Delivering Surf Lessons with Excellence!

Delivering the best surf lessons is our No. 1 priority here at Star Surf. To do so, expert local knowledge is required. This is why we have carefully chosen selected partner camps and in all our partner camps.

Each year, more than 3000 surf holiday guests learn to surf with us through our professional and enthusiastic approach to teaching surfing. To provide a safe environment in the water, all our surf instructors are experienced, fully licensed and qualified and also have a lifeguard qualification. We provide quality surf equipment (boards, leashes and wetsuits) that you can use for free during your surf lessons.

The Western Cape, from Cape Town on the Cape Peninsula to Plettenberg Bay and J-Bay on the stunning Garden Route, offers an abundance of waves. Finding the right surf spot in a foreign country can however be very tricky considering unknown swell conditions, wind directions or the local community. Our local team of experienced surf instructors and guides have lived in South Africa and surfed Cape Town’s amazing waves for years. They are at hand for you to answer any questions you might have during your surf trips with us, and together, we’ll find the day’s best surf spots and waves best suited to your surfing ability.

Discover Cape Town & Africa’s Stunning South!

Travelling to the stunning Cape Town area is certainly one for the bucket list. With an abundance of things to see and do in this beautiful part of the word, we put together a little insider guide for you to beat the crowds and discover Cape Town’s hidden gems.

Climbing Table Mountain is a must when visiting Cape Town. If you don’t fancy hiking up the giant that’s towering 1088 meters over the city, then hop on the cable car. On a clear day, Table Mountain is very busy and touristy. Therefore, check the forecast and get there first thing in the morning. We also suggest you avoid afternoons due to winds picking up late in the day. If you love the outdoors and adrenaline, and are slightly crazy, then ditch the cable car on your way back and Abseil Down Table Mountain! The 112 meter long controlled descent definitely makes for a gripping experience you won’t ever forget! With enough action for one day, we highly recommend Soaking up the Day’s Last Sunrays at Clifton where the Cape Town locals enjoy their drinks with the endless Atlantic as their backdrop. Once the sun is gone, head to Caprice for Cocktails where the rich and famous meet young professionals to turn the night into day.

Start your cape tour with a healthy waterfront breakfast and a Nifty Glimpse of Dolphins and Whales at Kalk Bay, the pretty fishing village on the coast of False Bay. Head south for a Swim with Penguins at Boulders Beach and continue south for a relaxing afternoon at the edge of the continent at Dias Beach to then have your picture taken at Cape of Good Hope, the most south-western point of the African continent. On your way back north, the Majestic and Rocky Coastline of Chapman’s Peak Drive provides the ideal scenery for a picnic spot before we recommend you indulge in fresh local fish wrapped in old newspapers at Fish on the Rocks’ Seafront Location in Hout Bay. We also recommend a stroll through Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, souvenir shopping at V&A’s Waterfront, a lesson in South African history on Robben Island, a day out wine tasting in Stellenbosch, a game of crazy golf in Seapoint and a dive in the crystal mountain pools of the Steenbras River. Whatever you and your fellow travellers are looking for, our team can are here to help you find the right activity for you!
