated vehicle makes a significant difference.
Once on the road, expect a scenic drive that takes you away from town and into quieter, more natural settings. Along the way, you’ll have access to bottled water, healthy snacks, and fruits—important for keeping energy levels high during the surf session.
When you arrive at your surf break, the guide will set up shade and chairs—so you can relax between sets. If the season calls for it, wetsuits or rash guards are included, helping you stay comfortable in varying water temperatures.
The Surfing Itself
The waves you’ll find are generally off-the-beaten-path, often empty, providing a more intimate experience. Since this is geared toward surfers with experience, expect quality, consistent waves that match your skill level. The focus is on fun, quality rides rather than big crowds or beginner lessons.
One reviewer mentioned how thrilling it was to surf “such a gorgeous setting,” emphasizing that this experience is as much about enjoying Baja’s natural beauty as it is catching waves. The remote locations also mean stunning ocean views that make every ride feel like a mini-escape.
Post-Surf Comforts
After your session, you’ll return to the original meeting point, refreshed and perhaps a little sun-kissed. All equipment, including soft boards, is included, so you don’t need to worry about bringing your own gear unless you prefer to. Tips and gratuities aren’t included, so consider rewarding your guide if you had a great time.
Is This Tour Worth the Price?

At $210 per person, this tour offers substantial value, especially considering it includes all necessary gear, transportation, snacks, and personalized service. For experienced surfers looking to avoid crowds and discover Baja’s best-kept secrets, it’s a worthwhile investment. The private nature means fewer people and a more tailored experience, which you might not find in larger, group surf lessons.
Compared to the cost of renting a car and hunting for surf spots independently, this guided trip saves you time and effort. Plus, the expertise of local guides can make the difference between a good day and a great one—especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area.
Who Should Consider This?

This experience is best suited for experienced surfers comfortable with moderate physical activity. It’s not designed for beginners, since the waves are suited for those with enough skill to handle more than gentle rollers. If you’re seeking a quiet, personal surf outing in Baja with knowledgeable guides and access to pristine, undiscovered waves, this tour hits the mark.
Travelers who value authentic, scenic environments and want to get away from crowded beaches will find this experience particularly appealing. It’s also ideal for those who appreciate comfort—air-conditioned transport, shade, and snacks are all provided, making the day enjoyable regardless of weather.
