Once you have booked you lessons can you please contact me via Whatsapp my number is on the voucher. We will need to be in contact so we can finalise the start time as it varies everyday as we have to, for safety reasons, teach at hightide. Find us in Santa Maria on the road by the ocean. We are across the road from 'fabrica de grelhados' just by the Main Square and 'Ocean Cafe'.
