THE ROUTE

Transport to the best surf spot of the day

The operator hunts for the best conditions each morning and provides transport to a carefully selected beach—so you spend more time surfing and less time scouting.

THE COACHING

Professional, safety-focused instruction

Lessons are run by trained instructors who focus on ocean safety, paddling technique and progressions tailored to your level, whether you’re standing up for the first time or fine-tuning your timing.

THE FORMAT

Small groups and all kit provided

Groups are capped to keep instruction personal and effective, and all necessary equipment is included so you can turn up and get straight into the water.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

A typical Lagos Surf Safari day begins with a morning pickup and a short transfer to the beach chosen for the day’s swell and wind. On the sand you run through safety and technique before heading into two 1.5-hour water sessions designed to get you up and riding quickly; instructors adapt drills and positioning to your progress so the same day benefits both novices and intermediates.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this course is best for—and who should consider alternatives.

1
Adults & older teensGroup lessons are designed for adults and older participants comfortable learning in a shared environment; the format works well for those who want coached progression without one-to-one tuition.
2
Families with children aged 8–12While these children can surf, the operator strongly recommends private lessons for ages 8–12 for safer, more tailored instruction rather than the group course.
3
Families with younger kidsChildren under 8 must book private lessons; group lessons are not suitable for this age group due to safety and supervision requirements.
4
Parents wanting to stay nearbyParents are welcome to join group lessons at the same time and remain close by on the same beach while younger family members receive private tuition.
