Absolutely fantastic experience, easy to find and the team were great with communication. Myself and the lads had a great time and only one of us got lost at sea. Thanks again!
Angela Sheerin , August 2025
My kids had the best week surfing, Jude, Pete and Ali are so knowledgeable and friendly. Both the kids could stand up and ride the waves by the weeks end. I would recommend this camp for any kids it was so fun and they are learning a new skill and learn to appreciate the sea. Thanks guys see soon for more surf

Both my kids..(14 and 10 years old)..said their day at Fanore with Aloha was their favourite part of our entire holiday in Ireland. It was their first time to try surfing and they loved it. Very reasonably priced too.
