My favorite surf shop in Lagos! These folks really care about your experience, with great gear and they are always open when you want them. They organized a surf lesson for my 11 year old niece with Portimão Surf Clube (transport provided) and it was PERFECT! Learning to surf with Alexandre is a wonderful, life changing experience! He’s bursting with joyful energy and inspires self-confidence as he teaches a love for life as well as for surfing. My niece will always remember her first surf experience as the highlight of her Portugal experience. She rode at least 10 waves to the beach and was able to jump around on the board, switching from regular to goofy foot near the end. Every one of the students in her small group was successfully surfing after an hour. Great communication, organization, facility, and gear, but the best part of this adventure was the truly gifted, inspirational instructor, Alexandre!

We did a half-day jeep tour through this company as a last minute plan. Fabio went above and beyond to make sure we got something scheduled! He was amazing to work with! Rafael, the tour guide, picked us up at our hotel right on time. We had 7 people, ranging from 3 year old to 79 years old. Rafael made it fun and interesting for EVERYBODY! Highly recommend going through this company if in Sagres!
