Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I had a private surf lesson followed by a paddle board lesson with Jayden and I’m pretty unco but he was so patient and taught me the basics which was great, I can’t wait to have my next one! It was so much fun thank you

I had a clear idea of the risks in the sea with rips and undercurrents whilst surfing.Sean explained the code in the surf well.

Our coaches were Sean, Adam & Deck and they were awesome! This was my husband and I's first surf experience so we were naturally a little nervous but these guys were super supportive and helped us catch our first waves.
Would definitely recommend to anyone 🙂

On East Beach, @ Port Fairy: a great place and people to learn to surf with....boards and wetsuits provided. Coaches provided instruction before accompanying to the surf and helping the entire two hours. My son and granddaughter loved learning with Dan and Jack. Thank you both.

Arranged with Chris over emails who had Jack waiting for 2 kids and me just yesterday. We had a blast learning/trying to stand on the board. Jack was great with the kids, helping them all the time, encouraging yet not pushy. Do this activity with PFSS, absolutely fun.

We signed up for 5 days of learn to surf and it was absolutely fantastic. Great teachers who helped my daughter and myself learn surf safety, standing up and a few ways to steer the board. Fantastic location. Give it a try - you'll love it!

Best place for the starters. Our instructor Sheril was really nice and sweet. She was very calm and gave confident to my wife as it's her first time snorkeling. The wetsuit and snorkeling gear was really proper fitting. We had cherishing experience. We will come back again and we would recommend Port fairy surf school to our friends and travellers.
