What you'll do

Come and enjoy the sand, sun and surf in one of the surfing capitals of the world, whether a beginner or an expert, we'll find the perfect waves for you.

You’ll be met at Vargas, a bar on the southern tip of Matosinhos Beach, to enjoy the sense of freedom of being out in the waves in the refreshing waters of the Atlantic, under the warm sun and surfing your way into shore with each perfect wave.

Your instructor will provide a safety briefing and a demonstration of some of the basic moves, then it’ll be time to get stuck in!

Spend a couple of hours catching the right wave and riding it into shore for the ultimate coastal thrill, and discover the addiction that is surfing.

Or, if you fancy yourself as a bit of a pro, simply let us know before the start of the tour and we’ll get you out to some more serious, bigger wave spots. After all, Portugal is the home of the biggest waves in the world…

After your time enjoying the freeing surfing sensation, it’s time to head back in and dry off. You can either choose to relax on the beach, grab a transfer straight back to the city, or hang around Matosinhos to try out one of the many incredible fish and seafood restaurants.

Pedro Urgel

Born and raised in the delightful city of Porto, apart from a two year stint living in Scotland in my younger days, I have lived in Portugal all my life. When I was around 35, myself and a couple of my travelling friends (one of which is my brother), decided to set up our company. We set out scouting Portugal, visiting the places no one visits, meeting people, exploring landscapes discovering all these authentic towns. We know the country like the back of our hands, so when you go on one of our experiences you get an experts insight and learn so much more than you would visiting alone.
