TRIP ADVISOR REVIEWS

  • Great place to learn to surf

    I came to Safa Surf Camp as a complete surf beginner with no expectations. After one week of exercise I could actually call it surfing what I was doing.
    All the crew does an amasing job. There is theory class which tells the basic of surfing. The first few days are on a sorft board with close guidance of the surf instructors. Altough still beginner, the instructors already try to push the boards into the green water. more

  • Amazing surfing

    We booked with safa surf just two lessons and had the best time ever. We are three girls and None of us had ever surfed before and I was very nervous before we started- but by the end we were up and standing on the board doing great. We even got videoed by one of the workers who then kindly whatsapped me the videos of us surfing- really went an extra mile. more

  • Great surfing school

    Had a great time, spent 7 days having the best surf I ever had in life. Teachers are skilled, owner of the place is very nice and food was great too. I’ll definitely come again if I want to improve my surfing skills. I’m glad I showed up unannounced and took the surf package. more
