Really great lesson and instructor! Everything was organised very well with pickup, surfing equipment, and drop off. Pointers given during the lesson were extremely helpful.

First time solo holiday in Porto
Had a great time with the Porto surf school surf lesson. I tried to organise the sup tour but unfortunately there wasn't enough people also looking to be able to operate while I was there. Rather than just saying no we can't help you ( like most places would have done) they offered to keep me updated if that changed but also offered the surf lesson as an alternative. As surfing is something I wanted to try I accepted. Any questions I had were answered super quickly and also seemed to answer any time of night or day (through email I expected to be replied to within office hours but got a reply at 9pm one night) so I have to say the service was top notch. It's rather embarrassing but I'm not able to remember the name of the gentleman (I'm awful with names) that ran the lesson but I believe we were his first solo class with this school and I must say he nailed it. The whole day was fun and even though nobody had met before in our group I felt like it was a bunch of friends just going on a trip together. We went to a beach about a half hours drive out of Porto as it's less busy and had better waves for beginners. He was super patient with us all and help be constructive and supportive the whole time. By the end we had managed to catch a couple of waves and couldn't stop smiling. All in all I would recommend Porto surf school from start to finish
Response from the operator: Dear surfer, Thank you very much for your so kind comments and for taking your time to express them. We are very glad that you had enjoyed so much your time with us. We hope in your next visit you can go for a SUP tour also. Thank you again for being with our school. Porto Surf School Team

Great introduction to surfing for a beginner
Had a great first experience of surfing with Porto Surf School. Instructors were good at teaching and the class was well run. Managed to stand up on the board and catch some waves by the end of the morning so mission accomplished!
Response from the operator: Hello! Thanks so much for the awesome review! We're so glad you had a great time and that we could help to accomplish your mission! Keep practising and enjoying the waves hope to see you back soon! Best regards Your Porto Surf School Team

Riding the Waves
Myself and my friend had a fantastic time on our surf lesson. Alfonso was a great teacher and helped us beginners to get the hang of it. We even stood up a few times !! I would definitely recommend this trip, the pick up and drop off made it very accessible. Bonus points for Alfonso’s playlist !
Response from the operator: Hello! Thank you for you amazing review! We're thrilled to hear you had a great experience! Keep surfing and we are looking forward to surf and share new playlist together with you again! Best regards! Your Porto Surf School team.

Why this scores 70
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Surf Lessons in Porto with transfer at Porto Surf School: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Porto.
How much does Surf Lessons in Porto with transfer at Porto Surf School cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Porto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Surf Lessons in Porto with transfer at Porto Surf School take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Porto is not rushed.
Is Surf Lessons in Porto with transfer at Porto Surf School worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Porto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Surf Lessons in Porto with transfer at Porto Surf School?
+
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 Lessons in Porto with transfer at Porto Surf School suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Surf Lessons in Porto with transfer at Porto Surf School?
+
Around 15 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 Porto 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 Porto and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Surf Lessons in Porto with transfer at Porto Surf School 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 Porto 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 Porto?
+
On Outty we rank every Porto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Unvanquished Tour in Porto City Center, Porto's #1 Walking Tour, Small Group Geres National Park Full Day with picnic from Porto. 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 Porto?
+
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 Porto?
+
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.
