My husband and I went to Punta Cana for vacation May 12-17, 2012. We have always wanted to try surfing, and I could not be happier with our choice to use Coast Riders! It was perfect for us! Danny was a great instructor. We each had our own instructor, but he was the main one. Both of us were able... More

My wife and I had the pleasure of surfing under the awesome instruction of Danilo. We were both able to ride plenty of waves under his watchful eye. He gave knowledgeable feedback and helped us to gain confidence in our ability. He was a great guide as well by picking us up right from the resort and driving us to... More

My day was wasted along with the 80$ they charged. Ive taken surfing lessons before and this one was subpar. They had me on the same board as a 60 pound girl. I weigh 210 pounds. Therefore it was not sized properly and I had a hard time getting up. 2 other guys my siZe were there too and neither... More

Danilos and... More

When I inquired with the concierge at our resort about a surfing excursion, I did not know what to expect. Having grown up around surfing, I was hesitant to use a local guide for any instruction or assistance. However, I am so thankful I was referred to Danito "Dani". Dani made sure I had the most memorable experience possible during... More
