Great attention for detail

Akash_S, Jul 2025

It was a great experience with a lot of attention for details. Highly recommend the classes. I did catch some great waves as a beginner.

Great experience

Erica_C, Jan 2025

Got to go during low season so the instructor was able to give more attention to myself. She was patient, and kind to someone who was taking their first surfing lesson. Lots of fun for solo travellers. Highly recommend if you are visiting Peniche. :)

Thank you very much!!! It was a plesure and we hope to see you again soon :)

Best surf school

MrsR_L, Aug 2024

This is a must try activity if you are in Peniche. The surf school is very organised and you get an instructor for every 8-10 people. They are very thorough with their explanation and will stay with you in the water during the whole experience. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to try surfing.

Thank you for the nice review! Hope to see you again soon :)

Great experience

Maria_A, Aug 2024

Instructors are great, explained the technique and warm up at the beach and after that enjoyed the time in the sea. Small groups.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hi, you booked our experience that is located in Peniche, when you are staying in Lisbon (1h15m driving). Of course we were not able to pick you up in Lisbon.. (Transfers from Lisbon-Peniche are at least 100€ for one person).. Please try to read better the information next time, anyway, you already been refunded and everything is solve with Viator as well.. We don´t understand this review and why it has 1 star, even after you receive the money back!! We hope next time you use other way to talk with us, like a email for example.. :D We also hope that some day you have the chance to have 1 surf lesson with our team, since you never had that opportunity! Thank you for your comprehension! All the best..
