Great Kayak with Ivo and Z! - We (family of 6 adults) had a wonderful kayak tour with Ivo and Z this mornIng! They were smart, responsible and very hospitable. We loved their knowledge of and respect for the beautiful environment! We got in close to beautiful caves and dolphins and they balanced touring and letting us explore solo well! Book a kayak tour over a boat ride with these guys. You will be so glad you did!

Special! - Perfect way to connect with the ocean and other humans. I'm more of a lake type of guy but this got me more used to being in open water.

Casual surfing course - Uncomplicated team and very nice instructors in Marina and Cristian. The instructions were in English and at the end photos were taken, which were made available to us for free download.

Nice experience - The experience was nice but being in a gropu was difficult. The waves were also quite small so not the best time for surfing.

Marred by overcrowding - I was very much looking forward to our first ever surfing lesson as a family of 4. Firstly, the group size is too big in my opinion. The group was approx. 30 and we were split into 2 groups with an instructor for each group. The instructors were lovely and did their best to get around everyone but it is a lot to do with a group that big. The beach was absolutely heaving with many people getting agitated by the large groups of surfing schools (note, there are several operating in the same space, not just this one!). This was in August '24 so appreciate this is peak time. The beach is extremely rocky as you enter the water with large rocks in the sea that are very hard to see making it hard to find a gap to put the board. It gets easier as you go further out in the water if you make it that far. My hubby got his foot stuck between two rocks and due to the volume of people, got pushed backwards and ended up with an injury and could no longer participate which unfortunately was at the very beginning of the session. I was then very worried for the kids having an accident on the rocks as you couldn't really see them, that it marred the experience for us. It is also worth noting that it is quite a walk to get to the end of the beach with the surf boards and they are not light!! My 14yr old daughter struggled to carry the board and we were trailing at the very back of the group trying to keep the rest of the group in view so we didn't lose them amongst the masses on the beach. The walk was likely longer because of how busy the beach was but it was no easy task even for the adults.

Too many people - This would be great if there were 1/2 the people. There were several other surf schools happening at the same time and not enough ocean. I ran into at least 3 people while trying to surf. Wearing a wetsuit also seemed unnecessary. My 7 year old tapped out pretty quickly. The instructor were great but it was too crowded.
