On the quieter stretches of the Côte Basque and Landaise, Safari Surf with Mahi‑Mahi Surfschool condenses coaching, transport and a beach picnic into a focused seven‑hour escape from the summer crowds. The package includes two taught sessions — one in the morning, one in the afternoon — with equipment provided so you can spend the day on the water and sand.

THE SESSIONS

Two coached lessons in one day

The day is built around two surf lessons — morning and afternoon — giving learners time to practice between sessions and consolidate progress on less crowded spots.

THE SETTING

Quiet Basque or Landaise beaches

The itinerary takes participants to less frequented breaks on the Côte Basque or the Landaise coast, an intentional escape from peak‑season crowds.

THE INCLUSIONS

Transport, kit and a beachside lunch

Price covers transport to chosen spots, loan of wetsuit and board, and a picnic lunch on the sand between sessions — everything you need for a full day out.

What the day feels like

How the day unfolds

Safari Surf is a focused single‑day program: you meet with the school, travel to a chosen surf spot, take a coached morning lesson, pause for a picnic on the beach, then return to the water for an afternoon lesson. The rhythm—practice, rest, practice—aims to accelerate learning while letting you enjoy quieter breaks along the Côte Basque or Landaise.
