The Caparica Surf Experience was great. You get clear instructions to arrive at the meeting point and the instructors go through a handful of clear exercises on land before going into the water. These exercises also translate seamlessly in the water. And having 2 hours to surf gives you enough time surf, capture some great moments on video and photo's to commemorate your achievement for the day. The Caparica Surf Experience is thus very worth it and great value for money!

Itinerary
Surf in some of the coolest hidden spots with a local surfer. Go to the Costa da Caparica, where the Tejo River (River Tagus) flows into the ocean. A place of amazing natural heritage, the fossil cliffs of Caparica are a “Protected Landscape.” Carved by the fury of the waves and elements of erosion, the coastline receives swells of all kinds. It’s a consistent surf area, offering a variety of waves for all levels of surfing experience. Full surf equipment and wetsuits are provided, along with optional video footage, so you can check out your technique and make any necessary adjustments.

It was a fantastic experience. A good mix of on the beach teaching and getting into the water and doing it. I would say it is quite exhausting so make sure you are prepared and conserve your energy. Filipe was our instructor and he was really good. One of those types where you can tell instantly he’s very experienced. He was also quite funny and willing to help us out when we struggled. Also very down to earth mentioning it was quite late for us to start surfing but we can get it with time if we stick with it. Overall awesome experience.
I had a great experience and Filipe was a great instructor. Everyone in our group was able to get up and ride a wave by the end of the experience. Highly recommend!
Great experience! We were all complete beginners, including one child, and the instructors made us feel comfortable and confident from the start. Friendly and professional staff, clear instructions, and a fun surf lesson. Highly recommended!
I booked the experience for my sister. It was a surprise for her birthday and she loved it. It was a great experience for her she was really enthousiastic about it. Thank you for that!
Overall had a great surf lesson! The basics were explained to ensure we knew what to do. The valuables and clothes were locked up so we didn’t have to worry. The waves and beach were beautiful and all the instructors were super nice, helpful, and informative. I would totally book this trip again!
Pros - friendly and knowledgeable teachers, plenty of time in the water, good teacher to student ratio (about 1 for every 4-5 of us), started from the basics and built up, wetsuits and boards supplied, good price, valuables were kept securely while we learnt Cons - given the group size it could be a bit crowded in the water, one of the tutors didn't give much feedback on technique (although the others were fantastic)
the instructors are super lovely, they’re very encouraging and helpful by giving good advice. the beach itself is a really good place to start out, consistent waves that aren’t too big and really soft sand all around. really glad we went and thank you to the guys today!!
Very good surf teachers - great experience. Was lots of fun, can really recommend it! The waves and beach are perfect for beginners.
Would highly recommend. This was informative, fun, and encouraging. I have been surfing for 28 years and still learned much!
Awesome experience with great instructors - even helped us find a good place to eat afterwards! Thank you to the team that runs this.
The trainers were brilliant and they taught me a lot. The beach is beautiful and the waves were perfect. 10/10 would reccommend
I was hesitant to this excursion I’ve never surfed before but in the end everyone in our family really enjoyed it. The instructor was really helpful
We had a great time! Our instructor David was amazing. We were split into smaller groups between the three instructors so we got a lot of one and one time and even managed to get up on our feet a couple of times which we were delighted with.
What an amazing experience! The school was incredible, and the people there? Absolute legends. The instructor was the heart and soul of it all—kind, encouraging, and with a passion for surfing that’s downright contagious. I’m not sure if I learned to surf or if I just spent hours laughing and having the time of my life. 10/10 would wipe out on the waves with them again! 🏄♂️🌊
Mauro was very helpful, he really watched each surfer's technique & form and then had lots of tips and tricks to improve your skillset. He also led a great warm-up that basically made this experience an all-in-one yoga class + surfing lesson. Our lesson had people from a variety of skill levels and he was able to meet each surfer's needs tactfully. Would definitely recommend this surf school & will return next time I'm in Lisbon.
Great atmosphere all the way around. The instructors were fun, patient and extremely helpful. Would comeback in a heartbeat.
Our family had a great time learning how to surf. The instructors were very patient and explained surfing very clearly. How highly recommended them
Guide speaks great English. I accidentally booked two sessions and he easily and quickly got me a refund right away for one session. He gave good tips and all around was a great time!
Filipe was a great instructor! You could tell he gave everyone the individualized attention they needed. He was passionate about surfing, and actively worked to make sure we had fun, learned, and were safe. Thanks Filipe!
Great instructors and a good group of fellow surfers. I had a blast with my brother while we visited Lisbon. 100% would recommend
The one called Miguel has to be known, first for his capacity to be a great "pédagogue", and versy nice compétent teacher, and a unbelievable transmeter of greatness in surf way of life :) A for sure a lot of anecdotes to hear from him too !!
We were looking to surf in the area of Lisboa and we found GetStoked online. A very good price and you can be picked up at the Lisboa Zoo so you do not have to travel yourself to the beach. The communication was very well over whatsapp and the instructor Miguel was so enthousiastic and welcoming! The wetsuits fitted as a glove and we were able to stand on the board in the water! Definitely worth it!!
We were all beginners in my group, we were first taught the theory and then got straight into it. The experience of the instructors were amazing, highly recommended.
Miguel was an amazing instructor, everyone in the group was up and riding waves in no time. 10/10 would recommend to anyone traveling to Lisbon
It was my first try, If I had more time in Lisbon I would definitely take more classes. Our instructor was Manuel, he was very interesting person and a good professional. Me and my friend, both enjoyed very much. I highly recommend everyone to give it a try.
It was a fun experience! The instructors were experienced, so it is good for beginners as well. The waves were small, which makes it also good for beginners
It was a super fun experience! The instructors are experienced and give clear instructions. This was really good for a first time
The experience was amazing, and the teachers Miguel and Nuno were so funny and available! Everything was perfect
Big thanks to GetStoked Portugal for this great experience. We had so much fun:) Big shoutout to Miguel and Felipe !
We had a great time. Filipe is a very good and patient instructor for those who are absolute novices. Highly recommended!
It was a really good experience. At the beginning the weather was not good, but then it turned to sunny. Thanks for our very patient coach Miguel. He encouraged me a lot. Hope join again in the future.
It was an very Good Surf Experience. The Instruktors did a Great Job. So it was a cool day. If you are in the area go and Go Surfing with this Guss. I recommend them.
Amazing experience with a very wonderful crew. We had never surfed before, and the entire team did a great job of helping us all to learn very quickly. They were very professional and nice people. Would definitely recommend even if you have never been surfing before!!
It was an amazing experience, thanks to the enthusiastic instructor, definitely would recommend! 2 hours are plenty enough for the start, if you are trying it for the first time.
An experience to absolutely do to enjoy the Lisbon ocean to the fullest. September is a recommended month to do this activity. Team of prepared, professional, friendly, and helpful instructors. If you like sports, two hours are enough for you to fall in love with surfing!
Felipe and Carlos were very good instructors, always attentive and encouraging in this first lesson of this very difficult but very beautiful sport, we will definitely remember it!
La amabilidad es una característica que se hace notar en los portugueses, Filipe una persona increíble, la clase muy entretenida, aprendimos mucho de surf y nos la pasamos increíble. Sin duda alguna si vuelvo a ir a la Costa de Caparica, volveré a contactar con ellos.
It was truly incredible! The teachers were educational, we progressed throughout the session thanks to their advice. They are always near us and guide us from start to finish. I learned a lot about surfing and about myself, they really pushed me to surpass myself. Know that the same day I was sick, well I had so much fun that I no longer felt any symptoms! To do again without hesitation ^^
Una delle esperienze più belle della mia vita. Gli istruttori sono molto bravi, simpatici e gentili. Assolutamente da non perdere se si viene in Portogallo.
A unique experience, very good and nice, well organized. It was a lot of fun. One thing I will gladly remember and pleasant to tell
It was really on top! Filip is really super nice, very accessible. Miguel was really a sweetheart! The activity is really fun, and really I recommend 1000%, they are really human and super friendly
Extraordinary experience. The instructors were very qualified. They took time for everyone and were very committed to the fixes. Congratulations to the team. A special rating for Felipe, the owner, who on the way back shared his knowledge about Lisbon.
