Great Aussie Surf Adventure BYR - SYD (6D/5N)

Settle in at a beachfront surf camp where the ocean is never far from your room and the days run on salt, sunshine and good company. Over six laid-back but packed-in days, you’ll learn to surf on mellow, learner-friendly waves with instructors who know how to build confidence fast. Between sessions, you can kick back in the sand, wander down for a swim, or just let the sea breeze do its thing.

When you’re not in the water, the camp keeps the good times rolling with hearty buffet meals, easygoing evenings around the fire and plenty of chances to meet other travellers. There’s also a stack of extra activities if you feel like mixing it up — think kayaking, volleyball, rock pool swims, kangaroo golf, and even a chance to spot dolphins or whales offshore. By the end of it, your body will be pleasantly knackered, your hair will be full of salt, and your surf skills will have come a long way. If you’re after an easygoing east-coast escape with real beach time built in, this one’s a ripper.

Know before you go: - This trip is best suited to beginners and first-time surfers, with lessons designed for easy learning. - The camp is beachfront, so you’ll be spending a lot of time in sandy, salty, sun-soaked conditions. - Bring swimmers, a towel, sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses and a light layer for cooler evenings. - Check your departure point and drop-off options before booking, as transport varies depending on your travel plan. - If you want to join optional activities, bring a little extra spending money for extras not covered in the package. - Evenings can be social, so if you’re after an early night, pack earplugs just in case the camp gets lively.
