You can't go wrong with Iguana Surf Shop! Just returned from our second trip to Tamarindo and already planning our next trip back! The entire team at Iguana is tremendous -- incredibly friendly, helpful and accommodating. Everyone is great, but I suggest you ask to work with David and Manrique -- they take wonderful care of you, making sure you... More

Hello, I had to write to you about Bimbo. He was responsible for my first surf lesson in December. Becasue he was so outstanding in his instruction, I was up on the board in no time. My friends and I adore Tamarindo, Bimbo and the whole Iguana team. So much so that we came back in April. Bimbo is an... More

We signed up for surf lessons. We were a big group. Ages 9 to adult. They instructers were great. The people running the shop were also great. Everyone had a lot fun and most of us got up. It was a choppy day. They arranged a pick and drop off from out hotel, arranged the lessons at a reasonable price.... More

When we arrived in Costa Rica we knew we wanted to surf, but weren't sure where to rent boards. We asked at our hotel and they recommended Iguana Surf. The prices were reasonable, as well as a good selection of boards for all different abilities. The guys were friendly and certainly made us feel welcomed from the first time we... More

I went here as a stop on my tour of Costa Rica and they were really helpful. It was my first time surfing and they were all really great instructors because they explained everything thoroughly, but didn't take forever to do it. After the 2 hours I was able to ride waves all the way to the beach and my... More

I'm hooked on surfing now! I thought I'd learn how to surf, but didn't expect to ride so many waves on my first attempt at surfing! David was the instructor. Kinda aloof at first, but turned out to be really patient, helpful, and encouraging. I wasn't ready for the large waves yet so he patiently waited for the right one... More

The staff as Iguana Surf was terrific. With 2 adults and 5 children we had two instructors for two hours. It was a busy day at the beach and they stuck closely to us. They were patient and encouraging. Even the little ones (9 and 10) were not discouraged and we all had at least one successful run. Iguana Surf... More

I'm writing this review to let everyone know just how helpful this staff (Megan & Christiano) was during our day's stay in Tamarindo. We had all intentions of our daughters taking surf lessons, however, due to us losing our credit card & some money early in our day, we were unable to do so. We went into the shop to... More

Myself and a group of friends (9) headed to Tamar to try our luck at surfing. We booked through our resort and we lucked out and received the Iguana surf shop as our outfitter and for instructors. We did about 30mins or so of instruction on the beach on how to stand up, balance, paddling, how to find a wave,... More
