Outdoor Ecuador was one of my favourite experiences while travelling through Ecuador and Peru. The vibes here are incredible & welcoming and the staff are some of the sweetest people I’ve met. Our surf lessons were amazing and super reasonably priced, and the surf boards are awesome quality. We also rented boards after our lessons and the prices cannot be beat. Special shoutout to Leo, who works there, for being so cool! Highly recommend this place to anyone looking to surf or work on their Spanish skills.

I had the most wonderful time with Outdoor Ecuador! Lessons with Luis were amazing, as we conversed in Spanish all the time and shared so many laughs. Having 3 hours of private Spanish lessons each day with Luis, and 1,5 hour of private surfing lessons with David was all anyone can ask for. During my stay I stayed with a local family, which was such a lovely, warm and humbling experience. The stay was organized by Outdoor Ecuador, who helped me with everything. I stayed for one week and my Spanish improved so much. Una organización increíble, muchos gracias por todo!

We have only great things to say about Outdoor Ecuador! We had a week of surf lessons in the morning and Spanish lessons in the afternoon. The lessons were all fantastic quality. Davide was a brilliant and technical surf instructor. In a week he took us from never having touched a surf board to standing up and feeling confident in the ocean. Dario was an excellent, kind and incredibly patient spanish teacher. Over the weeks course we went from really no Spanish at all to being able to have basic conversations and gaining an understanding of grammar. The lessons all take place in the lovely beach town of Olon with its big beach and lots of cafes/ restaurants. Leo did a great job of helping us organise everything in Olon and was really helpful and responsive over email before we arrived. Bruno drove us to Olon from Guayaquil and the transfer was very smooth and hassle free. Outdoor Equador has such a welcoming and friendly atmosphere that you immediately feel part of their community. After a week it is very difficult to leave! I would recommend anyone in Ecuador to spend some time there.

We were looking for private lessons for our kids who are all under 12 y.o, but we were trying to avoid the chaos of Montañita. I reached out via WhatsApp, after stumbling upon the school during a drive in Olón, and received an answer from Luis within an hour. I explained what I was looking for, and we were able to schedule private lessons almost immediately. Bruno, Luis and Leo were incredibly patient, kind and encouraging to the kids. All 3 of them stood up within 30 minutes of the first lesson. We loved it, so we kept scheduling sessions one after the other. I would definitely recommend to check them out and to give them a visit. We’re already planning on our next visit, and we will definitely be coming back for more lessons!
