    Excellent surfing lesson. We were all beginners and the instructors worked hard for the whole time and were very good with helping us to get going. The weather was perfect for us; the morning was quieter but afternoon was also fine. The water felt very safe. If we came again we wouldn’t hesitate to go to Explora again.

    We want to get back on the surfing board asap!

    A lot of fun . Did it with a small group. Would recommend. The trainer was also so patient as we were not good at the beginning.
