    Fantastic surfing experience with lovely instructors!

    A fantastic experience! We booked a two hour surf lesson for our children aged 8 and 10. The instructor Jamie was patient and provided clear instructions. It was easy to book the session and the staff in the shop were friendly and helpful. Our children loved the session that much they want another surf lesson! I would highly recommend!

    Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por tu valoración y comentario hacia nuestras actividades y personal que trabaja con nosotros. Esperamos veros de nuevo pronto. Saludos y buenas olas!!

    Perfect new adventure for the adventurous.

    Our group of five had varied skills, from a 69-year-old me to 13-year-old grandson. We had one experienced surfer. Everyone else was brand-new. We all got a little better, and two did really well (including the grandson). The instructor was highly skilled and very patient. There were two other really large groups of kids, possibly from summer camps, and it appeared they were having fun, and closely attended.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your rating and comment about our kayak activity, we hope to see you again soon

    Nice experience, would do again

    We did the 2h surfing course for beginners and we had really much fun! The surf school offered a guidance in english and spanish. We started with some theory at the beach and then went into the water where the teacher gave us helpful tips 1by1 and helped us to catch the waves. The price (35€ per person) is absolutely fair and the atmosphere was really great. The exact time of the course is determined by the waves and the weather, but since the school got a whatsapp-number i could simply ask for the exact time one day before. The reason we did not give 5 Stars is the missing shower/changing room (they offered to fill a watering can at the foot-shower from the beach to clean us, which was alright for us) and that we had no locker for our stuff. We left our bags in the school but had to leave the keys and phones in the bag and hope that the school will take care. It all went very well, all employees were very trustworthy.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your evaluation and comment regarding our facilities and activities. As you could see, our facilities are small and we do not have nor do we indicate that we have changing rooms or showers. Yes, there are lockers where you can leave your belongings watched at all times by the staff in the store. We hope to see you again so that you continue enjoying our activities. Greetings!

    Great experience for my 7 year old daughter

    My 7 year old daughter had a 2 hour private lesson and Matteo he was just so lovely and patient…she was a bit scared to start with but by the end was totally overcome with happiness. The centre itself was a bit busy and the owners somewhat militant about going inside wet or sandy but overall the amazing lesson was worth it. We were staying in Alicante and took the tram over which was really easy - we stayed in the area for lunch and had a fantastic day. If you have young kids request Matteo as he was lovely.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your evaluation and comment. Regarding our monitor, he is very efficient, patient and hardworking. In accordance with the rules of our establishment, there is a sign at the entrance of generous dimensions where you are indicated the same ones in which we inform you that you cannot enter barefoot, with sand or wet. We are glad that you enjoyed the experience and the day in our town. We hope to see you again soon. Greetings and good waves!!

    Beginner Surf Course: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Alicante.

    How much does Beginner Surf Course cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Alicante usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Beginner Surf Course 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 Alicante is not rushed.

    Is Beginner Surf Course worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 15 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Alicante, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Beginner Surf Course?

    +

    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 Beginner Surf Course 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 Beginner Surf Course?

    +

    Around 5 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 Alicante 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 Alicante and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Beginner Surf Course 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 Alicante 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 Alicante?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Alicante experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Alicante Paella Cooking Class, Tapas, Drinks & Central Market, Alicante Wine Tasting and Tapas Club, Canelobre Caves and Busot Tour from Alicante. 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 Alicante?

    +

    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 Alicante?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Beginner Surf Course?

    +

    Included: surfboard, safety rope (leash), lycra or neoprene, monitor / s, locker service to store be. Not included: drink, food, transfers or any other that is detailed in included. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Beginner Surf Course?

    +

    Carrer La Mar beach, at the height of the Fisherman's Monument, between the Six Pearl Restaurant and the 100 montaditos. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Beginner Surf Course offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Beginner Surf Course?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Beginner Surf Course if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
