Highlights
- Irmão - I will pick you up from Lisbon city center (pick up spot) and bring you to one of the most beautiful beach around the city, Praia do Castelo (Costa da Caparica).
You will get a wetsuit and a surfboard, and we will get suited up for the activity.
From beginners to advanced, one day or intensive surf courses. I will help you all the way, showing and explaining everything you need to know. Learn surf techniques, beach analysis, safety procedures, and enjoy a clean energy activity, immersed in the ocean.
We will start with the warm up, and then go straight to theory on the sand, but it won’t be long until you hit the water. I will not give a speech on the sand, just short and quick tips. We have a ratio of 1 instructor for 5 students maximum.
If you are experienced in surfing, please let me know.
We will surf around 2h, depending on the conditions and your stamina.
There will be a photographer with us in the water, to catch the best momento of your surf experience.
Afterwards we will drive back to the city, and finish where we started.

Fun Family Experience - When I booked this activity I thought it was going to be a bad idea of 3 out of 5 of us (me, husband and kids 12, 15, and 17). But, it was active and only 2 hours so I thought it was worth the risk. To my surprise, we were all able to get up on the surf board and my 15 year old might have found a new hobby. The instructors were patient and efficient and we all had fun.
While in Lisbon, we went to several other beaches, but this beach was the nicest and least crowded and best for learning surfing of the 3 we visited.
They provide everything you need and the length is a good amount of time for the activity., though it might have been nice to stay at the beach longer.
There is a photographer who takes pictures that you can buy as an option (cash or PayPal) which was nice.

Super surf course - Nice beach, the teachers were very friendly, nice and explained everything well. First practiced on the dry and then tried everything in shallow water. Everything worked out really well in the end with the Help center of the teachers. Definitely worth it 👍🏼

Brilliant experience - my teenage kids loved it. - Best surf school my kids (now 18 and 16!) have ever been to. They thoroughly enjoyed their sessions, so much so they’ve just booked in their third session. Instructors are brilliant - patient, helpful and genuinely seem to love helping others enjoy the sport they clearly are passionate about. Thoroughly recommend!

Loved the Surfing! Great Instructor! - Great instructor! Everyone caught waves! Name started with a J (Joaz? Shirt said Johnny) ….Instructions were clear and perfect for beginners. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try it. We had a great time and spent the rest in the day at the beach.

Perfect waves for learning and outstanding instructors - Our instructors Leo and Johnny were terrific and the photos that Raquel took were outstanding. We are two families with teen and pre-teen kids and Leo and Johnny were so kind, patient and supportive. Everybody in our group caught waves and had so much fun. The conditions in Caparica are perfect for learning and there were even some fun waves for the bit more advanced. All the kids eventually made it past the small white water waves out to where they are just a bit bigger, and they were all stoked after catching multiple waves. They all want to go again!

Great surf school..Viator a disappointment. - The pick up and instruction by ‘go surf Portugal’ is excellent, we had a great time, highly recommend. I would book direct in the future as Viator admin did a poor job and brought up to them didn’t answer back. Short story great surf school, Viator a disappointment.

A little disorganized - While the actual surfing and instructor was fine, we found the company to be a little disorganized. Because traffic has been so heavy lately on the bridge they asked us to take the ferry over where drivers would be waiting to pick us up. Okay. But when we arrived the driver was not waiting and we spent 5 minutes trying to figure out if we were just supposed to wait or if there was some place we should go. Eventually the driver showed up but said that they needed 2 drivers for all of the students but they only had 1 so we had to wait another 5 minutes for the 2nd driver to show up. And it was in the 90s that day - so hot! And the van had no A/C. Some waters in the van or at the surf spot would have been appreciated. After we had finished surfing there was no communication on where to wait to head back or when we would be leaving. They need to be on time and better communicate to the students what is going on.
