Surfing Lessons at Cerritos

Cabo San Lucas

Tour Details

Discover a different side of Baja California Sur with a small-group surfing adventure at Cerritos Beach, departing from Cabo San Lucas. Perfect for cruise guests looking for an active experience away from the main resort area, this excursion combines professional surf coaching, Pacific Ocean scenery, time on the beach, and a traditional Baja-style lunch.

Meet at Plaza Gali, located within easy walking distance of the Cabo San Lucas cruise tender terminal, and begin your journey toward Cerritos Beach. The drive takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours each way, offering scenic views of Baja's desert landscape, mountains, and Pacific coastline along the route.

Once you arrive at Cerritos Beach, meet your bilingual instructors and prepare for your surfing experience. Approximately 20 minutes are dedicated to equipment fitting and an introductory beach session covering ocean awareness, water safety, paddling, balance, board positioning, selecting waves, and proper pop-up technique.

Then take your skills into the Pacific for approximately 1 hour and 40 minutes of supervised surfing and hands-on instruction. Your instructors will adjust the lesson according to your abilities and the day's ocean conditions, making the experience appropriate for first-time surfers, beginners, and intermediate participants. Including the initial beach instruction, you will have approximately two hours dedicated to surfing instruction and time in the water. Surfboards, rash guards, and all required surfing equipment are provided.

Between activities, beach chairs and umbrellas are available for both surfing participants and registered observers. Following your surf lesson, enjoy approximately 30 minutes of lunch featuring a selection of Baja favorites, including tacos, Mexican rice, refried beans, guacamole, tortilla chips, salsa, and one non-alcoholic drink. The included lunch is available to both participants and registered observers.

After lunch, settle in for the return drive of approximately 1 to 1.5 hours to Plaza Gali, bringing your shore excursion to an end. The experience includes transportation from and back to Plaza Gali, equipment preparation, beach instruction, approximately two hours of surfing instruction and water activities, lunch, and time needed for transitions between activities.

If you're searching for an active Cabo San Lucas shore excursion, this Cerritos Beach experience provides the opportunity to learn or improve your surfing skills while enjoying the scenery of the Pacific Coast and experiencing the laid-back surf culture of Baja California Sur.
