Amazing Experience!!
We stayed in the surf cabins and did five days of surf lessons in October. The waves were perfect this time of the year. We had an amazing experience with the surfing instructors. Pedro was awesome and very helpful. My daughters had three different instructors and they were all so fun, helpful, and nice. They remember Miguel especially. The surf school facility, the organization of lessons, and everything was top notch. The accommodations were very clean and comfortable. We would highly recommend families take lessons and stay with the surf school. It was an unforgettable experience and we’ll be looking for opportunities to return.

They're cracks!
We go every summer, this one we target the dwarf to surf lessons five days approx, it touched him with the monitor David, a love, a big boy that he knew how to take to his terrain and that had some earthquake in the group.... We will repeat with them again of course.

Incredible
I'm leaving, but not before highlighting the incredible team that makes up this school, from the girls at the reception, store, boards... they always welcome you with a smile, to all the teachers, including the surfskate and skate teachers... it has been an incredible experience I wanted to make a special mention of Pedro, without his technique and professionalism from day one, I'm sure I wouldn't have caught a single wave... thanks for the laughter in the water and making everything so easy! And Saul, thank you for the classes, the laughter, the moments... you have made me fall in love with surfing in all aspects, you are a professional from head to toe. THANK YOU TEAM!! See you in the waves🤙🏻

Special surfing
Undoubtedly a very special experience and to which I have certainly already hooked, not only because surfing itself, but also because of the Mood, Management and Organization of School and Classes. We can highlight the good work of the photographers, Ana making the groups the best for everyone, Renan who always has a smile and a good word or advice if you need it, Marta with her Pilates, kindness and advice in the water or several of the instructors that I have been or were there helping and giving advice to be well and learn, making me increase my instance there for how happy we were. Among them are Manu, Saul, Borja, Fried Egg, Fernando and Jordi, but without a doubt, from the one I have learned the most (85-90% of what I know), has made us want to return, that we feel comfortable in all areas, that there would be laughter while security, that was very humble and close to everyone putting themselves in the skin of each of the group and giving each one what they needed to progress is NATALIA, which is rating that it knows what it does.

Manu we'll be back <3
Second time surfing and great experience. Manu the best monitor I've ever had, extensive experience and individualized treatment despite being a group. I'll definitely try to ask you again when I get back. Great quality/price. Possibility to have photos. Aspects to improve: try to organize the same teachers for the days of stay of the clients. Lack of space (20 lockers/200 people). Massing of many groups in the same hours.
Response from the operator: Nos encanta saber que habéis tenido una buena experiencia con nosotros y, por supuesto, transmitimos a Manu tus palabras. Tomaremos muy en cuenta tus sugerencias de mejora ya que para nosotros es muy importante seguir mejorando día a día. Esperamos verte de nuevo muy pronto. Un saludo

Surf course 5 days: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Bilbao.
How much does Surf course 5 days cost?
+
Prices start at $183 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Bilbao usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Surf course 5 days take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Bilbao is not rushed.
Is Surf course 5 days worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Bilbao, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Surf course 5 days?
+
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 Surf course 5 days suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Surf course 5 days?
+
Around 4 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 Bilbao 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 Bilbao and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Surf course 5 days 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 Bilbao 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 Bilbao?
+
On Outty we rank every Bilbao experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Award-Winning Bilbao Food Tour & Wine Pairing by Basque Local, Bilbao Food Tour: Pintxos, Drinks, and Tapas with a Local, Dragonstone, Mundaka and Guernica from Bilbao. 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 Bilbao?
+
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 Bilbao?
+
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 Surf course 5 days?
+
Included: surfboard + neoprene; and Instructor + Civil Liability Insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Surf course 5 days offered in?
+
It is offered in English, Italian and French. 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 Surf course 5 days?
+
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 Surf course 5 days 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 Surf course 5 days 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 Surf course 5 days?
+
Across 11 reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5, recurring themes include organization. Pickup, timing, and logistics are described as running smoothly.
