Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great two days of surfing. Really good explanations for beginners, Seb and Max were with us in the water all the time and gave us feedback after each wave. Really nice experience, I recommend all beginners to take their first surf lessons at Volcano Surf Lanzarote.
We would come back any time!

We have brought our teenager children back to Seb for the last 4 years! It is now the reason we come to Costa Teguise and we always book 3 sessions in a week. Seb and currently Seb II but previously Charlie speak multiple languages and make the session fun and exciting for everyone who goes. The memories and surfing skills learnt with Seb will last a lifetime and we cannot recommend volcano surf enough.

I was in contact before my vacation to get some appointments for surf school lessons. Contact was nice and responded quick.
Charlie was my teacher all the time and he always want you to be happy during and after every lesson.
After three days of surfing I feel comfortable on the board to go on my own. Good job Charlie. However I booked one additional lesson on my last day to have more practice with an instructor.
They gave me gave me a discount which was pretty nice.
Can totally recommend Charlie to everyone and for every level.

Rented a board with the guys for two days while staying in teguise. Seb the owner was welcoming and friendly and recommended a super fun board on my second day on the advice from Charlie the instructor who seen me surf the first day.was super stoked when I thanked him was genuinely happy I enjoyed it so much.Great value for money as rental and transport were included. I only rented a board but Charlie the instructor gave some great tips and was great to surf with these guys. If your looking for an instructor go with Charlie highly experienced and can see his passion for the ocean comes across.

There were three of us and we booked 3 units in one week. The first lesson (absolute beginner) was not easy but it was so much fun. The instructors just make a great atmosphere and motivate you to keep going. We learned a lot and the people are so nice and fun to be around. Who wants to learn surfing or already can absolute recommendation, it was a great time.

As an older lady of 53 (granny surfer) wanting to learn how to surf the waves, I was really Worried about how people would see me.I had 3 lessons with Sebastian over 2 visits. Yesterday was my 3rd with another lady, Wow, what an amazing experience. He explained everything from sea safety to the technique. Sebastian was patient with me and made the whole experience a great one. I did it. I surfed..What a great feeling. I can’t thank him enough. I would definitely recommend this surf school to anyone visiting the island.

Booked a beginner surf lesson with my friend who had this on her bucket list. What an experience! We are not youngsters anymore but still wanted to see if we had it in us. Charlie was such a great guy; so encouraging & an excellent teacher. He was in the sea the whole time giving one to one tuition around the group. It is not for the faint hearted. Very physical & testing but such fun too. Pleased we managed to stay the whole lesson from 10-1pm. Beautiful beach at Famara on North side of island. It was well worth the cost of the lesson with transport & lesson. Seb & Charlie are super guys. Thank you so much Lisa & Jean xx

I initially booked 3 courses as an absolute beginner ( first time in the ocean actually ).
Charlie was a great instructor, with really positive attitude and a lot of patience.
The gear and trip to the beach and back was nice, we had constant supervision and many good advices.
I can't emphasize enough how frinedly and cool Charlie was about the whole time, I even managed to convince my partner to join, so we booked an extra day together in the last minute without any issues.
Thank you so much, this is an experience of a lifetime!
Hopefully see you guys again someday!

I took a course of four days to learn surfing. I haven’t surfed before in my life and during those four days the surf Coach Charly, who is very friendly and also a good surf coach, taught me how catch waves, to stand up, take turns and even how to surf big waves. In Addition the location where we always went, was perfect for all different levels of surfing.
All in all it was an awesome time and I really learned how to surf in those four days and I caught a lot of good waves. Therefore I recommend this surf school,
Thanks for having me.

Great Instructors. High quality equipment. Super organized & reliable. Lots of fun!
I headed out for a morning of surfing with the crew at Volcano surf school, where I was brought to Famara beach. The beach was a gorgeous spot and perfect for learning and progressing as the lesson went on.
Charly was my instructor and straight away it was clear how much he loves and understands surfing and that we were in good hands for the lesson.
I learnt how to position myself on the board properly, how to stand up smoother, how to turn and as a weightlifter who is constantly being told to keep my knees pointed out, I finally learnt how to stand on the board more like a surfer.
I came back to spend the day out on the waves before flying home later on, and managed to catch some of the big waves in the line up after putting together the pieces Charly had taught me.
I can't recommend this place and the surf instructors, Charly, Alex and Seb enough! Thanks for having me & see you again soon!

When do you have to pay a trip...When you're actually there or before?
Written 2 May 2018
You can pay upon arrival. They will find you a board and wet suit and then you pay before you go to the surf spot.

We're coming to Costa Teguise in mid August 2017 and husband and teenagers (15 and 13) definitely want to surf. They have frequently surfed in Newquay, UK and have found a few hours each day is enough. Does Volcano Surf offer morning or afternoon only lessons? Are the 3 or 5 day lessons progressive in the tuition? Can 5 day lessons be taken at any time over the 10 days we are in Lanzarote? How large are the groups? How far in advance should we book? Any/all answers appreciated, thank you
