Going to the surf camp was a life-changing experience for sure. The people are really welcoming, it's very easy to make friends and connections that will last forever, and everyone wants to stay longer than 3 weeks. The activities that they offer are super fun but a little expensive, I recommend bringing a lot of cash to avoid paying taxes. The facilites are really cool, especially the swimming pool, but there is no aircon or enough fans in the rooms so be prepared to feel the heat. If I could go back to day 1, I'd definitely do it, be open to everything and enjoy your time in Tamarindo.

This was my first solo trip, and it was a dream come true. Danny, the manager, as well as the rest of the team, were so welcoming to me when I arrived. I made so many connections and had the most amazing time. I couldn't even pick one memory to say as my favorite because they were all so amazing. I cannot even put into words how amazing this experience was. I learned so much and made so many friends.

Super amazing experience! the surf camp was my first time doing worldpackers, and first time solo traveling. It was a really amazing place to start out in because of the other volunteers, the workers and the environment! I couldn't have asked for a better start to my trip!

It is amazing experience. You can meet new people and develop new friendships. The tasks are simple and easy to accomplish. The food is often the same thing but it is really good. There are a few activities during the week and they are really fun! The staff is nice and they are always ready to help you. I had a really good time here!
