"I really enjoyed my first surfing lesson.with Cascais Routes yesterday !
They really took great care of me and explained a lot of things about surfing.
Although it was a small group lesson , I alwalys had a teacher by my side.
I really felt that it was a private lesson.
Had a great time in Guincho beach !"

"This weekend the Cascais Routes team arranged an adventure in Sintra woods for the birthday of our son who turned 5! It was a great experience for the little ones, full of nature-based, fun, age-appropriate activities! Children loved it! “It was such an awesome party” said one of the kids. Definitely recommend!"

"Me and 8 friends had a group surfing lesson on Guincho beach, with João and his team.
It was 10 out of 10. Such a nice relaxed, friendly team of instructors, it felt like you were spending time with friends. Really great teaching and support while out at sea, made for a really fun experience that I would highly recommend. We all had an amazing time surfing and then João made a lunch reservation for us which was perfect!!
If you want a nice relaxed experience with some really nice chill dudes, who are also super dedicated and experienced - then these are your guys! I’ll definitely be back for another lesson next time I visit. Obrigado João and team!"
