The San Rafael Surf School, run by Raylin Romero, offers surf lessons, board rentals and other outdoor adventure options. When the waves aren't cooperating for surfing, he offers guided snorkeling tours among the beautiful coral reefs. If you prefer hiking with views that can't be found anywhere else in the country, he will guide you with stops along the way for swimming in clean rivers and will explain the local agriculture as you pass by the mountainous farms. You can also decide to camp on the mountain if you'd like, Raylin will provide tents, bedding and breakfast. All offerings are at very reasonable prices, particularly if you're looking for a break from the steepend resort rates.

The school offers free lessons to local area youths and tourist support helps sustain this work.
