WHAT SCHOOLS ARE SAYING
I have now organised two surf trips for Hurtwood House School with SGS and will soon be taking 40 students on our third. Will and his team at SGS are absolutely fantastic—professional, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. Compared to some of the larger school trip providers, SGS offers a much more personal and seamless experience. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Our students (aged 16–18) have always had an incredible time, and last year’s feedback was outstanding. The trips provide the perfect balance of learning a new skill, unwinding with friends, and taking a well-earned break from studies. If you’re considering running a school trip and want something truly special, I highly recommend getting on board (excuse the pun!) with this exceptional company and its passionate team.
The SchoolsgoSurfing team were utterly fantastic from the very first email expressing interest of running a surfing trip at my school to the very last day of the trip, everything was outstanding. Our bespoke trip was fantastic, beyond the surfing, the day trip to San Sebastian was a great addition! The communication, ease of logistics and trip support made it incredibly easy for me to go ahead and book with SgS. During the trip, our rep, Robbie, couldn’t do enough for us and the team from the Surf Camp were brilliant. The quality of tuition during the surf lessons was incredibly good. I could not recommend SgS enough. If you’re a teacher reading this then you NEED to book a surfing trip through SchoolsgoSurfing!! 🏄🏻♂️🤙🏻
Best tour company for school
Trips I have used in organising over 25 overseas residential trips. Well organised but it’s the personal touch and involvement that sets them apart. Would highly recommend.

We have used this compamny for our year 8 school trip for the past two years and are returning to Cornwall for our third year running. I cannot speak highly enough of all of the staff. Will and Robbie are super organised and communication is fantastic. They make booking, organising and running a school trip a very easy experience. I would highly recommend
We have had a terrific experience with Schools Go Surfing over the past few years. Will and the team take away all of the stress of running a school trip with their organisation and adaptability throughout. The itinerary is well thought out and perfectly balances the time spent in the water with downtime to keep it enjoyable for the students. The surf instructors are excellent; they are encouraging, patient, and have a wealth of knowledge that allows them to quickly improve complete beginners and push the advanced surfers too. The video analysis is particularly impressive and improves the quality of the surfing no end as well as enjoying some of the more spectacular falls. The accommodation is comfortable, well-located near the beach and the food is great. Perhaps the best recommendation is that we have already booked for next summer!
Will and the Schools Go Surfing team were fantastic. The trip was incredible from start to finish for both pupils and staff! I am very happy to have found SGS and can not recommend them enough.

Blatchington Mill School joined us in Moliets over May half term for an unforgettable week on the coast 🌊
The group made the most of the sunshine with daily surf sessions, a day trip to San Sebastián, and evenings filled with beach games, crafting, and a fondue night under the stars.
Staying in luxury canvas tents, they experienced the perfect balance of adventure and comfort, all just minutes from the waves.
Thanks for the great energy, Blatchington Mill. We can’t wait to welcome you back next year! ☀️🇫🇷
