Giant's Foot Surf Tours

What People Are Saying

Giant's Foot Surf has earned a devoted following with guests returning year after year to this family-run beachfront lodge in the charming fishing village of Playa Gigante. Owners Tara and Trevor have created something special—a home-away-from-home atmosphere where guests feel like family rather than customers. The all-inclusive package eliminates all stress: airport pickup, family-style meals, twice-daily surf sessions, and unlimited beer and Flor de Caña rum. Surf guides Kevin, Carlos, and Ronald are patient, knowledgeable locals who provide instruction suited to all levels, from complete beginners standing up on day one to advanced surfers chasing barrels. Their boat access with Captain Armando opens up world-class breaks like Colorado and Lance's Left that would be inaccessible otherwise. The lodge sits directly on a quiet beach with clean rooms featuring AC, morning yoga on an upper deck with ocean views, and legendary Monday burger nights that bring the local community together. Beyond surfing, guests praise the snorkeling tours, fishing trips (Carlos even makes fresh sashimi from the catch), sailing excursions, and hikes up the namesake Giant's Foot hill. The community-minded owners sponsor local surf tournaments, support sea turtle conservation, and genuinely integrate with Gigante village life.
