22. Surf lesson at Playa El Tunco
5.0· 9 reviews· 1.5 hoursOne and a half hours of surfing instruction on Playa El Tunco with local instructors, tailored for beginners and those looking to improve their skills.
“I visited Tamanique, which was wonderful. The guides accommodated both faster walkers and a slower group. I particularly enjoyed swimming and jumping in the pools. Pablo, my guide, was very friendly. When I expressed my desire to surf despite my fears from nearly drowning before, he offered a discounted tour. Though I had overcome my anxiety about swimming and snorkeling, I was still apprehensive about the waves. Pablo was incredibly encouraging and reassuring, helping me improve with every attempt. While I didn't manage to stand up for long, I "knelt surfed" for a short distance. Ultimately, the experience, which I had mixed feelings about initially, turned into something that made me extremely happy. I enjoyed it more and more, and I look forward to taking a second lesson, all thanks to Pablo. He was the best guide I encountered in Central America. Thank you!”— garygP8363WS

44. Hike to Tamanique Waterfalls with lunch at Surf City
5.0· 5 reviews· 6 hoursHalf-day guided hike to Tamanique Waterfalls in El Bálsamo, followed by lunch at Cadejo La Libertad with craft beer and fish tacos.
“Alfredo was friendly and very knowledgeable, making our hike and tour an outstanding experience. He picked us up from our hotel and shared fascinating insights about El Salvador's history and geography on the way to the hiking start point. We hiked to the waterfalls, where we enjoyed swimming; although we didn’t jump in, Alfredo made sure we had a great time. We had a fun photo session at the falls, and he kindly offered to hold our bags while capturing plenty of pictures and videos for our album. After the hike, we had lunch at a restaurant on the black beach, where the large waves almost reached us at the table. Our meal and conversations with him were delightful. Post-lunch, we stopped at a local vendor to get fresh coconut water. If you can only do one activity in El Salvador, make sure to participate in the Wet and Wild: Tamanique Waterfalls and El Tunco Beach experience. It truly is phenomenal. Thank you, Alfredo, for making our trip memorable.”— michellefG1844XR
