Great surfing experience for starters
Excellent surfing experience and we had a great time. João and Guillermo were very good teachers and they made it so much fun.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the amazing feedback! We are so happy to hear your kind words. They take great pride in making sure every student has a blast while learning. We can't wait to surf with you again!

Amazing!
Amazing surf lesson! Both me and my friend got individual tips to get us to improve in the 2 hour session! Lovely people that arrange pick up and drop off from the beach to Lisbon which was super helpful. A really fun day out and would recommend to anyone!
Response from the operator: We’re so glad you enjoyed the session! We believe that even in group settings, individual tips make all the difference to help you improve. Also, happy to hear the Lisbon pick-up/drop-off made your day easier. Hope to see you and your friend back for more waves soon!

Fantastic coaches!
Me and a group of my friends booked a week of surfing lessons by the Way2Surf gents in June 2018. It was an absolutely amazing experience - besides the 2x day surf lessons, we were driven around the most picturesque spots of the Setúbal Peninsula, we were shown the nicest places to eat local food, and were treated like family in general. After our experience was over, every single one of us had nothing but the most positive memories of our time in Costa da Caparica. Driven by those memories and a newly found love for surfing, I came back to Portugal alone in June of 2020. Naturally, I headed straight to Way2Surf shack on the Praia de Sereia. For a whole week, the Way2Surf crew were nothing but most accommodating to me and once again I had a fantastic time. Surfing is a drug that you unfortunately cannot get in Netherlands, so I found myself back in Portugal again in October of 2020. This time I decided to explore beaches I have not been in before, so I set my sights on to the South of Portugal. However, with the basic skills of surfing handed down to me by Joao and Mario, I was confident enough to go into the ocean without the supervision of any instructor. I had a fantastic time and cannot wait to feel the sand under my feet again.
Response from the operator: Baileys ... we were speechless. Thank you very much for the words. A good group you guys brought to Costa da Caparica in 2018, we miss those days. Pleased to know that we have already made a difference in your relationship with surfing. Save a day to visit us in October ✌🏽. Abraço

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Surf & Friends: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lisbon.
How much does Surf & Friends cost?
+
Prices start at $59 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 Surf & Friends 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 Lisbon is not rushed.
Is Surf & Friends worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Surf & Friends?
+
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 & Friends 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 Surf & Friends?
+
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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Surf & Friends 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.
