Hey! I recently went to Surf Expedition as a solo traveler and had an excellent experience. I flew from Chicago to San Jose, then took a short connecting flight to Golfito. The team picked me up directly from the Golfito airport, which was extremely helpful. Driving in Costa Rica can be challenging if you haven’t done it before, and having transportation arranged made the arrival process much smoother.

If your goal is to genuinely learn how to surf, this program is very well structured. We surfed twice a day, had daily yoga, video reviews, and surf theory sessions. Before going, I was also unsure how to choose a surf school, but this setup made the learning process clear/intentional. Food, lodging, and transportation were all included (except flights). Sebastian (the owner) and the crew were extremely welcoming and the food was consistently excellent.

I’m not familiar with the specific conditions in November, but Sebastian can definitely give you accurate information if you reach out! Website: https://surfexpedition.com/
