It was a highlight of our trip!!! Gustavo and Jack (his dog) picked us up at our hotel right on time and we were on our way to ride some waves. The beach is beautiful and it was just 2 of us to enjoy it all! After 15 min of on-land training we were on our way. Each of us... More

We’ve been traveling the Caribbean for a few years now each place we go we do a few excursions. At this point it always seems like the same thing, zip lines, ATVs, dunes buggies, catamarans, snorkeling. Rarely an excursion will come along that stands out like Macao Surf Camp. The surf camp is located in a small shack along a... More

Took our 14 year old son, and all three of us surfed. Had a great time, other than an errant pick up. Very friendly people and committed to everyone succeeding and having fun.

This beach is not crowded, but has a great variety of breaks. The surf guides and Macao Surf Camp are world class. Don't be fooled by the "surf guides" at the hotels who are really just divers trying to cash in. Go with the real deal and you won't be disappointed.

My husband and I took our 3 kids - 21, 18, 16 - surfing with these guys on the recommendation of another guest at our resort and they were terrific! Most of us had never been on a board before, but with their excellent 1-on-1 instruction, I'm happy to say that all of us were able to catch at least... More

My wife and I surfed with the gang last April. Very professional staff. One of the nicest and beautiful beaches we have ever been. If you are going to the DR you have to go surfing with these guys. You will not be disappointed!

Spent the morning out at Macao beach. Nice place to rent a board & hang out by the water. Owner of the surf camp was super nice & let us borrow a couple of chairs to use on the beach. We went in the morning & parked by the surf camp & weren't hassled at all by vendors. If you... More

We visited the Macao Surf Camp just last May 14, 2013 and it was definitely the highlight of our trip. It was actually a last-minute plan to try surfing. We figured, since we're only lounging at the hotel the whole day, might as well try something new. We asked the hotel lobby if they knew about the surf camp and... More

Simply a phenomenal experience! I had been involved heavily ( when younger ) sailing, windsurfing, scuba diving my entire life but had yet to surf. at 48 I decided to bring my daughter 10, and friends daughters 9 & 12. all the kids were apprehensive to say the least. But once they hit that first wave it was all smiles... More

Amazing experience, especially since it was my first time. It would probably enhance the experience if the people helping could brush up on their English, just so they can tell us how to improve when there's something we're doing wrong.
