The guesthouse offers, in addition to the accommodation in a shared bunk system, individual rooms for two guests with their own bathroom, as well as small apartments with kitchens for groups, family, or friends. The kitchen is fully equipped and has at your disposal all the facilities, so you may find everything you need to prepare your meals. Provides experiences based on what best Matosinhos has to offer: the Atlantic coast; with its perfect condition for surfing, as well as the wonderful gastronomy linked to the sea.
The best of all worlds, no doubt, whereas the second city in Portugal, Porto, is at a small distance, where you can enjoy all the history and dynamics of a city that has, in recent years, consistently collected praise and awards as one of the most vibrant destinations in Europe. The Sea House is situated in the historical center of the beautiful fishing town of Matosinhos, only a minute's walk from both the surface metro station “Brito Capêlo,” as well as to the Matosinhos International Beach.
This station is linked with the airport Francisco Sá Carneiro, as well as the historic center of Oporto, twenty minutes away. At Oporto you can enjoy all the history and dynamics of a city that has, in recent years, consistently collected praise and awards as one of the most vibrant destinations in Europe.
Programma
During this holiday, you will immerse yourself in surfing, rejuvenate your body, mind, and soul with yoga practice, and explore the beauty of Porto during your free time. This program is suitable for beginners who want to start a new hobby, experience a new sport, or just relax and play with waves. Your surfing instructor, Joao, will pick you up at 9:00 a.m., and the group will head to the best spot of the day, depending on ocean conditions, crowds, and group skills.
Surfing begins with a short warm-up and an explanation about all surf techniques: paddling, wave positioning, catching waves, standing on the board, and riding waves properly. You can expect a clear exemplification of every step, and you will need to take in order to get the most out of it. Before getting into the water, you will also be provided with instructions about safety procedures and surf etiquette.
During your experience, you will probably be able to stand on the board or feel some improvement, but above all, you will enjoy the amazing great energy provided by the ocean and the sun as well as feel inspired by the moment. The group will be dropped by the lodge around 12:30 p.m. Afterwards, you may want to go eat, have some rest, sunbathe at the local beach (300 meters far from the lodge), or just grab the metro (50 meters far from the lodge) and head to Porto city center for some sightseeing and shopping.
By the end of the day, around 6:00 p.m., you will attend a yoga lesson and feel inspired and surrounded by nature. Depending on the weather conditions, the sessions will take place in the city park or at the yoga studio, both near the local beach. Upon your arrival, you will be invited to join some other different experiences that mainly take place during the afternoon, and you can sign up to join.
