Joshua was great!

Really great experience. The surf instructors were all friendly and helpful. I had Joshua and he was very informative, helpful and funny. He made my first surfing lesson a lot of fun and was very encouraging - will definitely come back for another lesson when I’m next in Portugal. Thank you!

Awesome small group lesson

Awesome! Bruno was a fabulous instructor. It was my first time surfing (also my first time ever in a wetsuit) and I actually stood up! Took us to a little private island and it was absolutely beautiful and the waves were perfect. The facility was also very charming and clean. They have multiple boats so if you have a large party they can definitely accommodate but I loved my small group lesson, it was perfect.

It was such a unique & fun experience! Genuinely it was so beautiful where we surfed and was in a quiet part of the beach.

I booked again!

This was well worth the money and a good way to spend the morning. There wasn't much rush, and the boat ride was also fun. You are expected to carry your own board across some dunes - no problem, but you need a reasonable level of fitness. Instruction was good, I got help when I wanted it and left alone to practise when I wanted. I've re-booked this trip to do again!

Great surfing lessons

We had a great surfing lesson with Salty Experiences. Clear instructions, great beginner friendly waves, and an encouraging instructor. Almost everyone in the group managed to stand on the board for the first time which is testament to the great teaching. Would highly recommend anyone who’s interested in trying surfing to book a lesson here!

Not recommended in case of excessive swell

The surf instructors seemed very disorganized and only saw on the beach that the waves were much too high and powerful for beginners. Instead of turning around with us, about 25 beginners were sent into the water with 3 surf instructors. That was very negligent and dangerous. We were just happy that nothing happened to us instead of having fun at the surf lesson.

Wonderful experience

The waves were great for a first time on the board and the instructor (I think his name was Antonio) turned out to be really nice and prepared. He also recommended a great place to have lunch after class! To be redone absolutely!

Everything seem fine at...

Everything seem fine at first. However our instructor didn't give any tips but just kept talking to his friends. After a while we were more than 15 people in the water and without proper organizing everyone were just surfing at each other (also the instructor I mentioned earlier didn't look and just pushed people against each other). It was very unsafe and unprofessional.
