The Experience

We are a group of four Italians deeply passionated with the charm of Portugal, embracing passions for surfing, good food, and Yoga. We run a small Surfhouse right near Ericeira, nestled between the Foz do Lizandro and São Julião surf hotspots. If you are looking for a sunny place to stay and work, just few minutes way from beautiful beaches and world-class waves, all within a chilled and relaxed atmosphere, our Surfhouse is your go-to spot!

This was my first experience with Worldpackers, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I met wonderful people who made me feel at home. The shifts were well-organized and schedules were respected. The Ericeira area is beautiful, surrounded by nature. I would recommend this experience to anyone.
Thank you all, I hope to see you again soon.❤️

My experience at the host was truly magical. From the very beginning, the atmosphere felt warm, relaxed, and welcoming. Ericeira is a beautiful place with amazing beaches and great energy. The 4 hosts make you feel at home right away, always kind and supportive. Davido the chef is the best! The tasks are simple and organized, leaving plenty of free time to explore, meet people, and enjoy the town. I'd definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking for unforgettable moments, to meet amazing people, and feel at home ❤️❤️

I had an amazing time at the host. It is a very relaxing, cool, chill spot. Ericeira is a beautiful place with amazing beaches too. The hosts are all amazing and make you feel very welcome. I even got sick during my stay and they made sure I was better before working again, they genuinely cared. The work is super easy and you have plenty of time to explore the city. They even give the volunteers a car to drive around. The guests are all super nice and chill too. I was here for 7 weeks, it was an amazing experience and would recommend it to anyone. Shoutout Davido the best chef ever too!

I felt absolutely wonderful here! As it wasn't peak season during my stay, the voluntee experience was relaxed. the host team is amazing - kind, friendly, and truly dedicated.Shifts are clearly divided into 3 roles: preparing breakfast, “Joker” (helping wherever needed, from driving guests to cleaning), and assisting the chef with dinner. The work is Ok and fair, definitely worth it considering everything you receive in return — ocean views, beautiful sunsets, free yoga, incredible dinners, wonderful people you meet here and many more! 🚗🏄🏻‍♀️🍮 Thank you all! I hope to come back one day❤️
