This experience blends surfing with exploring the most iconic and authentic sides of Rio de Janeiro. You start in Recreio where the real surf rhythm begins, then move to Copacabana, soaking in the city energy.
Expect a balanced mix of surf sessions, personalized coaching, videos of you surfing, and light training, with plenty of time to experience the soul of Rio beyond the waves. Discover breathtaking viewpoints, taste authentic Brazilian flavors at local restaurants, sip fresh açaí after a surf, wander lively neighborhoods, listen to samba drifting through the streets, and soak up the city’s unmistakable energy. This isn’t about rushing from one attraction to another, it’s about experiencing Rio the way locals do.
This is for people who want to understand more about surfing or get to know the sport, while still living the full Rio experience.
The trip begins in Recreio dos Bandeirantes, a quieter and more authentic surf area where most of the progression happens.
Your surf activities include:
Between surf sessions, you’ll discover the many sides of Rio beyond the waves. Hike to breathtaking viewpoints like Pedra do Telégrafo and Pedra Bonita, wander through the city’s historic center, stand beneath the iconic Christ the Redeemer, and experience a guided favela tour that offers a deeper understanding of Rio’s culture, history, and community. It’s the perfect balance of adventure, nature, and authentic local experiences.
From there, you move to Copacabana and start with a bike exploration along the coastline, followed by Sugarloaf Mountain at sunset.
The final day is for relaxing, wrapping up the experience, and heading home.
The beach suites sit right across from Macumba and Pontal beaches, in Rio’s Recreio neighborhood. Bright rooms for 2–3 guests come with AC, fast Wi-Fi, and, in some, ocean views. On the ground floor there’s a small coworking nook and a terrace that turns into a sunset hangout on weekends. This is also our daily meeting point for surf lessons, so you’re on the sand in two minutes.
The shared kitchen is fully equipped, and for breakfast you’ve got a café in the courtyard plus two more options just steps away (note: many spots are closed on Mondays). Supermarkets are 10-15 minutes walking and malls are 5–15 minutes by Uber. Need extra towels/linen? Tell us and we’ll sort it.
For the final two nights, you’ll move to a comfortable hotel in the heart of Copacabana, just a short walk from the beach, giving you the chance to experience one of the world’s most iconic neighborhoods before heading home.

November/December in Rio mark the beginning of summer. Expect mostly sunny days, comfortable temperatures, and lower humidity compared to peak summer. It can still be a bit cooler in the mornings and evenings, so bringing a light jacket is a good idea. Light clothing, sun protection, and a hat are still essential.
The water temperature is usually around 21 to 24°C. Most days are comfortable without a wetsuit, but depending on conditions and personal preference, a light wetsuit can make sessions more enjoyable. We recommend a short or full suit around 1.5mm to 2mm if you prefer extra warmth. Need help choosing one? Just reach out.
Every day in Rio is different. The itinerary stays flexible and may be adjusted depending on local events and surf conditions, so you always get the best possible experience.
Rio always has something to offer. If the waves are not ideal for surfing, we use the time to explore other sides of the city through scenic hikes or cultural experiences.
European travelers with a passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of entry can enter Brazil visa-free for an initial period of up to 90 days. This can be extended for an additional 90 days by applying through the Brazilian Federal Police.
