Best surf school in Tenerife!
Oli & Anne were fantastic, if you want to experience some great surfing with great coaches, then look now further! I came with my son and Oli catered for our varied abilities in a small group which was much better than the large groups you normally see in Tenerife. Can’t recommend these guys enough! 🤙🏼

Best school in Las Americas
I had four private classes with Airam and it was a great experience. I'm a beginner but not new to surfing. He corrected some mistakes that I would never realize I was doing. After that I had a great time in one of the biginners' spot in Las Américas catching all the waves I could get and still learning every day a bit more. Definitely the best school! Thanks guys!
Response from the operator: Hey, thanks for your review, it really helps our business. We are super happy with Airam and I'm glad you enjoyed your time with him. He is a great teacher. Good to hear you got a lot of waves. Keep on learning and surfing!

Hidden Gem
Raph was amazing with Ava. So much so we’ve booked another 4 lessons. Ollie was just as amazing last year. What a little gem of a school. They guys really explain each stage as you learn. Safety was paramount. Would 100% recommend them.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your kind words. We really try to offer the best lessons and advice possible so people learn the best way. Happy to hear Ava had a great time! Greetings from Oli and Anne

The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and excellent teachers who tailored the lessons to our skill level. They provided a safe and fun learning environment, and we were able to progress quickly under their guidance. I highly recommend these lessons to anyone looking to learn to surf or to improve their skills. Thank you for the unforgettable experience!

Why this scores 67
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tenerife.
How much does Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tenerife usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas 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 Tenerife is not rushed.
Is Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tenerife, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas?
+
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 Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas 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 Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas?
+
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 Tenerife 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 Tenerife and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas 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 Tenerife 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 Tenerife?
+
On Outty we rank every Tenerife experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale watching & listening Eco-Catamaran Tour with Snacks &Drinks, 3-hour Whale and Dolphin Watching and Listening Tour, Teide National Park Sunset & Stargazing Coach Tour – Hotel Pickup. 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 Tenerife?
+
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 Tenerife?
+
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 Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas?
+
Included: Surfboard, wetsuit and boots. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas?
+
Our Surf School is located in Shopping Center Parque Santiago 2, shop 46. You can enter from two sides with stairs going down. Make sure to take your time to find a parking spot, as that might be challenging sometimes. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas offered in?
+
It is offered in German, English, Dutch 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 Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas?
+
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.
Is Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Small Group Surf Lesson in Playa de las Americas if the weather is bad?
