What people love about Surfing Tours
- 4 Days Bali Authentic Experience
i was travelling through Indonesia for three weeks, the first week i was in Sumatra, second in Java and third one on my itinerary was Bali. The Bali part was booked as 4 days tour, "Bali Authentic Experience 27 - 30 October 2019, sold by The Bali Trip Mate travel agency and I absolutely LOVED it. it happened that i was the only traveller who booked that tour on that date, so it was like me, myself on my private tour. The service provided by The Bali trip mate was exceptional. The tour guide Riki and the driver Diky were unbeatable tandem in their effort and over the border willingness to make my visit to Bali unforgettable, and guess what, they succeeded 100 %. Riki brought history of Bali to life and with charismatic and knowledgeable descriptions i learned so much in such a short time, while Diky the driver, what to say,,, in all that Bali traffic craziness, never for a second i felt unsafe, actually enjoyed the ride very much, so dear Diky keep beeping :) These trip without you, would be just few hundred kilometres more of sightseeing, but with you, it was icing on the cake to my Indonesia experience. We met as a customer and agency mates, by said good buys like to the dearest family members. Selamat jalan, guys,
- 8 Day Livin' The Dream Surf Adventure
After one day here, we already decided to extend our stay! Our surfing improved really quick because we got to surf a lot with great instructors. All the crew is really fun, and the whole vibe is really relaxed and nice. The food is good, the dorms are nice, the people are great, and you won't be bored even when your not ripping the waves! YEEEEEEW!!!
- Wanderlands Gili&Lombok - 7 Days
I did the 7 days tour with Bapo which was really nice and well organized. The best part for me were the Gili islands. There we did not only snorkel and dive with the turtles, but also had time to relax on the beautiful beach. All of the hotels/ hostels were really nice and clean! I had the best experience and can only recommend booking the tour.
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.
