Great surfing experience - We had an absolute blast during our first surf class with Moana Surf School! There were three of us, and from the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and excited to learn. Everyone was super friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful. They broke everything down in a way that was easy to understand, even for beginners.
We learned so much—not just how to get up on the board, but also about technique, and reading the waves. The instructors were clearly passionate about surfing and it showed in the way they taught and encouraged us.
By the end of the class, we were all catching waves and cheering each other on. It was a fun experience.
Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun, active, and memorable way to spend a day.

Great time at Quicho beach - We had a great time with Bernando as instructor! He helped us to ride some nice waves. If you go to Cascais and the weather allows it, take time to experience the Atlantic Ocean.

Open at Christmas. A young team motivated to make us live a beautiful experience. Attention highly addictive activity - Excellent care by the team on site, who must have listened to our needs, and our availability. The on-site team is honest and professional, taking us from one beach to another to look for the best conditions for progress, and not hesitating to cancel a session when the sea is not conducive. Sessions in Portuguese, English and even French (special thanks to Tiago). From Quebec, we had an exceptional Christmas. Muito Obrigado the gang!

Surf's up! - What an amazing experience! Alex and his team were wonderful and made sure our family had a great time surfing for the first time. Bernardo was in the water with us the entire time and was great, and really took care of us including our 9 year old! Will def recommend to friends!

You're not alone! - I had this class booked with the Salty Pelican Portugal and booked a second class for the next day right after! This is an absolute recommendation for anyone trying to get in touch with the sea or to improve their surfing. The team is super friendly and supportive, they stay with you through the whole session and help you navigate the waves and board so you can focus on your balance without knowing waves from the start. They adjust to your level during the class keeping you learning where you are at.
November is mild and surfable, a recommendation, too!
We'll be back!

Excellent experience! - We were a family of four--2 adults and 2 boys, ages 9 and 11. The surfing and instructors were excellent! We ran late for our class and Alex and the team were extremely accommodating. The kids said it was definitely one of the trip highlights!
