What people are saying about Almada

We had an awesome time with Get Stoked. The instructors were great and the group nice, we felt perfectly safe throughout and had a lot of fun. We're definitely going to continue surfing. Oh, and it might be February at the time of this review, but we found the water to be absolutely fine. No boots or gloves needed at all! The beach itself is also really nice and pretty.

We had a great time with the "Get stoked" surf school. Both Filipe and Miguel are very compassionate and motivating trainers. Meeting coordination via Whatsapp was flawless, and both take student safety very serious. We had lots of fun in our small group and would come back anytime.

Fantastic experience in the heart of the Portuguese waves. Costa de Caparica beach is absolutely beautiful and Nuno is an excellent teacher, very educational and takes care of everyone. Very fun with a very good group. Thank you for everything !
