Had an amazing time at the guest house! It was off season so work was really chill, you really had the chance to join the activities and everyone in the house was more open to do smth. The house was overwhelming at first, but once I got to know everyone, I was very funny sharing a place with so many ppl⭐️ The only thing is that the house is a 30 minutes walk from the shack and the bikes didn't work, so you should come prepared for that as well. I was furthermore very lucky, bc it was already volunteers staying there and they showed me everything and helped me get settled.

This was my first volunteer experience, and I couldn't recommend it more! The place, the vibe and people were all incredible. It's such a great environment if you're social, open-minded, and happy living in a shared house with others. I found the overall community to be friendly and welcoming which helped me form good connections and feel comfortable. It was also an amazing place to improve my surfing, everyone was so supportive of my progress which has really encouraged me to keep improving. Mauro was also very easy to contact and was extremely helpful throughout the experience !🏄🏻‍♀️🤍

I had a really nice experience volunteering at Zimzala Surf Culture. It was a great opportunity to meet travelers from different countries, practice English and experience the surf culture in the Algarve. The people and staff were definitely a highlight for me and made the experience even more special. Overall it was a great way to meet people and spend time close to the ocean. Thank you for the opportunity!

Overall, my experience at the surf school was very positive and I'm really happy I decided to come. Even though the weather wasn't on my side during my stay, I still truly enjoyed the few beautiful days I got to spend outdoors and in nature. The atmosphere was warm and relaxed, and meeting the local staff was one of the nicest parts - they were kind and made me feel welcome. Mauro was wonderful as well, always friendly, caring, and easy to talk to. I would happily recommend this surf school.
