    Red Star Surf are great instructors, and create a friendly environment. This is the second or third time we have booked with them - 100% recommend.

    Fab experience which we will be repeating

    We had a fantastic surfing experience and are already planning to book again! The instructors were incredibly friendly and patient. They took their time going through the technique on the sand and made sure everyone understood and had got the hang of the basics before heading into the water. Once we were in the sea, it was amazing and such a fun experience. We were also given the opportunity to extend the lesson by another two hours, which included some filming and personalised feedback. As an extra special bonus, one of the instructors took our 6-year-old out into the water for a little while with a board. She absolutely loved it and it totally made her day! Highly recommend, and we’ll definitely be booking again!

    The best surf school on Lanzarote

    The instructors are outstanding, patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly encouraging. They focus not just on getting you on your feet, but on teaching proper technique, ocean awareness, and surf etiquette. You really feel like you’re learning something meaningful, not just ticking off a tourist activity.

    Fun and pro!

    One of the best surfcamp I've been to! The instructors were all super pro, fun and organized, groups were small enough to get some personalized tips and they took time to review the essential techniques at the beginning of each class. We stayed at casa 55, which was 10min wall from the beach, with a great rooftop and a comfy living room. We'll definitely be back!

    Surf Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Surf Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing cost?

    +

    Prices start at $57 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lanzarote usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Surf Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing 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 Lanzarote is not rushed.

    Is Surf Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 75 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lanzarote, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Surf Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing?

    +

    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 Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing 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 Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing?

    +

    Around 26 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 Lanzarote 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 Lanzarote and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Surf Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing 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 Lanzarote 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 Lanzarote?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Lanzarote experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guapatinis Show Bar Experience, Tour to Timanfaya, Jameos del Agua, Cueva de los Verdes and viewpoint from the cliff, MHT Lanzarote - Comedy Drag Dinner Show Experience - No1. 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 Lanzarote?

    +

    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 Lanzarote?

    +

    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 Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing?

    +

    Included: Surf board, wetsuit, rush vest. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Surf Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing?

    +

    We will meet up at our surf shop RED STAR SURF on the main road of Caleta de Famara. The exact address is Avenida el Marinero 9. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Surf Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing offered in?

    Is Surf Lesson for Beginners in Famara: Introduction in Surfing wheelchair or stroller accessible?
