Surfing, Sandboarding & Wild Sea Lions + Chilean Drinks & Food

We enjoyed the day very much. Jimmy was a fabulous guide and instructor. Highly recommend this tour.

Booked a tour to see sea lions, try surf & sandboarding - it was amazing! Jimmy is extremely kind & professional, and the whole day, packed with activities, was planned to perfection. Thank you!! 🙏🤩

This experience is nothing less than amazing. We had our tour with Jimmy and Simona and it felt if we were on a trip with long term friends who know everything about Chile's culture and where to find the most amazing spots. They prepared everything in so much loving detail and my girlfriend and I really had an unforgettable time. From passionate sand surfing as well as a real surfing session with absolute professionals, to seeing Sea Lions right in front of us (we could have touched them if we wanted to). It was really amazing. In the end, we were a bit extra lucky and enjoyed a beer with Jimmy, Simona and the rest of their team with a beautiful view in Valparaiso. The whole team is truly amazing and is caring so much about great experiences for their clients. It is a 11/10 recommendation and if you are unsure if you should book it - do it! You will for sure have an unforgettable day. Thank you so much for everything, Jimmy and Simona! We hope to see you again in the future, either in Germany or in Chile :-) Greetings, Julia & Timo

Jimmy provides amazing value with this tour. Well worth the money!! The surfing and sand boarding was great experience and a ton of fun

We had SO much fun on this activity! Jimmy and Larisa were awesome hosts and were so fun to be with. They did a great job of communicating beforehand and took so many fun pictures of us during the activity for us to have. The sea lions (and fish market) were a fun way to start the day and we loved hearing about the fun facts that Jimmy had about all the cities we drove through. Surfing with Jaime was a blast and the picnic after was absolutely delicious. Sand boarding down the dunes was so fun and they were so patient with us as we kept trying. They were super accommodating of our time since we had a flight to catch that night, but it was a fantastic adventure! We would 100% do it again!

Jimmy and Simona were both amazing tour guides. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience visiting Valparaiso. They were knowledgeable, kind and very thoughtful the entire time. Sandboarding and surfing were both so much fun. Highly recommend booking a tour with Go Penguins, I will certainly be contacting them next time I am in town. Cheers

Jimmy and Rosie picked us up and we got up close and personal to some sea lions! They then took us to meet Jaime, the sweet surf instructor, who taught us how to catch some waves (or attempt to in my case). We had a wonderful time!

This experience was amazing from start to finish. Our surf instructor was the best we’ve had, working hard to help us get up and make it an awesome day in the water catching waves. The empanadas for lunch were so fresh and the homemade pisco sours were amazing. Our guide even got a birthday churro as a surprise for my fiancé’s birthday! The sand boarding rounded out a great day and was an awesome adventure!

This was an incredible trip. He was always in constant communication and very efficient. My favorite part was surfing and seeing the sand dunes. They are amazing. He really goes out of his way to make this trip very special and makes you feel welcomed. Highly recommend!!!

Jimmy was amazing! Punctual but relaxed. He was educated on the area. Surfing was just the right amount of instruction and time. We had a wonderful warm lunch of local food. He was a great teacher of sand surfing. It was so fun. Would highly recommend!

Highly recommend this trip! Had an absolute blast, the trip was super personalized and Jimmy and Marielle made sure I was comfortable and enjoyed every second. They even asked me if i wanted to adjust the start time of the tour. We started with the sand dunes and it was fairly empty so I got to try it out quite a few times and managed not to face plant in the sand. We then headed to the beach to wash off the sand and had some fresh fruits and berries while we waited for the surfs to get set up. The surfing itself was awesome, the instructor was super experienced and encouraging and I got to stand up and ride the wave for the very first time. We then had a very lovely lunch where I got to try some of the best local empanadas and snacks. I was also offered way too much wine and pisco for just myself, which was a great chill and of the day. They also continuously took pictures and videos of me so I have beautiful photos to document my "graceful" surfing experience and shared the photos with me right away as well. Overall an amazing experience and if you want to challenge yourself and try something new, this is the tour for you!

Jimmy and Josephina were amazing guides! They showed us around on our drive to the dunes and answer all of my questions regarding Chile and the history as well as the current events. At the dunes, they were thorough and clear on instructions for sandboarding. The demonstration was great and we finally got the hang of it after the first try. My dad and I had so much fun learning the whole time. Then we went to the beach and our surf instructor was wonderful. He had us on plenty of waves even with him only being able to help us one at a time. Instruction was clear and very direct. It's something I would try again! Then we enjoyed an amazing lunch with homemade pisco sour and Empanadas made by Josephina. It's was so delicious and just a perfect afternoon spent with my dad.

We had a great time surfing and trying out dune boarding. The hosts are super friendly and bring you the best food with great passion!

Jimmy and Josephine are great people with a passion for their craft. We got surfing lessons from a very experienced surfer and learned a lot. After that we had some home cooked food and the best pisco sour that we had in 3 weeks of traveling through Chile. Duneboarding was fun to try and we ended the day with a nice Sunset. Would definitely do it again!

One of the highlights on our trip in Chile. Jimmy and Simona were very welcoming and accommodating as they picked us up in Vina del Mar instead of Valpo. Jimmy and Simona like to focus on smaller groups so that the experience is more intimate and that they can give the proper attention to each guest, which was greatly appreciated. Sandboarding and Surfing were great. Jimmy will teach you all you need to know on Sandboarding and they partner with a local surf shop to get you a proper 90 minute surfing lesson. They also did a great job of capturing our moments on the trip as they took some pictures and videos of our adventure. The homemade pisco sours were delicious along with the spread of food for a nice lunch on the beach. I would highly recommend this trip as well as the other trips that Go Penguins offer!

The whole excursion was perfectly arranged and Simona and Jimmy were really friendly!! We've had a lot of fun and thanks to the cool video they made we can still look back at it!!!

Simona and Jimmy were great and super friendly. We have started by concòn, Nice spot to surf and then they had prepared a Nice lunch with some drinks ! Finally in the afternoon you Will do sandboarding on a dune with an amazing view of the bay ! I recommend this excursion for sure !

Our family arrived in Santiago on Christmas Eve (me, my husband, our daughter and two sons (ages 22, 21 and 20). I booked a surfing and sand boarding lesson for the next day to kick the vacation off and to have an "adventure" for Christmas Day. I was not sure what to expect and was a bit apprehensive about the experience and my family's reaction to the plans. They can be a "tough crowd":) My two boys were dragging their feet at the beginning, each for their own reason, and I was pretty nervous to get into the water myself. It turned out to be our FAVORITE day of the entire vacation and set the tone for the week ahead. Jimmy and Simona are WONDERFUL people and fantastic guides and hosts. They connected us with great surf instructors, provided food and drinks above our expectation and then Jimmy taught us all to sand board. They were very flexible and accommodating to each of our needs and requests and were great fun to hang out with. Our expectation of a three hour excursion turned into a wonderful six hour afternoon on the beach. I have never taken the time to write a review on trip advisor before, but wanted to write my thanks to Jimmy and Simone for a great start to our family vacation!!

Jimmy and Simona were incredible hosts and we had such a blast. We started the day surfing, then ate a nicely prepared lunch (and some drinks 😁) and then finished the day sandboarding down the Concon dunes. This was definitely one of the most fun and action packed days we had during our 3 week trip!

I really enjoyed this tour and got so much emotions! Simona and Jimmy were fantastic guides and surfing instructor was really professional!

Jimmy and staff were very friendly and helpful. They did everything to keep him comfortable. They kept a communication before the tour and directed us how to get to Valparaíso.

We've had a fantastic day with Jimmy and his helpers. It started with watching the sea lion, which was really cool! After that we drove to Concon where we were greeted by welcoming surf instructors. After the surf, we were served delicious empanadas and pisco sour. After lunch we went to the sand dunes where Jimmy was good at instructing us how to stand on the sandboard. If you want to have a fun day with fantastic company, this is highly recommended!

The experience was amazing, the landscape beautiful and the activities very entertaining, invite you to challenge your mind, connect with your limits and experience new sensations. Highly recommended this experience, the guide very friendly and attentive.
