    I surfed for 5 days with Surf Lisbon <3 Firstly, we went to the beach in mini bus from the center of Lisboa, and same for the return, which was very well organised! At school, they have all of equipment needed! Also, if you have any question, you can message them and they answer very quickly. I have never surfed before and with this amazing instructors, suddenly everything starts to be easily. After every wave, they gave me a feedback and make sure if I am progressing and smiling ! Thank you to Diogo, Tomasz and Sérgio and others for the best time. See you guys soon! It was a pleasure to explore surf philosophy with you !

    This surf school is amazing! They taught me how to ride waves in no time and were super understanding and funny at the same time. All of the teachers are super open minded, good at explaining and super friendly. Honestly, I had the time of my life there and I’ll definitely come back! The hostel itself is super tidy, the staff is super friendly and helpful. I felt very welcome, at home and was sad when I had to leave.

    I had a fantastic experience surfing the waves on beautiful beaches together with happy people. The instructors are giving you the best vibe and for a day or two you are forgetting everything else and feel just happy! I can recommend Surf Lisbon 100% to others!

    I keep returning to Surf Lisbon year after year. Out of the surf schools I've tried, these guys are the absolutely best! They teach in small groups with attention to individuals, all wrapped up in a friendly vibe. Staying at the surf house is always a blast where you get to hang out with surfers from all across the world in a relaxed environment. It really becomes a home away from home with shared dinners in the house or going out for drinks in one of the local bars. A huge thanks for everyone in the team for making each visit an unforgettable one!

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at here , and I can’t recommend this place highly enough! The surf lessons were top-notch. Instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and tailored their teaching to each individual’s skill level. I was impressed by how quickly I improved and gained confidence on the waves, all thanks to their expert guidance. After a day of surfing, there was nothing better than relaxing in the communal spaces or enjoying the stunning ocean views. The atmosphere was incredibly friendly. Furthermore, the location couldn’t be more perfect. Being close to both the beach and not far from the city allowed for a wonderful blend of outdoor adventure and urban exploration. All in all, my experience at here was nothing short of spectacular. I can’t wait to return for another unforgettable adventure. 5/5 stars without a doubt!

    I had an amazing experience at the Surf House Lisbon. Everything from the room, surf lessons, and time frame was super easy and simple book online. The Surf House Lisbon crew are one of the most friendliest people you will meet, they are happy to answer any questions you have on booking and accommodation. I have nothing but praise for the surfing school as they had the right mix of hands on training/guidance vs letting you do your own thing. They always took you to the best spots so you'll have the best experience possible. Thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with Bruna, Diego, and crew throughout the few days I was there. Can't wait to come back!

    I took 3 half-day surf lessons with Surf Lisbon as a total beginner and had such a great experience! The instructors were super friendly and always patient and supportive, giving tips to improve your technique and to ensure you will get the most out of the sessions. The value is also really good considering the transport and equipment is all included. I enjoyed it so much and found a new love for surfing, would highly recommend these guys!

    I had a great time here :) Stayed at the surf house and had 5 days of lessons. The instructors were all lovely and really friendly and I got good feedback on how to improve my technique. The house was great, really clean and everything was well laid out and met some lovely people who were also surfing! Will definitely be coming back, thanks Surf Lisbon! :)

    I had an amazing stay and surfing experience at Surf Lisbon! The instructors are patient, nice, fun and competent! The house is comfortable and it's really easy to meet people and make friends. Big shout out to all the team for the great memories!

  • 5/5 Caroline R. 9 months ago on Google
    Awesome place to stay especially as a solo traveler. The staff at the house as well as the surf instructors are amazing and encouraging. They separate you into groups based on your level of surfing to make you feel comfortable. It’s cool to see how you can improve over the days if you decide to do more than 1 day of surfing which I recommend. The house is clean and comfortable and has various communal areas to meet people. I definitely recommend doing the yoga and surf package because the yoga in the morning helped me feel more prepared for surfing during the day. 10/10 experience, I’d definitely stay here again!!

  • 5/5 Jess P. 8 months ago on Google
    Just visited for the day. Initially booked a half-day lesson, but had such a fun time they were able to book me for the afternoon as well! Full of hospitality, fun, and patience. They’ve put together an incredible team of folks who really care about Portugal, surfing, and teaching. This was my first time ever even going NEAR a surfboard. If you’re on the fence, BOOK IT!!! They really did inspire me to embrace this sport and can take wait to surf again soon. Sending the whole team at Surf Lisbon so much love! - Jess

  • 5/5 Rami A. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing surf experience! Stayed there for 4 nights and surfed for 3 full days. Instructors pay attention to detail and always provide you with feedback to improve your technique. Above all, they are great people making your overall surfing experience very enjoyable. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be back soon!

  • 4/5 Igor Z. 9 months ago on Google
    The service was really fast and reactive…I called them the same day and they picked up and we booked an appointment. The text message conversation was really fluid too and the payment method easy. The monitors were really really cool (Lucas😉) . The location perfect. It was like a private beach. The courses and the organization were really nice to likewise the transport service. The only reason why I don’t put 5 stars is that I would have liked to have photos during the session for memories

  • 5/5 Lewis H. 4 months ago on Google
    I had a great 4 day surf camp, lessons were all great with thanks to the instructors. I stayed in one of the private rooms which were very nice. The team are always responsive and very helpful. Cannot recommend this place enough and i will be back for more!

  • 5/5 Anna S. 6 months ago on Google
    I was there for 5 days and it was amazing! The surf instructors were great and paid attention to everyone, giving tips and supporting you, no matter what level you’re at! The surf house was well-equipped, clean and I loved the vibe (I was a solo traveller and made friends quickly). Even after just a few days it already felt like home! I can only recommend going there and I will definitely come back one day!

  • 5/5 Dominic T. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best surf house experiences I have encountered. The staff are very welcoming, caring, and passionate about what they do and make you feel comfortable and at home. The house is very clean and open with plenty of room, cooking space, and great vibes for all types of people. The surf instructors are passionate about what they do and want you to succeed and actually take the time to critique you for your best output. I personally had Bruno, mainly, as an instructor and I couldn’t recommend enough, and I know the others are just as great too and excited to learn and talk with you as a person. Diego also is a great person to talk too and very down to earth. Huge shoutout to Lucy for being a great hostess and a surf instructor that pushes you to be better as a surfer (in a good way). Highly recommend for beginners and people with experience (for all levels of experience) to visit this surf house. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you guys so much for everything! I’ll definitely be coming back in the future. 10/10

  • 5/5 Sára S. 7 months ago on Google
    The instructors were amazing and very friendly, just sometimes it felt like there are too many people in the water with not enough instructors. The Surf House is very cute and has many chill spaces and is very friendly. There is a beach right across the road with bars etc. I enjoyed this stay and would gladly come back. :)

  • 5/5 Alec R. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great people to surf with. Did a private lesson as someone with a little more experience and had an awesome time. Super fun to surf with and very helpful in giving tips on additional information on surfing all around Portugal. Also wanted to point out how great they were at communicating and responding to correspondence. Made it very easy to plan. Definitely reccomend.

  • 5/5 Inês Ávila R. 3 months ago on Google New
    If you’re looking for surf lessons, this is THE school! All of the instructors speak English and are so nice and funny. Their knowledge and experience makes you feel safe in the ocean all of the time. Boards and wetsuits in excellent condition, you just have to take your swimsuit to put under. I recommend 100% !!! (Haven’t stayed in the surf house because I live nearby and so I can’t make a review, but I’m sure it’s great as well).

  • 5/5 Fad A. 3 months ago on Google New
    I had an amazing time! The instructors were fantastic, providing excellent guidance for all levels. Stunning surf spot, top-notch equipment, and a team that truly cares about your experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for an awesome surfing adventure! Can't wait to return for more waves and fun! 🏄‍♂️🏄‍♀️🌊🔥

  • 5/5 Mohammed Al D. 3 months ago on Google New
    I took a private surfing lesson , it was first time I tried surfing. I Relay enjoyed it, and it was a great experience.Diago was my instructor. He was great and very informative and described everything step by step . Highly recommend for anyone thinking to take surfing lessons

  • 5/5 Kasia H. 3 months ago on Google New
    I took a 2-hours lesson with a lovely instructor Bruno who have encouraged my confidence and explain the technique in detail. It was a fun experience and I came out of it feeling more knowledgable and confident in my surfing adventure. Recommend for complete beginners and those with more experience alike.

  • 5/5 Sini P. 1 year ago on Google
    Had an amazing time with Surf Lisbon! I have never tried surfing before but since I was in Lisbon due to work and had one free day, I wanted to give a try for the waves. Booking an half-day surfing experience was the best decision I could've made! Booking itself was really easy, convenient and I felt well informed all the time. Pick up service was really handy. I felt genuinely welcome throughout the time I spent with Surf Lisbon. The staff was super nice, supportive, professional and made everyone felt like we belong to the team. Atmosphere in Surf Lisbon is so positive and happy that it makes it hard for not to keep smiling throughout the whole experience. Also, for a first timers point of view, teaching was spot on: things we practiced were not too easy or too challenging. Everyone got personal feedback after every wave and this was really motivating and helpful. All in all, I loved my time in Surf Lisbon and will definitely come back! Obrigado!

  • 4/5 David O. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience, great staff and surf teachers, very supportive and friendly.. The atmosphere in the house is nice to meet nice people. I definitely recommend this place. I'm not putting 5 stars because there are a few things that could be improved to make the place a 5 stars: 1) breakfast options are very limited (no eggs or croassaint) and always the same everyday. 2) the wetsuits to surf they provided us were not clean, I had to use everyday very dirty wetsuit. 3) I stayed 1 full week in a shared accommodation but I never saw the cleaner lady to come to clean the room during the whole week, even if all the rest commom spaces (toilets, kitchen) were always clean 4) They don't recycle at the surf home, I couldn't separate plastic from glass, and organic wastes.

  • 5/5 kika v. 2 years ago on Google
    If you are hesitating to come here, stop doubting and just do it! You will feel at home and have an amazing time with the best surf instructors, the really nice boss of the house (Nuno), the lovely house, the amazing people,... This is just an amazing experience and I'm sooooo happy that I found this place! I'm already coming back in one month hihi. :)) I only surfed two times before I came here and I feel like I've made progress because of these surf instructors. They are locals and really passionated to teach the surfing skills. They are also focused on safety in the water (what to do when there is coming a big wave,...) what is very important. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone! I'm so thankful and I'm already looking forward to see everyone and to surf again! :)) Muito obrigada! xoxo Kieks

  • 5/5 Mari M. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a great few days staying in the surf house & taking lessons. Nuno gave me a very warm welcome & made sure to introduce me to the other guests, as I was travelling alone. The lessons were fun, adjusted to everyone individual level & the instructors were very laid back. If I come back to Lisbon, I’ll definitely stay here again ☺️

  • 5/5 Jane K. 1 year ago on Google
    Great experience!! They took us right from the city to the beach. They supplied all the gear and boards. The instructors were great and very helpful! They made sure you knew what you were doing, were safe, and were having fun. Highly recommend using them! (Bring water and sunscreen when you go!6

  • 5/5 Sara B. 1 year ago on Google
    This team is fantastic. Quick email responses, great communication, and great attitudes in-person and online! My friend had a great time learning from them and they made her feel very comfortable. I unexpectedly had to cancel my lesson due to knee surgery, but still used their transportation service to get to the beach. Definitely recommend!

  • 5/5 Damien B. 1 year ago on Google
    An amazing experience. I'm not a beginner, I have been surfing for 25 years. But I wanted to be guided to the spots of Lisbon and take some advices along the way. The instructors are awesome they take a good care of beginners and still take time to give me extra good tips to both my surfing technique and my positionning strategy on the line up. The staff at the house is super professional and lovely. The house is charming. A short ride to the lively Lisbon but still in a quiet place. I will definitely recommand the experience and will come back for sure.

  • 5/5 Victoria A. 1 year ago on Google
    We had an amazing time with Surf Lisbon, we stayed at the surf house for 5 days, went surfing full day everyday. I have never surfed before and to my huge surprise I managed to learn so much. The instructors are great, friendly, fun, they give you feedback and confidence. Very grateful to Diogo, Tomas, Bruno, everyone! The house is very nice too, cosy, great location, everyone is so friendly and there’s a great atmosphere. Nuno and Louisa are awesome ❤️ I can’t wait to come back!!!

  • 5/5 Zoe W. 2 years ago on Google
    Best surf school I've ever been to. Diogo and Bruno were incredible and I learnt and improved so much just from the 3 sessions I did. Having a central pick up spot was ideal as it meant I didn't have to travel far. The fact they used different beaches too was great because they could find the best place to surf. I love Lisbon so I'll definitely be back and next time I'll stay at the house because it looked and sounded awesome. And thank you Nuno. You were so helpful and kind!

  • 5/5 Meda K. 10 months ago on Google
    I recently organized a session for our office members with this surf school, and it was an absolute blast! The instructors were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and made sure everyone felt comfortable in the water. It was a great experience for all of us, and everyone had a fantastic day. Highly recommend this surf school for an enjoyable and memorable surfing adventure!

  • 5/5 Đorđe M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is the experience I will never forget. The school has many instructors so don't hesitate to come up to any of them. All of them are very opened and have good jokes, so besides learning how to surf you'll have a great laugh with them! Even though I have never surfed before, I managed to surf on my first class, and i assure you with these coaches, anyone can! Definitely recommending this school and hopefully see you soon!

  • 5/5 Ildefonso Ferreira P. 1 year ago on Google
    I had a two hour surfing lesson, as a total beginner, and the experience was great. All the staff members were very friendly and helpful which made everything from the booking, the transfer to the beach and back, and the surf lesson go very smoothly. Thanks a lot Surf Lisbon!

  • 5/5 torsten r. 1 year ago on Google
    It‘s always a great experience to stay at the surf house and surf with these absolute gorgeous instructors… we went there more than one time and we will be there in the future. Surf Lisbon is one of the best schools all over. Build your own opinion and book your trip!

  • 5/5 Peter S. 1 year ago on Google
    Me and my BIL had an amazing time with Surf Lisbon surf school. We booked 1/2 day and went to Praia do Torre for lessons. Small waves, very beginner-friendly. Our instructors were great! Big shout out to Hugo and Lucas. Will definitely book again next time I'm in Lisbon.

  • 5/5 Huanqi J. 1 year ago on Google
    The time I spent with this team was absolutely incredible! Surfing Lisbon has an amazing team!! All the instructors are very patient and kind. The housing is surprisingly clean and comfortable! I had a wonderful time here! Btw, it's 5 minutes walk to the train station. It takes around 10 minutes to the city centre by train. Also, the housing place has amazing sea views! Don’t hesitate! Go ahead and sign up!

  • 5/5 Nicolas F. 1 year ago on Google
    Great surf school for all levels. The instructors were very friendly and helpful. Really helped me with improving my technique. We had a great day surfing some sweet waves!

  • 5/5 Lilly H. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Experience Ever! My friends and I had such a great time going surfing this past weekend! The instructors were very informative and really helped us since it was our first time. The weather was beautiful and I will definitely be picking up surfing when I go back home. Thanks for a great time, Surf Lisbon!

  • 5/5 Sophie M. 10 months ago on Google

I highly recommend the Surf Lisbon experience to everyone :)
