Among the sunniest and most beautiful corners of Europe, Portugal’s southern coastline is also ideal for surfers. On this exciting, 2-hour excursion, you’ll have the chance to, with instructor guidance, take to the waves and learn the basics of surfing. Your surf experience begins at a central location in Cascais at a time of your choosing. After meeting your instructor, you’ll be transported to Cascais, Guincho, Carcavelos or Praia, depending on the day’s weather conditions and your group’s experience levels. Once you arrive, drink in the gorgeous Atlantic scenery and get ready to learn how to surf! All of the necessary materials are provided, and your guide will provide you with detailed instructions for stand-up and paddling techniques, as well as safety rules. Following the briefing, you’ll have around one and a half hours at your disposal to practice what you’ve learned and to enjoy the waves. Visitors from the age of 12 and upwards are welcome to participate, as are beginners. After your outing has come to a close, you’ll be transported back to the Cascais meeting point, where the tour ends.
