Across the 15 options we compare on booking platforms, prices generally fall between $125 and $491, with most tours clustering in the $170–$240 range (median $210).

Most bookings provide more than just instruction. About 80% of the options include meals, while roughly half (53%) come with a guide and nearly half (47%) include drinks. A smaller share provides equipment or photos. When comparing options, look for listings that bundle meals and drinks to get the best value, as adding these separately can be costly.

It is a popular choice because 53% of the tours we compare are private, offering a highly personalized atmosphere. Reviewers frequently describe the experience as "very unique" and "amazing," noting the friendly atmosphere. If you prefer tailored instruction and flexibility over a group dynamic, the private options justify the higher price point found in the upper tier of our data.
