We booked the week surf camp and had a phenomenal experience. We had 5 days of surfing with the best coaches. The whole team was supportive and encouraging while providing useful feedback every time. We surfed with Phillip, Augusto and Nikita — all of whom gave helpful tips and tricks to improve our technique. We had been surfing before, but never with such quality instructors. We stood up on the first wave and could see real improvement over the course of 5 days.Rodolfo took pictures and invited the group to look at them together back at the surf school in the evening. You can really tell how passionate he is about surfing and helping others learn to surf.The hotel was also wonderful. We stayed at the guest house and they upgraded us to the apartment room for the week and it was incredible. Spacious, clean, well-equipped and stunning views. Would definitely recommend anyone looking to improve their surfing to visit this Calhau surf school! Hope to come back soon!
My husband and I, we super love this experience!We never ever stay on surf before and the friendly stuff, the instructors attention, very good advices and care they provide help us falling in love with the surfing.We also enjoy stay in the guest house which is super hospitable and clean.We definitely recommend this place and the surf school. It’s the perfect choice.
Brilliant experience delivered by Rodolfo, Philippe, Nikita & Augusto. Very reliable and friendly, great experience as a couple getting practically private lessons. Definitely recommend to go here if you want to go surfing on Madeira, especially if it’s your first time! Many thanks to Calhau, maybe see you soon again Rodolfo!

Me and my boyfriend booked 5 night surf pack. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay for two more nights. We were staying in Nature guest house which was really nice, tidy, cozy with a street view but also could see mountains and the beach. The staff in the restaurant and hotel were really friendly and helpful. Communication with Rudolfo was really good and easy.In these five days of surfing I made great progress and had so much fun. The instructors were really professional. For a beginner the waves sometimes were big but I was feeling safe. Depending on the conditions we would surf at different beaches which I really enjoyed.Will come back,Thank you so much!
We had a great surfing experience! The surf school has a lot of instructors (1 instructor per 3-5 surfers), which guarantees enough personal attention. Especially for us as beginners this contributed to it being a very fruitful lesson. The instructors we had, Rodolfo and his wife, seem to be really passionate about surfing.One thing the surf school could improve, is the communication at the start of the lesson. It felt really chaotic and we were send to different places without proper instructions. In the end it all worked out fine, but in the moment we felt a bit lost.All in all a super experience! We would definitely recommend this school and come back in the future!
