I absolutely loved it at the surf camp!! It was my first solo travel experience and it was truly amazing. Everyone is very open to get to know new people and everyone is just super nice. If you want to connect with other travelers from all over the world and build new friendships, the surf camp is exactly the right place for you. I would definitely come back 😊😊

This experience was one in a lifetime, if you have the opportunity to go please don't hesitate to! I made lifelong friends here and was very sad to leave. The camp has lots of fun excursions and activities and there are many opportunities to drink or party. Grace and Danny were so sweet during my stay, my only feedback is that the food portions for breakfast and dinner did get smaller as more people joined over the weeks. Make sure to bring strong bug spray and allergy meds for the dust, I got very sick during my first week.

You will be in a big family for 3 weeks!! It's amazing to get to know many people & you will never be alone:) The camp is very coz, you have a lot of space to just hang out & relax but the camp always organises trips, things to do, parties, games, movie nights so it's really never boring at camp!! The tasks are really managable in your daily schedule and they are mostly not crossing any of the activities planned!

My time volunteering here was great — I made some amazing friends, and I've even kept travelling with a few of them ☺️ The work was really easy and quick, and I loved that I could switch or choose my jobs each week. The food was super tasty, healthy, and the portions were big! Tommi the chef is so kind and welcoming. There's always something going on if you want to join in, but there's also plenty of space to do your own thing. Overall, such a lovely experience!

I had an amazing experience at this surf camp! Grace, the manager, is extremely friendly and always ready to help with anything that might come up. She organised great events and excursions that really enhanced the stay and ensured the best possible experience for all guests. The food was another highlight — chef Tomi cooks exceptionally well. Every meal was healthy, tasty, and prepared with great care. The space itself is very comfortable and perfect for relaxing after surf sessions. I absolutely loved my stay and highly recommend this surf camp to everyone!
