Good location, good instructors - Had a realy nice week here. Had lessons for 4 days. The surfinstructors were very nice. Surfschool is located near the beach so you can change your surfboard realy quick. Very good price. keep in mind that you are tied to certain times because of the tide.

Epic, awesome and fun! - I highly recommend Gecko surf school. Fantastic team of surf instructors, giving you clear instructions on how to catch and stand up on a wave. Pedro, Marcus and Fabrice made my 6 lessons such fun, I’m not the usual age of pupil but their teaching was so clear and they were very persistent in helping me gain the skills so that I managed to consistently stand up and surf. Not only was I delighted but they cheered me on too. Although it was a group lesson they make sure their instruction is personal taking the time to observe each pupil and tell them what they need to do to improve. Super experienced team that are very welcoming, keep you safe in the ocean and are fun to be around.

Best surf school in sunny Costa de Caparica - First single lesson 2 years ago, came back this year for a 4 lesson pack.
I believe the best review that I could give is that even someone as clumsy and untalented as me was able to stand on the board on the first day, and on the last day I could even catch some waves on my own 😁
Really great surf school, amazing coaches, not only super friendly and fun, but they also go the extra mile to make sure we catch the best waves, even when it means they will be freezing in deep water.
Also the quality of the equipment was very good, the wetsuit fitted me very well and felt like it was pretty good.
If you are interested in learning how to surf in the (cold) waters of Caparica, this is the place to go!
Thank you all you guys for your amazing work! 😁

Great afternoon surf experience! - I had a great time surfing with the Gecko surf school! The school supplies you with a wetsuit and board. The instructors were informative, knowledgeable, and friendly. The instructors will help you throughout the experience so don’t worry if you don’t know how to surf or struggle with the waves. With the help of the instructors, I was able to catch and ride some waves that I otherwise wouldn’t be able to do on my own. If you are thinking about learning how to surf I would highly recommend the Gecko surf school.

Good surfing experience - Group class experience. The material included well, in good condition and suitable for the activity. The very nice monitors, watching the students, were responsible for helping and providing advice to improve the technique. The weather in the water is correct.

Great day out for all the family - Amazing day with the team from Gecko. Myself, my 16 and 12 year old had a lovely morning surfing with the team. All of us beginners, but with the help and guidance of the Gecko team we were up and surfing in no time. They were patient guides with lots of great tips which we have taken to a weeks surfing in Ericeira. Can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you Team Gecko

Surfing fun! - The teacher (Marco) was a very nice and relaxed person who helped us a lot with the basics and gave some great tips on how to advance. Everyone had a fun time in the water and it was a fun experience all together.

Awesome first surf lesson! - Awesome surf lesson! The instructors are super kind, friendly and helpful. It was my first time surfing and I absolutely loved it. Completely safe and well supervised, and the teachers give great tips to help you catch your first waves. I went with a friend but there was also a family with little kids with us in the group lesson and they also had a great experience. I highly recommend Gecko surf school!

A memorable experience - Maximum dedication! My daughters went to experiment for the first time. Dario was tireless. For two hours he never gave up. Always with good disposition and persistence. They loved and ended the surf class.
