    Moana Surf School is the place to go!

    Absolutely amazing experience with Moana Surf School! It was my first time surfing, but that was no problem thanks to the highly skilled instructors. They made the experience so much fun by being incredibly patient, giving great advice, and making me feel safe in the water. The whole team, including Alex, Miguel, Tomi, and Violette, was super friendly and fun to be around. The session was well organized and full of positive energy! Moana Surf School is definitely the place to go!

    Great surfing experience

    We had an absolute blast during our first surf class with Moana Surf School! There were three of us, and from the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and excited to learn. Everyone was super friendly, patient, and incredibly helpful. They broke everything down in a way that was easy to understand, even for beginners. We learned so much—not just how to get up on the board, but also about technique, and reading the waves. The instructors were clearly passionate about surfing and it showed in the way they taught and encouraged us. By the end of the class, we were all catching waves and cheering each other on. It was a fun experience. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a fun, active, and memorable way to spend a day.

    Response from the operator: Thankyou very much for your feedback and hope to see you in the future. Thanks from all the Moana Team.

    Surf happily!

    We happened to get to know Alex 8 years ago and booked a fantastic surf adventure with the 13 pupils of our senior high school class. This year, we visited this absolutely lovely place for a second time. As always, Alex and his team were very friendly. They picked the class up at the hotel and we drove to his stunning place. The staff is very friendly. The pupils and teacher fully enjoyed the lessons and the surfing experience. We would certainly recommend this surfing school, place and people to anyone looking for a fun activity. Moreover, the beach bar is the icing on the cake !

    Response from the operator: Hi Els, Thanks for your feedback. Was good to see you again and the awesome students who came with you. Hope to see you again in less than 8 years! :-) Thankyou again from all the Moana Team and have a great 2025 summer. Alex.

    Your First Surf Class!: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Your First Surf Class! cost?

    +

    Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cascais usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Your First Surf Class! take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 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 Cascais is not rushed.

    Is Your First Surf Class! worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 58 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cascais, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Your First Surf Class!?

    +

    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 Your First Surf Class! suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Your First Surf Class!?

    +

    Around 20 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 Cascais 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 Cascais and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Your First Surf Class! 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 Cascais 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 Cascais?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cascais experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Surf Experience in Cascais, Best of Sintra Private Tour with Local Guide & Hotel Pickup, E-bike in the backroads of Cascais and Sintra. 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 Cascais?

    +

    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 Cascais?

    +

    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 Your First Surf Class!?

    +

    Included: Surf board, wet suit. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    What languages is Your First Surf Class! offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, Russian, English, French 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 Your First Surf Class!?

    +

    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 Your First Surf Class! wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Your First Surf Class! if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Cascais. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.

    What do travelers say about Your First Surf Class!?

    +

    Across 58 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include photo opportunities. The views and photo stops come up again and again.
