I book a week of Spanish Immersion in San José along with a week of surfing. I had a great time combining the time and found everyone I interacted with to be super pleasant and friendly. The spanish course at Maximo Nivel were very thorough and helpful and the surf camp was a lot of fun with great instructors. Pura Vida, I will return.

Don’t know what I would expect going into the surf school. Everyday I saw myself getting better and becoming more confident in the water and with my swimming skills. Thank you so much for offering this program.
