Private 1 to 1 for a beginner - I had a private lesson here at Kuta beach. The online check in was efficient (I booked last-minute the day before and still managed to get booked in) and the communication from the company was professional and clear. On the day I met my instructor, changed at the onsite facilities which includes changing rooms, showers, clothes drier and lockers. Everything was clean and modern. A rash guard is provided free of charge. There is a good selection of boards including hard and soft top. The lesson itself was great. The waves were perfect for beginners and the sandy ground means it's way less risky than over coral. The instructor was extremely experienced, good English and importantly - lots of fun! The lesson was tailored to me including practice close to shore then paddling further out with the instructor once my consistency was good. He made time for a break at shore and free water when my fitness became the limiting factor! I made tonnes of progress in the 2 hours I was on the water. After the lesson I was offered (and no pushyness in the slightest I would add) to purchase professional photos taken from shore - the entire selection of about 10-15 photos for only 100k IDR! This was very impressive as many experiences like this I've had elsewhere would try to charge you that for one or two out of the bunch which often makes the value not worthwhile; here they give you the lot! That meant it was an easy yes from me. A fabulous morning and thoroughly recommended!

3 amazing days! - I cannot recommend the guys at Odysseys Surf School enough. They’re attention and teaching was second to none. A particular shout out to Ti & Wi, Wi for his patience with me and to Ti who has definitely given both the girls the surfing bug!

Excellent experience! - Professional surf instructors. I had very limited time as I was leaving Kuta soon, but Blake managed to teach me how to surf in that small amount of time. Thank you for this amazing experience!

Good surfing school - We bring our kids, ages 13 and 7, to a private surfing lesson. The Odyssey team was well-prepared and friendly. We had Mr. Black and Mr. Hendra as instructors, who were really good with the kids. Julio was part of the rescue team, always ready to assist whenever needed. Good school.

Professional surf school that prioritizes safety - My instructor was T who taught me the basics of surfing including how to get in the water safely. Safety was prioritised by this surf school as they even had wave watchers and lifeguards such as Michael with whom I had a lovely time chatting. T always encouraged me to ask questions and gave me detailed feedback on how to improve. I can tell he was very attentive to my form!

Awesome Surf Lesson - Odyssey provides an excellent service. Incredibly smooth process throughout. We took the semi private (couple) lesson and received pick-up, board and rash guard rental as well as great lessons. You can also purchase photos they take of your classes for a nominal fee which are lovely keepsake. Our instructor Amez was awesome! From his guidance and the steady waves both me and my boyfriend were able to get up on our boards within a few tries! Thank you Amez! We will definitely seek you out next time we are in Bali!

Great Surf School - Great to see these guys still offering their superb service for all these years. Patience and good humour galore. Highly Recommended. The crew are spot on and you'll appreciate the shower and chagerooms afterwards.
