We begin with some basic instruction and safety on the beach and then go into the water to waist deep to catch some waves.

We return to the shop to shower and change after the lesson.

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
