OUR GUIDES:


If you’ve never been to an under-developed country you are probably in for a great experience. We have surf guides for two main reasons: Safety and Fun. The first is a given, like any city in the world El Salvador has its safe and unsafe places. Our guides make sure to spend your time in the safe ones. The second reason is often overlooked when booking a surf trip. Many people just go on their trip and wake up surf, eat, nap, surf again, sleep again, and do it all over again. That’s great, we want you to get as much surf as possible, but here in El Salvador we are famous for our hospitality and friendliness. Part of the Guide’s job is to introduce you to the local scene and show what this place is all about: surfing great waves with great friends.

Vaquero is the company owner and lead guide. While a native Spanish speaker, and “local” on the waves of El Salvador, he also speaks English and can communicate with you in either language.

Other Guides include:
Israel Molina “Martillo””
Jose Diaz “Bamba”
Jesus Toribio “Chungo”

Your experienced Sunzal Surf Tours Guide will greet you at the international airport with a vehicle suitable to the size of your group and will take care of you throughout your stay in El Salvador. Each day your guide will give you a wake up call and based on your experience, conditions and local knowledge he will transport you to the best break. Sunzal Sourf Tours are totally customized, private surf tours designed for small groups of 1-6 surfers. All our vehicles have roof racks which can accommodate up to 6 or more coffin bags. We also offer boat trips to remote breaks where you can be assured of surfing in a pristine environment with no crowds. The boat rides include a 4-5 hour expedition, cold drinks, and warm barrels.


 

 

 

 

 
SAFETY:

Concerns are always raised about safety in El Salvador. El Salvador is a stable democracy that uses the American Dollar as currency. The people here are among the most welcoming and friendliest in Central or South America, and overall El Salvador is a beautiful and magical country with much to offer to those that travel its coastlines. Like any city in the world, El Salvador has its safe and unsafe places. Our guides make sure that you spend your time in the safe ones. Many rumors and exaggerated accounts have been published about El Salvador and paint a distorted image of the country. The civil war ended here in 1992 and ever since, a stable democracy with a growing economy that welcomes tourism has brought El Salvador to be the Economic leader in Central America. In one hand, bad rumors about safety here have improved the surf; exaggerations have largely kept the crowds away and led tourism booms to Costa Rica while we get to surf epic conditions with 10-person lineups. There is a good vibe in the water, but like anywhere, RESPECT THE LOCALS. Would you go to a spot in California and paddle in front of the 5 hottest locals? No right, well do the same here, work the lineup in respectful manner, and you will get the same respect.

Extras

In addition to the surf tours we can also arrange for other expeditions to Volcanoes, ruins, mountain lakes, mountain horseback rides, motor-cross, spear-fishing, deep sea fishing, caves, and crystal waterfalls.
