Questions

FAQs

Do I need to book my own flights?

Yes — flights and airport transfers are not included. Lisbon (LIS) is well served from multiple UK airports, and return flights can typically be found for around £150 if booked in advance.

What fitness level do I need to be?

All activities are suitable for mixed ability levels. Whether it's surfing or padel, you don't need any prior experience — all equipment is provided and instruction is included.

Do I need to participate in every activity?

Not at all. Participation in every activity is entirely optional. If anything isn't for you — for example, if you'd rather skip the surf lessons — we'll make sure there's a suitable alternative available. The goal is for everyone to get the most out of the trip in their own way.

How does the instalment plan work?

You pay £269 on booking to secure your place, followed by three further monthly payments through to August 2026. Total cost is £1,076. Paying in full (£899) saves you £177.

What is the cancellation policy?

A £269 deposit is required to secure your place on both payment plans. If you need to cancel, this deposit is non-refundable. If you’ve paid in full (£899) and need to cancel, you’ll receive a refund of £630 — the full amount minus the £269 deposit.

Will I be sharing a room?

Yes — all 16 spaces are single beds in shared rooms. Once we know who's signed up, we'll organise roommates and let everyone know their arrangements ahead of the trip.
