Awesome experience even for beginners.

Patrick_M, Mar 2024

Had never been on a surfboard before, after 5min in the water I was riding my first wave. Those guys really know what they are doing!

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi Patrick, that's sick!!! you're a talent ;-) Keep getting yourself out there mate, cheers! The Soul Surf Team

Very good but with a big group

Audrien_C, Mar 2024

Very nice but we were a big group so less time for each of us to practice However the teachers were very nice and compétant

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hey Audrien, thanks so much for your review. There's more instructors on when the groups are bigger, we teach 1:7 which is a lower ratio than the 1:8 required legally, so the size of the group shouldn't affect how many waves you get too much. Happy to hear the instructors were nice and you've had a good time despite. Keep surfing, cheers The Soul Surf Team

Highlight of our trip

Amazing thrill

Kelly_J, Jan 2024

Absolutely amazing experience! Poured it down as soon as we got to the beach but the three coaches made sure to get us warmed up and make it such a fun exciting experience. Would do it all again in a heartbeat! Thank you to the 3 instructors x

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi Kelly, and how fun is the warm up too! So glad to hear you've had a great time. Hopefully you can keep surfing! Cheers, The Soul Surf Team

Great lesson with friendly instructors.

Christopher_G, Dec 2023

Fun lesson. Great instructors. Friendly and welcoming vibe. Highly recommend for all surfing levels. Bonus was the dip in a fresh water lake naturally infused with tea tree after the lesson.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

How lovely is the Tea Tree Lake. So lucky that's all around the corner for a fresh dip after the surf. Thanks for your kind words, keep surfing! Cheers, The Soul Surf team

It was awesome!! 🙌

Hayley_B, Dec 2023

Hi Lauren, stoked to hear you've had a great time and some photos for memories to keep! Keep surfing, cheers The Soul Surf Team

Awesome half day experience

Connor_K, Dec 2023

We had a great time learning to surf! The waves were pretty heavy but our instructor was encouraging and gave us tips on how to catch our own waves. The whole experiences was really relaxed and I’d definitely recommended! I would say if you have a GoPro or anything, you can definitely take it to the beach with you. We left everything on the bus as recommended but we realised later you can just leave things on the beach if you need to. They bring a photographer out with you who snaps some great photos but they are expensive - minimum of 5 photos for $25. So basically if there is more than one of you and you want photos, take your own camera!

Response from Host, Dec 2023

Hi Connor, thanks so much for your review and happy to hear you've had the best time! Great to hear it was a safe and relaxed experience, despite the conditions being a bit more rough that day! Keep surfing! Cheers, The Soul Surf Team

It was pouring this day...

Fiona_R, Nov 2023

It was pouring this day and they didn’t cancel. We were shivering all the time. The instructor was nice and helpful.

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Hi Fiona, sorry to hear you had a less than sunny day for your first surf experience. Unfortunately the weather is hard to predict but it leads to even better and cleaner waves sometimes (better than rough winds!). The unpredictability is unfortunately what makes surfing so beautiful too. Hopefully your next experience will be hot and tropical! Don't give up surfing, cheers! The Soul Surf Team

So much fun!!

Jazlyn_V, Oct 2023

Harry and Ben were so supportive, informative and encouraging during the whole session! Really enjoyed the day! Would highly recommend

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Hey Jazlyn, thanks so much for leaving us a review. Happy you've enjoyed your experience and felt supported by the coaches! Keep surfing, cheers the Soul Surf Team
