We focus on doing one thing well: proper surf lessons, with attention to detail and real progression. Our surf school is located directly at the foot of the Maspalomas dunes in Playa del Inglés, as close to the beach as it gets. When conditions are right, the local beach break offers very good waves for learning and improving. We work with a permanent team of qualified instructors and keep our groups small — maximum 5 students per instructor. This allows us to adapt each session to the level and goals of every surfer, whether it’s your first time or you already have experience. Small groups, local knowledge, and consistent instructors make the difference — and lead to a relaxed, enjoyable surf day with real progress.

Great time
Great Workshop. We learned alot and had much fun. We would do this again
via Tripadvisor
Amazing experience
An amazing experience, perfect both for complete beginners and for those who already have some basic surfing skills. After a short theoretical and practical introduction, it’s time to hit the water! You are divided into small groups so that everyone can receive the attention and guidance they need. We were lucky enough to be with Marta, and we absolutely loved her! She was super attentive, friendly, and always made sure everyone was having fun while learning. Passionate, patient, and truly caring! Definitely an experience worth trying. Four hours that are suitable for everyone, full of fun and great vibes!

Supportive and friendly teachers, the best day of our holiday
My boyfriend and I had the best time learning to surf! Jordàn was very patient with me and a fantastic teacher! The whole crew were so friendly and welcoming! It was such a nice vibe! Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be booking another lesson on my next holiday! 🏄

Amazing
Amazing experience! The teacher was great and my dad, friend and I thought this was the best day on our holiday
Response from the operator: Glad you three had a great day with us! It was a pleasure surfing with you all — hope the rest of your trip was just as good. You’re always welcome back anytime 🤙

Very clear and helpful, great experience
It was awesome! Martha really knows what she is talking about. She explained it all very clearly, she was nice, chill and understanding. She helped us in the first part but we could also try individually to catch the right waves. Really really recommend!
Response from the operator: Great to hear you had such a good session! I’ll pass your kind words on to Marta — she’ll be really happy to hear that. Hope to see you back in the water with us again! :)

Why this scores 85
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Small-Group Surf Lessons in Gran Canaria: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Gran Canaria.
How much does Small-Group Surf Lessons in Gran Canaria cost?
+
Prices start at $69 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Gran Canaria 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 Lessons in Gran Canaria take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Gran Canaria is not rushed.
Is Small-Group Surf Lessons in Gran Canaria worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 151 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Gran Canaria, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Small-Group Surf Lessons in Gran Canaria?
+
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 Lessons in Gran Canaria suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small-Group Surf Lessons in Gran Canaria?
+
Around 53 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 Gran Canaria 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 Gran Canaria and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small-Group Surf Lessons in Gran Canaria 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 Gran Canaria 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 Gran Canaria?
+
On Outty we rank every Gran Canaria experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Puerto de Mogán: Coastal Cruise with Optional Snorkeling & Lunch, Guided tour of the Banana World, Gran Canaria Red Canyon: Small Group Tour & Local Food ツ. 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 Gran Canaria?
+
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 Gran Canaria?
+
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 Lessons in Gran Canaria?
+
Included: Photos of you surfing; Bottled water; Snacks; In-vehicle air conditioning; and Surfboard, Wetsuit, Rash Vest, Leash, Fins. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Small-Group Surf Lessons in Gran Canaria?
+
We are at the end of the big car park (direction dunes) next to VolcanInk Tattoo Studio. You can either park in the car park or find free of charge parking along the road that circles the car park. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Small-Group Surf Lessons in Gran Canaria 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 Small-Group Surf Lessons in Gran Canaria?
+

Is Small-Group Surf Lessons in Gran Canaria 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.
