Take your Punta Cana vacation up a notch with a private or small-group surf lesson in the warm waters of beautiful Macao Beach, on the Atlantic side of the Dominican Republic. In addition to simply being fun, the experience allows you to get a little exercise and enjoy a slice of island life. With a qualified local instructor who has at least five years of teaching experience, you'll learn the basics – like paddling and popping up – on the beach, and then head into the sea to put your newfound skills to the test.
