Famara Beach 2-Hour Surf Lesson in Lanzarote

Choose this version if you want a proper coached introduction to surfing but prefer a compact session. You do not need to arrange a board or wetsuit, and the school handles the transfer from its Caleta de Famara base to the teaching area on the beach. The 1:8 instructor ratio gives the lesson a more structured format than simply renting equipment and trying on your own. It also works well for travellers testing whether they enjoy surfing before committing to a longer course. If your priority is maximum water time and more repetition in one day, the longer Famara lesson is the better fit.

This is the best-fit Famara product for a first surfing experience or for travellers with a busy Lanzarote itinerary. Two hours is enough to cover the basics and get supervised practice without turning the activity into a full-day commitment. The main trade-off is depth: a shorter lesson naturally leaves less time for repeated attempts and technique refinement than the longer option. It also does not solve transport from your resort, so it makes most sense if you can reach Caleta de Famara independently.

Best for first-time surfers, beginners who want a short refresher, couples or friends adding one active experience to a sightseeing trip, and travellers staying with enough flexibility to reach Caleta de Famara themselves. It is particularly suitable if you want to learn basic paddling, pop-up technique, balance and wave reading under supervision without booking a longer intensive surf day.

Choose another option if you want hotel pickup, a full-day surf programme, or more time for repeated in-water practice. The lesson is not wheelchair accessible. Travellers who cannot comfortably participate in an active ocean session should also consider a non-surfing Famara experience instead.

Arrive at the surf school at Avenida El Marinero 13 in Caleta de Famara 45 minutes before the selected lesson time. You will be fitted with the included wetsuit and surf equipment before travelling from the school to the teaching area on Famara Beach. The lesson combines instruction on the fundamentals with practical work, including getting up on the board, balance, paddling and understanding the waves. The supplier limits groups to a maximum of 8 students per instructor, so coaching can be adapted as the group progresses. No previous surfing experience is required. The booked teaching time is 2 hours; food and drinks are not included. After the session, the activity returns to the school rather than providing a transfer to your hotel.

Plan to be at the Caleta de Famara school 45 minutes before your booked session. Bring swimwear, a towel, drinking water and sun protection; food and drinks are not part of the package. The booking includes the surfboard, wetsuit, lycra, instructor, insurance and transport between the school and beach. Do not confuse that with resort pickup: the meeting point is the surf school at Avenida El Marinero 13. The current ticket is delivered for use on a smartphone. Free cancellation is available up to 48 hours before the booked timeslot.

Arrive in swimwear under light clothing if that makes changing easier.
Bring water and a towel because neither food nor drinks are included.
Allow extra time for the required 45-minute early arrival.
Use the 2-hour option if this is mainly a first try; choose the longer lesson if progressing in one day matters more than keeping the activity short.
Check your route to Caleta de Famara in advance because hotel pickup is not included in this product.

There are two closely related Famara surf products from the same school. This 2-hour lesson is the shorter trial-style option: it costs less time, includes the same core equipment and is well suited to first-timers or travellers fitting surfing around other plans. The longer Famara lesson gives substantially more practice time and is the stronger choice if surfing is one of the main activities of your day. Keeping the pages separated by duration and commitment avoids treating two different booking decisions as the same product.

Cancellation is available up to 48 hours before the activity.
