Guided Surf Excursions
Every morning at daybreak we are checking the conditions to make decisions where to spend our day surfing with you.. After 20 year of drinking coffee on the same beach at the same time, we have this part of the day down to a science. Red Frog Bungalows boasts the most experience in the region and our surf guides know when and where to strike daily. Our daily surf excursion departures depends on tide, wind, swell direction, swell size, your ability as well as your specific wants and needs. These surf services are not open to the public and provided for only guests at the resort. We have a maximum of 10 surfers in the resort at one time and the surf trips last for 4 hours. However, if the waves are good… we want nothing more than to stay on the water most of the day. Our goal is to make sure you are surfed out by the time you leave Red Frog Bungalows Resort.

Carenero
This is a fun wave that offers 3 very different sections. The top section is fast, shallow and can be pretty hollow with the right tide. The middle section slows down a bit and its more maneuverable. The inside section is a hollow and fast barrel so once you get up you better start racing it!
