Gecko Windsurfing in Correlejo

Gecko Windsurfing in Correlejo, just perfect. First class instructors from both Martin and Michael at all levels, probably more suited to beginners but as an intermediate I still learnt lots and even managed a few helitacks on the last day.
Very professional but with great laughs and fun. Also arranged accommodation in surf hostel which was just brilliant. As a solo traveler it was great to meet others on holiday. House was perfect and friendly, very clean and great facilities for cooking etc. Really great areas outside and in for relaxing and chillin. I would return.

We're so glad you had a great experience with Gecko Windsurfing in Corralejo! It's awesome to hear that Martin and Michael helped you level up, even as an intermediate, and that you picked up new skills along the way.

We're happy that the full experience booked through BookSurfCamps - from the windsurfing program to the accommodation and social atmosphere - came together so well, especially for a solo trip. That balance of great instruction, a comfortable stay, and meeting fellow travelers is exactly what we aim to offer through our platform.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, and we'd love to welcome you back for another adventure! - Samron

Great Week Bodyboarding

Had a great week through Book Surf Camps in Areia de Branca, Portugal. João and Mario were excellent hosts/instructors and accommodation was of a good standard. Surf conditions cannot be controlled, but local knowledge and expertise saw us transported to the best spot each day with a good standard of equipment.
A fantastic father/son trip, with memories that will last a lifetime.

The best part of the retreat for me was…

The best part of the retreat for me was undoubtedly the incredible combination of food, surf, yoga, and the overall atmosphere. The meals were not only delicious but also catered to various dietary preferences, making each dining experience a pleasure. Every bite was a celebration of fresh, local ingredients that fueled our adventures throughout the day.

Surfing was another highlight. The waves were perfect for all skill levels, and the instructors were patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging. The thrill of catching a wave, combined with the stunning coastal scenery, made every surf session unforgettable.

Yoga sessions were equally transformative. The various styles of yoga offered allowed for deeper relaxation and rejuvenation. Practicing in such a serene environment, surrounded by nature, helped me find a sense of peace and balance that I truly needed.

What tied everything together was the vibrant atmosphere of the retreat. The sense of community among participants fostered friendships and connections that made the experience even more enriching. The laughter, shared stories, and mutual encouragement created a warm and welcoming vibe that made everyone feel at home.

Overall, this retreat was a perfect blend of nourishing food, invigorating surf, restorative yoga, and a supportive community, making it an experience I will cherish forever!

The experience was simply perfect

The experience was simply perfect! Everything from the airport pickup up to the surfing classes. The food was delicious and the people and the staff were so nice. You felt very welcomed there and after 6 days it felt like a little family. I definitely can recommend this experience and cannot wait to come back!

Best option quality-price

Best option quality-price. The accommodation is not the most modern and confortable but the rest wins it all. Very good and typical food. Very good facilities in terms of transportation not only for the activities programmed but also for other purposes. Amazing staff, especially the instructors, very caring and friendly. We surely recommend it.

Surfing with heart - simply the best!

We had the most wonderful experience at this surf school. From the very first moment, you can feel that it’s a family-run business – there’s so much warmth, care, and genuine humanity in the way we were welcomed. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, but at the same time the attention to detail in the lessons and whole experience, is outstanding.

The instructors don’t just teach you to surf; they take the time to really notice you, to give thoughtful feedback, this helping to create a sense of trust that made us feel safe and supported in the water. Their kindness and patience shine through, and that combination of professionalism with care felt very special.

For us, it became more that about learning to stand up on a board – we felt part of something, where we were encouraged to be ourselves, try things and have fun in a ways that will stay with us (long after the surf lesson ended!).

Starting the day with a communal breakfast and coming back after the waves to delicious home-cooked food made the whole experience even more special. We loved eating together, sharing stories, jokes, companionship, cultures, and generally being welcomed around the table - it made the trip all the more special, making this place unique and unforgettable.

If you’re looking not just for a surf school but for an experience full of connection, care, humanity and joy – this is it. 🌊✨

Wow Julia, what a beautiful review! Thank you so much for sharing your experience in such a heartfelt way. It makes us really happy to know you felt the warmth of our little surf family, both in and out of the water. Surfing is special, but it’s the connections, laughter, and shared meals that really make the memories last, and we’re so glad you felt that too. Hope to welcome you back for more waves, good food, and fun times!

A fantastic experience

Surf camp with Goldenwaves was amazing! Staff was friendly and always available. Surf instructors were lively, very professional and full of energy. The breakfast was very satisfying. The place was tidy, clean, functional and full of very cool and friendly people. I could relax, find peace and make new friends at the same time. I highly recommend It!

Great instructors and adaptability to wind/location and individual skill of students.

It would have been good to know that a car was needed to get to surf spots.

Excellent, speedy and efficient

Excellent and efficient little application for those businesses using it to sell their training camps and package it up with accommodation. I’d use it tor sure if I needed a promotional arm of my business.

I suppose the communication is only as good as those on the other side if the app but for me it was excellent and they were always very quick to respond.
