    Awesome time- highly recommend!

    We had the best time surfing with Luis! He picked our family of 5 up from our Lisbon rental and took us to a great beach for beginners with all the gear included. He is an excellent instructor- very patient, kind and helpful. We enjoyed chatting with him and spending time together. He even dropped us off at a place we wanted to explore afterwards and gave us tips there. We had a fun and memorable surfing day with Luis and highly recommend him.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much Ethan and family! Glad you guys enjoyed the surfing experience and I am happy my advices on Cascais were helpful :) You're welcome anytime!

    The Best Surf Lessons We Have Ever Had!

    I booked this trip for my two teenagers and husband and I dealt with Luis directly. He was professional, responsive and very easy to communicate with. He picked us up from our hotel in central Lisbon and drove us to the surf beach. The equipment and wetsuits were included and of very good quality. The lesson was perfect, Luis is an excellent teacher - calm, encouraging, knowledgeable and fun! He was in the water with them the whole time spotting waves and giving them the push they need to get up time after time. 100% the best surf lesson we have had and I would recommend without hesitation. We will definitely be back, thank you Luis from Milly, Robin, Finley & Elliot

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much Milly, Robin, Finley and Elliot :) It was such a fun morning. You're always welcome back!

    Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer cost?

    +

    Prices start at €65 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 Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 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 Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer 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 3 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 Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer?

    +

    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 Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer?

    +

    Around 1 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer 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.

    What is included in Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; Surfboard and Wetsuit; Surf Experience with Luis Perloiro; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 372 listed pickup locations in and around Lisbon. Be ready about 40 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer offered in?

    +

    It is offered in Portuguese, 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 Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer?

    +

    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 Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer 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.

    What do travelers say about Lisbon to Carcavelos Private Surf Lesson with PRO Surfer?
