It was my first time surfing (ever) and my guide made sure I got the most out of it, taking me to various spots around Kleinmond and Hermanus, teaching me the technicals but also how the sea and waves work.

Beginner Surf Trips – The Details

Our beginner surf trips are based along South Africa’s beautiful west coast, between the vibrant city of Cape Town and the quiet coastal town of Britannia Bay – just a 1.5-hour scenic drive from the city. You’ll enjoy access to uncrowded, beginner-friendly beaches, ideal for learning to surf in a relaxed, low-pressure environment with personalised coaching from our experienced local guides.

The length of your stay is completely flexible. Whether you’re joining us for a long weekend or a full two-week escape, we’ll make sure you have everything you need to make it unforgettable. Your package includes a dedicated surf guide, all ground transport, comfortable beachfront accommodation, surfboards, wetsuits, and more.

From the moment you land, we’ve got you covered. Your guide will meet you at your chosen pickup point – most often Cape Town International Airport – and transport you safely to your coastal home base.

Each morning starts with a delicious, hearty South African breakfast to fuel the day’s adventures. Your daily itinerary can be as chilled or action-packed as you like, with options including:

  • Daily surf lessons and free surf sessions
  • Big 5 safari game drives
  • Authentic local cuisine experiences
  • Wine tasting in world-renowned vineyards
  • Seafood foraging with local experts
  • Sea kayaking and beach hikes

We believe no two trips should be the same. Whether you’re a laid-back traveler seeking a peaceful beach holiday, or an adventure-seeker craving thrilling activities, we’ll tailor your trip to match your style and pace.

Expect meaningful connections, stunning landscapes, and the opportunity to truly experience South Africa while learning a life-changing skill.
