    We were recommended Go Surf Lisboa by a friend who lives in Lisbon and were not disappointed.

    Having no real surfing experience, we booked the 5 day course. Every day we learned something new, starting from the take-off technique and the basics of timing for catching your own waves, to the theory of forecast and the nature of water in motion!

    The whole team? Everyone was extremely professional, helpful and surprise, surprise, hella charming too eyy ;)

    Don’t hesitate just book x

    We chose Epic Surf school because of the very good online reviews and our expectations were more than met. The contact with Rui was very nice and we were helped with all our questions. On site everything was explained to us very well and we had five incredible private surf lessons with our surf instructor Simon, who taught us an incredible amount in the short time and always provided a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere. If we have the opportunity, we will definitely come back. Thanks for the great experience! Keep up the good work.

    I booked the Tagus river dolphin tour via the Oceanario website and the tour was amazing. One of the best experiemces I had in my life. I was on the tour on Friday the 22nd of September and we got to see common dolphins swimming out in the Atlantic Ocean. It was absolutely magical. The marine biologist with us which acted as a tour guide taught us a lot off fantastic information about the dolphins and she spoke excellent wnglish so it was very easy to understand what she was saying. Also the boat driver and in general the whole crew at the office were very welcoming and helpful. I wojld definitely reccomend this tour. Unfortunately we did get to see a dead dolphin floating in the sea but as our guide said it is part of the wild life experience. In additio. to the dolohins they gave us a quick tour of some of Lisbon's famous sights by the river and we got to see a lot of jellyfish near the mouth of the river. Good job to everykne and I hope I can clme back and see new types of dolphins next time.

    We happened by this boat cruise company on our walk of Belem and decided to give it a try. It was available within a 1/2 hour and given we were exploring decided to take the 2 hour tour. What a treat. We had the whole boat to ourselves (only seats 5) and the trip was amazing. Saw incredible views of Lisbon, the Salazar bridge and a number of other cool sites. The seats were bean bag chairs and were amazingly comfortable. The price was fair at 35 euro for 2 hours. This trip had great value for the investment. Would definitely recommend this company to all.

    We booked the Venus to go from Lisbon to Cascais but unfortunately the weather turned on us and we had to turn around half way there (it was the day after a hurricane!). Pedro couldn’t have been more accommodating and took us back towards Lisbon and gave us a tour around the more sheltered areas. In the end, we got more time on the boat and a lovely tour which more than made up for it. The boat is beautiful, and Pedro is a very experienced skipper (this was the first time he’d ever had to turn around and this was clearly outside of this control) as well as a genuinely lovely host offering great value for money. I’d recommend his boat / tours to anyone in Lisbon.
