AI summary of 28 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the instructors for being encouraging, patient and fun, with guides helping beginners stand on boards and catch waves even on their first attempt. What stands out most often is the combination of the full-day experience, which includes multiple surf sessions, a barbecue lunch prepared on site, convenient central Sydney pick-up and drop-off, and a scenic private beach setting that feels exclusive and uncrowded. The instructors' approach of teaching at each person's own pace whilst maintaining group energy, alongside the care taken with logistics and the quality of the food provided, receives repeated mention. A common caveat is that the day trip is demanding and requires sustained energy throughout, though this does not diminish travellers' overall satisfaction.
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.
Eight of us rode out in the back of an old Land Cruiser, with Deano joking all the way. His teaching was spot on and easy to follow even without much English, and watching him read and pick waves for us beginners finally helped me understand it.
We had a great day surfing with amazing instructors. JJ was really welcoming and cooked us a great meal.
We had a brilliant full day with JJ, Dino and the crew, who were friendly and helpful the whole way through. Booking was easy and we felt safe in the water. A great way to get into surfing.
We headed to a lovely private beach outside Sydney, and Dean was a terrific coach who made the day great fun. Lunch was ready for us and we got a second surf in the afternoon. Very well organised.
A really good experience and we learned to surf. Be ready to keep your energy up, as it runs all day.
A great surf day for a beginner like me, with plenty of time in the water. Deano is a good laugh, lets everyone learn at their own pace and encourages you to have a go.
