About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- NK7041CD0 contributionsWe had so much fun!31/10/2024 We have just had our first ever surf experience with the fabulous Surf Life crew… and we loved it! As a family of 3 we opted for a private family lesson. Our instructor was Edu and he was accompanied by Julia, who was there for our 12 year old. All of the staff were welcoming the moment we stepped into the shop, and before you knew it you were on the beach warming up and learning the three steps to surfing. Our son was very nervous about getting into the water and it is all thanks to the patience and care from Julia to coax him in. After that it was surf surf surf. I cannot rate this experience highly enough, and it’s all down to the Surf Life team. Thank you for helping to create lasting memories for us and we wish you all the very best. We had such fun!Written 1 November 2024
- 610matef0 contributionsGreat surfing, good vibes, low crowd:)I and my wife had a great time with Surf Life Tenerife! We had private lessons with Edu and he taught us very well while we also had a lot of fun together. We also had a few group lessons with Guillermo and Marta which were also great! Everyone in the team was very nice, welcoming and helpful with good vibes:) We also liked the teaching location as it was never really crowded. Looking forward to the next sessions with you guys!:)Written 7 October 2024
- tonytiges770 contributionsGreat Surf tuition for kids from Surf LifeMy two boys (11 and 14) wanted surf lessons. The previous year they had three days tuition in Gran Canaria.. and wanted to get back in the surf whilst we were in Tenerife. We searched around and we wanted a more private lesson for them. This was perfect.. although aimed at 'couples' this worked really well. Once booked we were contacted quickly by Surf Life to start arranging details (even though we booked early evening....). We quickly switched to communicating via WhatsApp where we could confirm a few more things about the boys and the previous experience. Although we were staying a little further out from their normal pick up radius (Playa Parisio) ... we were offered a pickup and drop off for our two boys AND both myself and the other half.... for a very reasonable fee (half the price of a return taxi/Uber). We had a WhatsApp message the night before to confirm pickup time. We were picked up on time as communicated... and following two further stops to pickup other surfers... we were well on our way to the Surf centre. Once dropped off at the Surf Centre, they were quickly suited up and assigned boards and were heading the short walk (200m) to the beach. A short reminder of the basics on the beach.. a bit of stretching ... and they were out in the waves. After a few tumbles off the board, they were back into the swing of things, catching the waves. Throughout the session the boys were looked after and provided some tuition and pointers on their technique. The time went so quickly .... and the boys were back ashore glugging water and consuming some well earned calories... Would recommend Surf Life for Surf tuition as they were extremely friendly, communicative and great value.. and if you have kids that want a more private lesson, know that they will be looked after. Will be booking again when we are next back in Tenerife....Written 2 September 2024

- F5281MNadrianac0 contributionsDon’t miss out ! This is the perfect thing to do in Tenerife.My friend booked a private surf lesson for me as a surprise and it turned out to be the best gift ever ! Had such an amazing time, this is a perfect way to explore, enjoy the sea, the sun and actually exercise. I was very lucky because I had a magnificent instructor. Marta knew exactly what I wanted and what to say to get me from 0 to standing on the board in only 3 attempts. With great humour and many useful secret tips I would absolutely recommend not only Marta as an instructor but Surf Life Tenerife. It’s a great team focused on you having a good time, learning and building unforgettable memories. I look forward to going back soon !Written 28 April 2024
- terezamichalova780 contributionsWonderful easy-going experience with MartaMy kids 13 and 15y old took 2 lessons with Surf Life Tenerife and they were thrilled. Beautiful Marta was their surf guide and she gained their trust immediately. She was very clear in communication, had their repect, cared a lot about safety and focused on positive experince so the kids would improve their skills and especially enjoy surfing now and in future. I was happy to choose this surf school qnd certainly plan to come back! The initial communication with Ali here was fast, friendly and clear. Thank you!Written 22 April 2024

- georgiacap0 contributionsBest surf experience ever!This was the best surf lesson I've ever had - Guillermo was a brilliant teacher - I learned so much and he paced and pitched the session perfectly with top technical tips, constant support and safety checks and lots of fun. It is not an obvious location for a surf school (in a mall) or surfing (very rocky beach/reef in a busy resort) but it turns out to be my most successful and enjoyable surf experience having tried many amazing places and schools around the world. A great team and school - so grateful.Written 23 December 2023

These guys love their jobs, and it shows in every aspect—from the great advice they gave me about my planning to the overall organization of my trip—starting with the pickup at the airport and cool and cozy hostel accommodation they arranged, through driving me and other "students" to their school, all the way down to the actual training sessions!
I had three instructors over my four lessons—Angela, Guillherme, and Marta (the shark!)—all fantastic and enthusiastic people, not to mention their teaching skills. :-) The group lessons start with a warmup, then some theory (adjusted to our needs and questions), and then water time! In a group of 6, there was plenty of time to practice, with the instructor helping or guiding, and over four lessons, I learned the basics, enjoyed a few dozen waves on my own, and most importantly, had a lot of fun!

As total beginners we booked a 5 day (group) course and I can highly recommend Surf Life Tenerife. The instructors were amazing and very professional. They took individuals skills in consideration and took really good care of everybody. The surf spot was close by the school.
All in all a lot of fun & a great experience!!

Booked three days of 2h classes, had plenty of fun and learned solid fundamentals to take part in lineups.
Instructors (Ciao Angela :D) were great and helped in understanding how to behave in the water, guiding the preparation and safety in the water. Never felt alone or at risk during the activities and kept improoving throughout the experience!

Amazing experience, 100% recommend
6 days of surfing and I was with several of the instructors, all great and very good teachers, always with the focus on learning and having fun:)
They also have a photographer and you can buy the photos (very professional) after the shoot
Mention Sharki, the best teacher and best transfer driver, good vibe from early morning <3

The holidays were great. The hostel La Tortuga is uniquely beautiful, clean and has a great atmosphere with the choice between a quiet and a social part. The surf sessions which can be booked in the surf camp package were good and the surf class per instructor was small so you get a lot of valuable tips and starting help. However, the 3-hour lessons also include transport to and from the school, as well as gathering the appropriate materials. Therefore, the effective surfing time per day is less than 2h. If you want more, you have to be aware of this. However, the island offers enough to fill the rest of the day with activities. A small minus is that a no-show booking must be reported 48 hours in advance in order to be refunded or rescheduled (often not possible in case of illness). Overall, I would absolutely recommend the surf camp. It was a beautiful experience and I hope to be able to come back some time in the future.

The groups are small and the participants are divided according to their surfing experience. The trainers are young, experienced adults who clearly enjoy surfing. Communication works great in English and accessibility via WhatsApp is top notch.
I felt in good hands at all times and enjoyed surfing 🏄♀️
The water temperature was very pleasant. The facilities on site are more than adequate in my opinion.
Note: Stone beach (didn't spoil the experience)

We spent two amazing weeks with Surf Life school. Everything is really well organized, starting from booking and communication.
There is a big choice of equipment, very friendly staff, group pick ups organized. But what is the most important: the coaches here are truly committed and do adapt to one’s needs and level. My husband and I had already had some surf camp history in the past and wanted to really progress our technique, while learning some intermediate level tips rather than starting everything from 0. And this is exactly what we got, starting from day one! Even on the days with tiny waves, the instructors found a way teach us useful things about the ocean and paddling techniques that we leveraged once the swell arrived. :)
Long story short, a huge thank you to the team, if we ever come back to Tenerife, hope to see you again and catch some bigger ways together! Daria & Niko
