THE JOURNEY, AT YOUR PACE

A little plan.
A lot of possibility.

Use this outline to tell us what excites you. Stay longer in a favourite place, change the pace, or build in something you have always wanted to do.

01
Days 1–2
A little Lisbon
Arrive, explore on foot and leave time for food and a neighbourhood you want to revisit.
02
Days 3–6
Find your surf rhythm
Move to one Atlantic base such as Ericeira or Peniche. Let qualified instructors choose conditions for your level and keep rest time between sessions.
03
Days 7–8
One last coast morning
Stay local or add a simple coastal outing. Keep the final transfer realistic instead of squeezing in another distant stop.

A NOTE FOR THE ROAD

Leave a little room.

Ocean conditions change from beach to beach and day to day. Use local instructors for water activities and select one main surf base to reduce transfers.
