The experience
The day starts at Costa da Caparica, a stretch of coast where the Tagus meets the Atlantic and the fossil cliffs are protected landscape. You begin on the sand with a certified yoga instructor for one hour, moving through simple poses and breathing work designed to relax both body and mind. After that foundation, you move into the water for a two-hour surf or bodyboarding lesson, your choice at checkout, with an instructor who watches your technique, provides video footage so you can see what to adjust, and supplies all the equipment you need.
The instructors speak English, Spanish or Portuguese depending on the group, and pickup from Lisbon is included. You'll need to bring a swimsuit, towel and something to wear for yoga (shorts, jeans or yoga pants all work), and the operator asks for your height and weight when you book so they can fit you properly. The activity runs in all weather except dangerous sea conditions, and if that happens you get to reschedule or take a full refund.
This is a working class, not a tour: you're learning two skills in one session, so the pace is built around instruction rather than sightseeing. The combo format means you get the relaxation of yoga before the intensity of surfing, which most people find easier on the body than jumping straight into the water.
Top questions
Can I be picked up at my hotel?
You can choose: pickup at your hotel, or go straight to the meeting point. When you book, you choose your hotel from 278 pickup locations; if yours isn’t listed, you can type in your address. Pickup is about 15 minutes before departure.
What languages is the tour guided in?
Live guide in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (6 to 12 years). Children under 6 can't be included in the booking.
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
Can I do this if I've never surfed or done yoga before?
Both the yoga and surf instruction are designed for beginners. The yoga instructor guides you through simple movements and breathing. The surf instructor teaches you in the water from the start. You do need to be a confident swimmer in ocean waves and have at least moderate fitness, since surfing is a physical sport.
What's the difference between the surfing and bodyboarding options?
Surfing uses a larger board and requires more balance and upper-body strength. Bodyboarding uses a smaller board and is generally easier to learn. Both come with full instruction and equipment. Pick the one that matches your comfort level in the water.
Is the private session worth it over the group class?
Private sessions give you one-on-one instruction from the surf and yoga teachers, so feedback and pacing are tailored to you. Group classes share the instructors with other participants, which costs less and can be fun if you enjoy learning alongside others. Both include all equipment and video review of your technique.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day I book?
The activity runs unless sea conditions are dangerous. If it's canceled for safety reasons, you can reschedule for another date or receive a full refund. You'll know before you travel from Lisbon.
Do I need to bring anything besides a swimsuit?
Bring a towel and clothes for yoga: shorts, jeans or yoga pants are all fine. The operator provides all surf or bodyboard equipment, and sports insurance is included. Wear something you don't mind getting wet and sandy.
