This was an absolutely wonderful camp! My daughter did one week as a complete beginner, never having even touched a surfboard before, she then asked me to book a second week for her because it was so good! She can now stand and turn and do a few tricks on the board, 10/10 would absolutely recommend! A great way to learn to surf and a fun way to spend your summer! The instructors were great and the whole thing was just awesome ❤️👍

Fantastic time with Aloha Surf school. Very accommodating and great for large groups. We were a stag of 10 all with mixed surfing experience and the lesson catered for all. Great beach, great instructors and most importantly lots of fun. We had a great day out and would definitely come back again!
Valéry Gauthier , July 2024
The Aloha Surf School’s instructor was really helpful and wanted us to learn catching the waves by ourselves! It was easy to follow the instructions and the Fanore Beach is perfect for beginners! I highly recommand the Aloha Surf School if you want to learn surfing in Ireland!

This was an incredible experience! We took the bus from galway and spent 2 hours learning the basics of surfing. The instructors were great and even dropped us off at the local pub afterwards. Highly reccomend.

Excellent choice! Our family (mum, dad, two teenage daughters) had three family lessons. It was great fun for all of us and there is really no age limit. Pete coached each of us according to our individual abilities, so everyone felt really comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the experience at this beautiful location.

A brilliant lesson for a family of four. We've had lessons on occasion over years and these guys were easily the best we've had. A holiday highlight for our teenagers. We have already recommended to other other family members heading this way. Thank you. X
