Moana Surf School

Surf lessons were good although a little shorter than expected however time was made up. it was very busy - maybe a bit too overcrowded but then it was August!
Alex was doing a good job and instructors were good. Felt safe in the water.
Beaches were very good and clean.

They are THE GREATEST! Great people, and very very good instructors. I had a blast, and leaned a lot. Didn't expect that more than the board and wetsuit rental, plus that someone is having a look that your are sort of safe;) But got so much more. I can't praise Alex, Eric, Gabby and the guys enough. Really happy and definitely going back to Moana Surfing School at Guincho Beach.

I did the lessons with Moana surf schools - they were excellent. Alex collected me every morning from my accommodation and the lessons with Bruno were super. Guincho beach is beautiful - with some strong waves!

The surf lessons with Alexand Nick were absolutely fantastic. They looked after both me and my son very well in every lesson and adapted to suit our levels of experience and ability. They knew when to push you onto the next level and when to back off and let you rest - nothing seemed too much trouble. Our surfing ability has progressed pretty well and we now both have the confidence to keep going and as a result we'll be getting in the water as much as possible back home. The boards and wetsuits were in good condition and there was plenty of choice. We only surfed in Guincho beach - about a 5 min drive away. It was lovely - clean sands that were well looked after, a nice slowly shelving beach, lovely clean water, plenty of waves and a fantastic cafe to chill out after an exhausting day in the surf. All in all we had an absolutely superb time and whilst our bodies were aching from the amount of surfing we did, we really didn't want to go home and one day will go back again

The surf lessons were great too. We really liked the smaller groups and it made it a bit more interesting. The pick up in the morning was great and it gave us the whole day at the beach. We also enjoyed walking it quite a few times. Guincho beaches was great, we didn’t explore the others but will next time.

The surf was great, Alex was very patient with us :) Chilling out in the Bar da Guincho in the afternoon was so relaxing and felt like a million miles away!

The surf lessons were just what I wanted; simple, effective instructions and the freedom to practice them. The fact that I got a smaller board when I started to progress was really great, something I wish surf schools I've been to in Ireland did. After the weeks lessons I feel confident about getting my own gear and exploring the wesht. Bar do Guincho is easily the best beach bar we have ever been to.

Alex at the surf school was fantastic, very sincere and enthusiastic, with a great staff. Superb at looking after kids and very helpful with regard to lifts each day. Girls had a blast, really enjoyed it.

The real highlight was the surfing on Guincho Beach. Alex and his surf school team looked after us extremely well. Importantly we all got up and standing on the boards :). We originally planned one week in Villa Gale and a second week in Sintra but we enjoyed Guincho and the surfing so much we ended up spending most of our second week there as well. So yes, a great holiday made better by Alex and his team

The surfing was just exhilarating, emotion runs even as I recall it to tell you. Each of the instructors were super: fun, safety conscious, and encouraging

Surfing was great craic – loved the beach and the set up at Bar do Guincho – we had a few good nights there too! We went surfing here in Cork last weekend and the instructor said we didn't need anymore lessons so we're all a bit chuffed! All in all a great holiday

4 of the group went surfing and really enjoyed it. Alex picked us up every morning and he was really good with us

Surf lessons great, good instruction , well organised , friendly crew. Safety consciousness evident too . Weather and beaches ideal . No complaints.
