AI summary of 18 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the instructors and staff for being patient, encouraging and creating a welcoming atmosphere that makes the weekend feel like a social gathering as much as a learning experience. The instruction quality, comfortable accommodation, good food and overall organisation of the camp stand out most prominently across the reviews, with many noting they felt safe whilst learning to surf and appreciated the balance between structured lessons and free time. The main caveat raised by one reviewer concerns the timing of the afternoon briefing, which they felt would be better held at the camp rather than on the beach during hot weather.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
My weekend at Surf Camp is one of the best of my life, and I wish I'd stayed longer. The crew had a great sense of humour, and Luis, Jake, Ricky, Matt and Tom took us out on green waves and made me believe in myself when it got hard.
My second time at Surf Camp and another blast. Ella and James were great instructors, and I'd recommend a weekend away there.
An amazing experience with nice, helpful staff. I had such a fun weekend and already miss it.
I had a blast on my weekend at Surf Camp. Tommy and Ronnie were great instructors who taught me surf theory as well as how to get up on the board. The food was filling and the cabins were just what we needed.
I spent the weekend with them and had a blast. A great place to learn to surf and make lasting friends, and Tommy and Ronnie were awesome.
Max and Ronnie were patient, passionate and funny teachers, and we had a fantastic weekend with them.
