What people love about Surfing Tours
- 4 Days Bali Authentic Experience
- Wanderlands Gili&Lombok - 7 Days
The trip was amazing, all the accomodation was much better than I expected and activities were great with just the right balance between fun and cultural. Stacia was an amazing leader and although I came into the tour later on made me feel comfortable right from the start and her guidance and knowledge throughout the trip was amazing. I would definitely recommend this trip and the company Wonderlands.
- Best of Sri Lanka - Feel Free Travel
Couldn’t fault the guys on any aspect of this trip - you’re a friend from being picked up at the airport and they make sure to sort out every detail throughout the trip and even after, regardless how small. Our group had an amazing time, the knowledge they have along with the local guide Arny (legend) meant we definitely got to experience so much more than if we were travelling on our own. Food spots are great - didn’t have a single bad meal and genuinely had so much fun. Thanks guys!
What our customers ask about Surfing Tours & Trips
What are the best destinations for surfing tours?
For great surfing, head to Byron Bay and Spot X Surf Camp in Australia, where friendly local instructors will help you catch waves at iconic breaks. In Bali, both Kuta Beach and Canggu work well for learning - the water stays a pleasant 80°F (27°C) year-round. If you're looking for reliable waves, check out Taghazout in Morocco. The conditions there are good pretty much any time you visit. As one TourRadar traveler says: "The surf lessons were really well organized and the instructors were excellent at getting everyone standing up on their first day."
When is the best time to go on a surfing tour?
The best time really depends on where you want to go. If you're heading to Byron Bay in Australia, book between September and April when the water's warmer and waves are consistent. For Morocco's Taghazout, winter (October-March) brings bigger waves of 6-8 feet (2-2.5 meters). In Bali, plan your trip during dry season (April-October) when you'll find steady waves around 3-5 feet (1-1.5 meters). One TourRadar traveler shared: "We went in April and had perfect weather and waves every day at Byron Bay - not too crowded and ideal for learning."
How long are typical surfing lessons on these tours?
Most lessons run for 2-3 hours, including time for beach instruction before you hit the water. At Spot X Surf Camp in Australia, you'll spend about 90 minutes in the water during morning lessons. In Taghazout, they split up the sessions between morning and afternoon - this way you can rest between sessions and catch the best waves of the day. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Having both morning and afternoon sessions really helped cement the techniques we learned, with enough rest time between to recharge."
What accommodation can I expect on a surfing tour?
You'll stay close to the surf spots, which makes getting to your lessons easy. In Byron Bay, you might be at the Wake Up! Hostel or similar places right by the beach. If you're surfing in Bali, expect to stay at laid-back surf camps or beachfront spots like the Kuta Paradiso Hotel. In Morocco's Taghazout, you'll likely stay in a traditional riad where you can walk to the surf breaks in just a few minutes.
