Vidasurf Ecotours Reviews

Bioluminescent tour
The bioluminescent tour was incredible. Very informative and amazing and seeing the incredible stars was an added bonus!

Beste surfleraar en tourguide van Puerto!
Ik heb meerdere surflessen en tours gedaan bij Toño. Hij is echt een super goede surf leraar en doet alles wat hij kan om je de beste tijd in Puerto te geven. Je merkt dat de andere surfers respect voor hem hebben waardoor je je veilig voelt in het water. Hij brengt je naar de plek waar het op dat moment het beste is om te surfen. Ik heb veel mogen leren van Toño en ik kom zeker terug!

Awesome experiences with Antonio
Antonio is really enthusiastic and nice. He helped us ride a couple of waves. We also did some other trips of which the whale tour was the best.

Laguna de Manialtepec
Es una experiencia inolvidable! Te llevan a la laguna justo antes del atardecer, y el guía explica las especies encuentras. En la noche, tienes la oportunidad de ver la bioluminiscencia, la oscuridad de la laguna y nadar en ella. Sin duda una oportunidad para conectar con la naturaleza.

We had an amazing time!
My wife and I did a turtle reserve and bioluminescence tour with Vidasurf last week. I was also interested in a surf session but I’ve surfed for over 10 years so I was reluctant to do a lesson; I was more interested in a guide to show me some of the local surf breaks. I’m so glad that I signed up for the lesson. Toño, the guide/instructor, was awesome. He knows the breaks and ensured that everyone caught their fair share of waves. It’s not just lessons for beginners. He guided me directly to the spot at the break where I was able to get into the wave early and at the perfect spot on the shoulder of the wave. I ended up surfing with him a couple of times later that week. I would have not caught the waves that I did had I not met him. And to top it off, he was just a really cool, easy going, and friendly guy. My wife and I had a great time on our tours. I don’t normally write reviews, but we enjoyed our time with Toño so much, that I felt the need to write one this time. The next time that I’m in the Puerto Escondido area, I’m definitely reaching out to him. It was our first time in Puerto and I’m already looking forward to our next trip back.

Amazing
it was incredibly romantic. horse, sunrise and beach with waves. the horses were very docile and obedient. incredible emotions!?
very grateful to Antonio, who picked us up from our home. took a lot of great photos, showed the best place for breakfast.

Super Surf
cool, patient and very focused surf trainer!
three hours with Antonio & Chico were brilliant! hope to try again one day :)

The best tour!!!
My friends and I did a bioluminescent tour with Toño and Emilio, and it was definitely one of our best experiences in Puerto. The tour surpassed all of our expectations. It included transportation, a boat ride with bird watching along the lagoon, time on a gorgeous beach at sunset, the best seafood dinner we've ever had, a bonfire, and a night swim in the bioluminescent water. The tour was so comprehensive and we honestly couldn't have asked for a better time! Toño was both super knowledgeable about everything and also entertaining. I'd highly recommend any tour of the tours with him. The next time we return, we'll definitely book with Vidasurf!

The best bioluminescence tour
My friends and I did the bioluminescence tour with Vidasurf and honestly for me that was the best experience ever. Not only did we see bioluminescence while swimming under a tent in the lagoon at night but I also had the opportunity to go on a surfboard that was attached to the back of the boat and be towed while trying to keep my balance ?. It was a fantastic and unforgettable experience! Then we headed to the beach to watch the sunset and sat around a bonfire while roasting marshmallows before heading back to the lagoon to see the bioluminescence at night. I would definitely 100% recommend this tour to everyone! It was so magical and almost unreal.

Surfing for beginners
First ever surf lesson and by the end I was able to stand up and catch a wave (with lots of encouragement). They also took photos and videos, which is SUPER helpful when it comes to figuring out what you’re doing wrong and how to improve your stance/how to shift weight. Great experience!

Gran experiencia tomando olas en el amanecer de Puerto Escondido!!
Increible la experiencia de aprender a surf y tener un par de dias de calma y paz. Las personas de vidaSurf Ecotours se portaron increible conmigo y nos mostraron los mejores lugares para desayunar. Sin duda si buscas paz y tranquilidad ve a puerto escondido y no olvides en ir a surf con toño

LOVED our surf lessons
My boyfriend and I took 4 surfing lessons with Toño and his team while we were in PE. We loved our experience and could not recommend it more! Next time we're in PE, we will definitely hit them up for more lessons.

-Transportation: we were picked up at our AirBnb and dropped back off at our AirBnb
-Learning to surf: Toño taught us the rules and basics really well
-Practice: The team pushed us really hard and really wanted us to catch waves. We had a blast.
-Communication: communicating via WhatsApp was super easy!
-Class sizes: class sizes ranged from 2-5, and even when there was 5 we were able to catch a lot of waves.

Gran Experiencia
Excelente experiencia, Jose le dio clases a mi hijo y logro que se parara en la tabla rapidisimo, con toda la paciencia! le enseño de tal forma que ya quiere regresar y seguir apendiendo! Toño nos explico todo y se nota que no hay nada que les apasione mas que el surf y enseñarlo a los demas. En verdad lo recomendamos!!!

Friendly & Experienced Surf Instructors
My friends and I took surf lessons with Toño and his team. They were awesome! We started with safety and board positioning training on land to make sure everyone was comfortable before entering the water. Once in the water, the instructors were by your side helping you navigate and ride the waves! I highly recommend Toño and his team. - Mac

Surf Lesson
We had a great time surfing with Antonio and his team! We were all beginners and they were patient as we learned, but also pushed and coached us to catch the waves. I definitely feel more confident hopping on a surf board now. We met them at Playa Carrizalillo beach at 9am for a ~2.5hr lesson, started with on-land instruction and practice, then headed into the water.

After the lesson, our instructors took us to a great local breakfast spot and even dropped us back at our hotel. The Vidasurf team was friendly, quick to communicate via WhatsApp, all equipment was in great condition, and boards and rash guards were included in the price.

Très belle première expérience
Ce fut une très bonne première expérience de surf avec Antonio. C'est un coach dynamique, énergétique, plein d'humour et attentionné. Tout ce qu'il faut pour apprécier ce moment.
Il travaille avec 2 jeunes surfers qui vous mettent en confiance et vous aident à prendre les vagues, c'est une très bonne team !
On commence par des petits exercices sur la plage et ensuite c'est parti pour la glisse ! J'ai réussi à prendre quasiment toutes les vagues avec leur aide et à me mettre debout rapidement, c'était génial ! Ça m'a donné goût au surf ! J'y retournerai avec plaisir !
Merci à toute l'équipe ! Antonio, à bientôt sur les vagues de Zicatela ;)

Excellente experience de surf avec Antonio. Nous avons pris 2 heures de cours sur la olaya carrizalillo. C'est un très bon professeur avec de bonnes explications, de l'énergie, du dynamisme et de l'humour. Lui et son équipe sont sérieux, professionnels et font attention à la sécurité de leurs élèves. Tous ce qu'il faut pour passer un bon moment !
Je recommande++

Muchas gracias Antonio !

Wonderful experience
The SUP+bioluminescence tour was great. Toño was fun and knowledgeable and his team very careful and friendly. I did not expect to be enjoying the lagoon tour so much. And the bioluminescence swim in the middle of the lagoon was incredible. I would definitely recommend this one to anyone!!

Tono and his staff take great care in ensuring a successful surfing experience!
The best surf instructors in Puerto Escondido! My two teens and I had an exceptional surfing experience with Vidasurf. Tono and his staff are highly skilled and knowledgeable, taking great care to ensure we all had a successful surfing experience. Tono is also a great guide in local activities and very knowledgeable about Marine Science which made our experience that much more exciting! We will definitely be back!

Surf lesson
This was my our first ever surf lesson and it was amazing. Antonio and Chino didn’t end the class until we could both stand and ride a wave, we loved and would highly recommend anyone to do a lesson with them. It was so much fun! We also did the bioluminescence tour with Antonio, he gave us so much information and we had a really great time with him.
