Family Surf Camp Tenerife, Canary Islands

Tenerife

The Family Surf Camp

Learn to surf with big wave surfer Alex Zirke and his partner Tanessa Dalby, in a quiet corner of north Tenerife away from the crowds.

Our surf camp is in Tacoronte, a wine-growing district near Santa Cruz, with a pool, a 180° sea view from the house and a genuinely local neighbourhood around it. The house has a family atmosphere, with a garden, a cosy living room and a natural sea pool nearby.

Kids' surf lessons run here, and courses are taught in small groups of no more than three per instructor. If you have any questions about minimum ages, please get in touch and we'll help.

Our Tenerife package includes a rich daily breakfast, a weekly BBQ, a yoga session, and a Wine & Cheese Tasting. The house has a cosy living room, an outdoor gym, a drinking water refill station and a natural sea pool nearby, with rooms from singles and a 4-bed room to a private suite with its own balcony and bathtub. With the Atlantic outside the door and the Anaga Mountains and Mount Teide within reach, there’s plenty for the whole family to explore.

Your Package Includes

Accommodation
Choose from shared rooms, a 4-bed room and a private double to a self-contained suite with its own balcony and bathtub, all set around the camp's pool, garden and local, family atmosphere.
Meals
A rich breakfast is included every morning, with coffee, tea and a generous spread of fresh fruit and bread.

Once a week the whole camp comes together for a BBQ, and a Wine & Cheese Tasting brings everyone around the table to sample the flavours of the island.
Surf Lessons
3 Days Surf Course: A taster course for anyone unsure if surfing's for them, or who wants more time to explore the island alongside their lessons.

6 hours of surfing over 3 days, in groups of no more than 3 students per instructor, with lesson times adapted to the tides and conditions. Suited to beginners and advanced surfers alike, taught in German, English or Spanish. 5 Days Surf Course: Our full 10-hour course over 5 days goes deeper, combining water time with beach theory on reading the wind, the waves and the ocean itself.

Small groups of no more than 3 per instructor keep the learning focused, led by big wave pro Alex Zirke (2012 German surfing champion) and his team, with lessons available in German, English or Spanish.

Kids' surf lessons run here too. If you have any questions about minimum ages, please get in touch and we'll help.
Surf Equipment
A shuttle straight from the front door to the surf spot is included with every course, and the team can help arrange extra equipment for those wanting more time in the water outside lessons.
Camp Activities
The outdoor gym is free to use any time, and a natural sea pool nearby is a favourite spot to cool off and take in the view.

Optional surf therapy sessions, run by trained psychologists and surf instructors, are also available for those wanting to combine surfing with structured mental wellbeing work, in individual or small group settings.

Available on Request

Skating
Head to the new skate park in nearby Matanza, built with a quarterpipe, ledges and a bowl, the perfect complement to a day in the water, with unbeatable views to match.
Hiking
Explore the Anaga Mountains right on the doorstep, hike to Chinamada, or take on Mount Teide, Spain's highest peak, and the volcanic natural pools of Garachico known as the Charcos.
Apnea & Waterman Training
Try a freediving course, excursion or full waterman training programme, some of it in the camp's own pool, a unique way to deepen your connection with the ocean beyond surfing.

Location

A quiet, local corner of north Tenerife
Tenerife
The camp sits in Tacoronte, a small, cozy district in the northeast of Tenerife known for its wine-growing region and quiet holiday fincas, well away from the island's mass tourism.

The Atlantic and its wave-rich breaks are right outside the door, with the Anaga Mountains, volcanic Mount Teide and the historic old towns of the north all within easy reach.

It's a genuinely local neighbourhood, giving you the chance to experience the real Tenerife alongside your surf lessons.
