Best teacher in Bali!
Sofi is the best surfteacher in Bali! He is funny, but can be serious when needed. I was kind of scared of the water first, but Sofi let me feel safe. He has a lot of knowledge and i could ride small waves in the first lesson I did with him. Definitely try a surf lesson with Sofi, you will love it!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Rosa, looking forward to surf again soon!

Amazing surf lesson with Sofi
I’ve been surfing with Sofi while traveling in Bali and I can really recommend. It was my first lesson and he explained everything well in the beginning. Also in the water I felt very comfortable and had a lot of fun. So if you are in Canggu and you wanna try surfing you should definitely check out Surfing with Sofi 🤙🏽
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your review! Looking froward to surf together soon again

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Beginner Surf Lesson in Canggu Small Group: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Seminyak.
How much does Beginner Surf Lesson in Canggu Small Group cost?
+
Prices start at Rp 525,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Seminyak 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 Lesson in Canggu Small Group 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 Seminyak is not rushed.
Is Beginner Surf Lesson in Canggu Small Group worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Seminyak, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Beginner Surf Lesson in Canggu Small Group?
+
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 Lesson in Canggu Small Group 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 Lesson in Canggu Small Group?
+
Around 7 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 Seminyak 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 Seminyak and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Beginner Surf Lesson in Canggu Small Group 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 Seminyak 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 Seminyak?
+
On Outty we rank every Seminyak experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Experts Bali Driver : Best Bali Private Driver for Tour in Bali, West Bali Tour: Taman Ayun, Ulun Danu Beratan, Jatiluwih Rice Terrace, Tanah Lot, Best of Bali 3-Day Packaged Tour. 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 Seminyak?
+
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 Seminyak?
+
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 Lesson in Canggu Small Group?
+
Included: Bottled water; and Locker. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Beginner Surf Lesson in Canggu Small Group include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Beginner Surf Lesson in Canggu Small Group offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Javanese. 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 Lesson in Canggu Small Group?
+
