Why go to Baja?
San Diego is in a very special place; right next to Baja.
It is amazing to be able to drive 30 minutes south, cross a border and enter an
entirely different country. The surf is uncrowded, the food is delicious, the
coast is less developed, the people are warm, and there is adventure in the
air!
Why go surfing in Baja rather than just surfing in San
Diego?
If you have seen La Jolla Shores or Del Mar in the
summertime, you will know that the crowds can actually make learning to surf
difficult. Imagine this: standing on our Baja beach house balcony, looking out
over a sunny empty beach at the green empty waves. The only people who surf out
here are the people who come with us.
How do kids do on the trips?
Kids love it! There’s a lot of interesting stuff to see on
the drive, the surf lesson is super fun, and the food is great (along with the
live musical entertainment.) and we always take the line in at the border which
moves fastest and is right next to all the vendors, which means there’s an
endless amount of useless wares to look at.

Is the border wait long?
We usually spend between 30 and 50 minutes in line at the
border. We’ve figured out which is the fastest and most entertaining lane,
right next to all the vendors with endless amounts of useless wares to look at.
Plus we always have some Mexican ice cream and churros for desert in the border
line.
What if I’m a vegetarian or have other dietary requests?
No problem, just let us know.
What if I already know how to surf?
If you already know how to surf, you can go in front of the
house. It’s a fun beachbreak with long sandbars. If you have a group of people
who know how to surf we can take you to find the best waves around. La Fonda, a
great beachbreak, is 5 minutes away. San Miguel, the famous right point, is 25
minutes away.
What is included in the trip price?
See “what is included” under the “trips” link.
Do I need to bring cash for anything?
You only need to bring cash if you want to buy souvenirs or
drink alcohol.
Do I need to bring identification to Mexico?
Yes, a passport or photo I.D. is required for U.S. &
Canadian citizens. A passport, I-94 form, multiple entry visa or resident alien
card required for non-U.S. citizens.
Do I need to know how to surf?
No, the Baja Surf Experience is designed for people who have little or no surfing experience. We
will teach you how to surf.
What if I want to go on the trip but I don’t want to
surf?
We allow room for one non-surfing guest per group, at the
rate of $150 for the day trip.
Do you offer group or charter discounts?
Yes, if you get together 10 paying customers, you go for
FREE.
How far down will we be going?
On our day trips the furthest south we go is El Mirador
which is about 60 miles below the border. Trips further south can be arranged,
please call for information.
What time does the trip begin and how long will it go?
We will pick you up around 9 a.m. and drop you off at
around 8:30 p.m.
Will you pick me up at my hotel or home?
Yes, we pick up from most hotels or homes in San Diego. If
you are outside of our pick up area we can arrange to pick you up for an extra
fee.
What is you deposit and cancellation policy?
There is a $50 non-refundable deposit to hold your space.
Can I get sick from eating the food or drinking the
water in Mexico?
Don’t drink the water! We provide bottled water in the van
and at the house. And we only take you to restaurants that have proven to serve
clean and fresh food so everyone goes home with a satisfied belly and not an
achy belly.
Is there any way I can be reached while in Baja?
Yes, we always carry at least one roaming cell phone with
us in Mexico. Please contact us at 858-334-9334, and we’ll give you the cell
phone number.
