Surfing in Lanzarote

6 tours · €50–€70 per person · ★ 4.9

Surf lessons in Lanzarote are picked by hand: 6 classes from schools rated 4.8 or higher, and the scores here are absurd by surf-school standards, a four-hour Famara lesson holds 4.99 across 200+ students. Almost everything happens on Famara, a five-kilometre beach ringed by volcanic cliffs that catches consistent Atlantic swell yet stays sandy-bottomed and beginner-kind. The schools are veterans: one has taught here since 2010 and collected TripAdvisor awards every year since 2014, another pairs certified instructors with groups small enough for real correction, in and out of the water.

Format is the only real decision. Two-hour classes from €50 fit around a holiday and get most beginners standing; four-hour and full-day sessions double the water time and usually the progress; a one-off surfing session suits travelers who just want the feeling without a course. Wetsuits and boards come included everywhere. The best reviewed surf lessons come first below.
