This was my second trip with Del Mar Surf Camp (first time Jaco) and as with the first trip we had a great time!! Nosara was beautiful and Angie, Andrei and Jessie took excellent care of us.

Signed up at the last minute with lessons with Jesse and I was super impressed. Very professional and safety conscious while also getting you out on the water and up on a surfboard quickly. My only regret was that I didn't have enough time to build on my skills. Would have loved to do their 5 day camp.

After two years of being still a beginner surfer Jesse with Del Mar Surf Camp has taken my surfing to the next level. I could not have asked for a better instructor.

We stayed at Casa Romantica and booked lessons with Del Mar through the hotel. The whole experience was great. Our instructor Jesse, was very friendly and knowledgeable. It wasn't long before my wife and I were catching waves. I would highly recommend Del Mar. An all around great experience. Can't wait to go back.

This was my second experience with Del Mar Surf Camp (the first one was in Hermosa Beach) and they have yet to disappoint. I spent five days in Nosara and didn't have to worry about anything. Angie took care of every detail, Adriana was the perfect guide, and Jesse was the best surf instructor I've had! My surfing improved each... More

Fernando was our instructor and for first time surfers we had a blast! He was very instructive and encouraging. We really appreciated the way he wanted us to enjoy surfing as much as he did.

Pack light. You'll only need a few quick trying clothing items. No long pants. Bring flip flops and a camera. Lots of sun screen. DelMar was welcoming, helpful and flexible. Surf lessons were matched to our skill level and just challenging enough. We felt safe. Very friendly staff all around. Highly recommend this camp!
