Details
If you already are an experienced surfer but want to take your technique to the next level, our surf guiding in Cascais, near the Portuguese capital city, is the best way to achieve that! Together with one of our instructors, you will tailor the session according to your needs. The beaches of Carcavelos and Guincho are the best places to do it, thanks to their big and powerful swells. Depending on your level, we can also go find the best waves within a 50 km radius, from Caparica up to Ericeira. That is why they are among the most famous places for surfing worldwide! If you feel confident enough in the water, the instructor can also guide you from the beach while taking pictures and videos of you, so you do not forget this amazing experience.
