What you'll do

This is a nature, surf and community experience on São Miguel, the green heart of the Azores. This trip is designed for travellers who want to surf, explore volcanic landscapes and disconnect in one of Europe’s most unique island destinations. Days follow the SurfWeek flow: surf lessons based on ocean conditions, time at the beach, viewpoints, natural pools, shared dinners and relaxed moments with the group. You’ll stay in a sunny surf house near Ponta Delgada and close to São Roque and Pópulo beaches, with shared spaces, a garden and a laid-back atmosphere. It’s not a rigid itinerary, but a flexible experience shaped by the weather, the waves and the group vibe.

Amazing surf week in the Azores! I had a great week in São Miguel. The combination of surfing and discovering the island was perfect: surf sessions, beautiful hikes, volcanic landscapes, lots of sunsets and time spent together. The surf coaching was really good, with helpful advice and video analysis that allowed us to understand our mistakes and improve throughout the week. The atmosphere was friendly and relaxed, and the team made us feel very welcome. Beautiful place, great memories and a week I’ll definitely remember. I would absolutely recommend it!
