Every year is better!!

"I am writing to express how much I enjoyed my stay at Bilbao Teens Surf Camp. I have been to the hostel 4 times now and every year it gets better and better. The food was amazing as always and as a hungry teenage boy I appreciate the amount of food that is provided. The accommodation is very comfortable and well organised, with only the bottom bunks being occupied to ensure 50% capacity due to COVID 19. As always staff are friendly and helpful and all activities are run extremely well. If I had to rate this surf hostel out of 10 personally I would give it a 9.5."

Super fun and really friendly

"Everyone there, staff and guests are incredibly friendly and helpful. The skateboarding and surfing where good for people of all levels, and the skateparks where a very good standard. The waves where small but clean and great for learning. The food was incredible every night, and was more than enough to satisfy after a long day of activity. All in all Moana is an exciting, interesting and friendly place I would definitely go again. Louis"
