Great Instructor, Incredible Experience!
Our instructor was Francisco (Cisco). He was great with our son and managed to teach us all to surf in one lesson. We could not recommend Special Surf, and Cisco enough!
via Tripadvisor
Excellent set-up & a passionate team
Excellent set-up with Nuno and the team. We had 2 lessons with Francisco, who was clear, encouraging and very patient. Good fun, mostly (!) as surfing is a proper workout. We also hired bikes from here for half a day and was great to cycle through Baleal and further up the coast for beautiful views.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for this nice review! It was a pleasure and we hope to see you again soon. Keep surfing!!! Bih hug

Fantastic experience and improvement!
I had a fantastic experience with Special Surf 78 and would thoroughly recommend them. The booking process was easy and flexible and my instructor, Pedro, was friendly, clear and really keen to help me improve. The session made a big improvement to my ability in a short space of time. They were also very focused on our safety as well as making sure we enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended for surfers of all levels.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much!!!! Was a plesure, and we hope to see you again soon :)

Great spot and instructor for beginners
We really enjoyed our surfing lesson, there were lots of small waves to practice on so we never had to wait for a wave (early September) our instructor was great and easygoing. We had never surfed before but we were able to stand and surf small waves on our own by the end of the 2h private lesson! It was our favourite part of our trip to Portugal.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much!!!! A big hug, and keep surfing! :)

Fantastic time surfing in Peniche
My husband and two sons, aged 9 and 11, had a fantastic time surfing with Rachel. She was an excellent teacher and radiated positivity! They all made progress over five days and had a great time. This is our second time surfing with SpecialSurf78 and we hope to be back again soon.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much!! Was a plesure and we hope to see you again soon!!! Big hug

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Hours Private Surf Lesson in Peniche and Baleal: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does 2-Hours Private Surf Lesson in Peniche and Baleal cost?
+
Prices start at €90 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lisbon usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Hours Private Surf Lesson in Peniche and Baleal take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lisbon is not rushed.
Is 2-Hours Private Surf Lesson in Peniche and Baleal worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lisbon, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Hours Private Surf Lesson in Peniche and Baleal?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Hours Private Surf Lesson in Peniche and Baleal suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Hours Private Surf Lesson in Peniche and Baleal?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lisbon can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lisbon and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Hours Private Surf Lesson in Peniche and Baleal start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lisbon within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lisbon?
+
On Outty we rank every Lisbon experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Lisbon City Center Tour - The Unmissable Lisbon, Sintra Private Trip from Lisbon Customizable Dreamlike Experience, True 4Hour Private Tuk Tuk Tour: Discover Lisbon with a Local!. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lisbon?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lisbon?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
