What to expect

Aljezur Experiences offers tuition at Arrifana with separate group, family, private and children’s formats. The programme addresses first-time surfers and those progressing towards unbroken waves. The school’s website also provides local accommodation suggestions, but the surf lesson is the central bookable activity.

Tell the team the ages and experience of the group before selecting a format. A private or family booking can have different arrangements from a standard group session, so confirm the meeting point and equipment for that choice. Arrifana is on the coast outside Aljezur town; include the journey from the actual accommodation rather than relying on the municipality’s name.

Planning your visit

  • Group, family, private and children’s lessons are distinct.
  • Instruction focuses on beginner and intermediate levels.
  • Arrange the coast-to-accommodation journey separately.
