Overview

Learn to surf on the beaches of São Miguel in the Azores! Few people know that in Europe we have our own Hawaii. We are talking about the Azores Islands: an archipelago of nine islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean that is part of Portugal.

It's volcanic origin means that we find dreamlike cliffs, paradisiacal beaches and beautiful natural parks, some of them with thermal waters such as Terra Nostra Park. The capital of the Azores is São Miguel, an island that receives thousands of tourists every year looking for a change of scenery through its hiking trails or surfing. If there's anything like Hawaii.

It's that the Azores, and São Miguel in particular, is one of the best places in Europe for surfing. If you've never surfed before, now's your chance to learn!

    Q: Will I get seasick on Exclusive Surf Lessons in S Miguel Azores?

    A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
