Accommodation:

​

We will be staying at the most iconic surfing retreat center in all the East Coast of Australia: Surfaris! This place holds the best of both worlds: the coastal beauty and its stunning beaches and glassy waves, combined with the peacefulness of the countryside, its gumtrees and unique wildlife.

With an onsite café / bar at your doorstep, you ain’t need to worry about your essential morning coffee or your evening cocktail by the pool, well-deserved after a full day of surfing and physical activity - we’ve got you covered!

​

If relaxing is not your cuppa tea, the onsite yoga deck is available for use 24/7, fully equipped with yoga mats and props for you to stretch and flow at your own rhythm. If that’s not enough and you are looking for a bit more of an adrenaline rush, we have 4x4 vehicles available to take you on wild adventures through the back roads and sandy beaches of the local area.

Experience: 

 

This is a beginners level surf and yoga trip, you don't need to have any experience surfing whatsoever. Maybe this will be your first time standing on your board - how exciting! For that, we have created a super welcoming and open space for you to step out of your comfort zone and try something new with like-minded girls. 

 

All other levels are also welcome! Intermediate and advanced surfer girls can benefit from this surf trip by continually reviewing their photo and video content and getting constructive feedback from our 2 professional surf instructors, plus surf coaching whilst on the water.

​

Getting there:

 

We will all meet at Surfaris on the 7th of September, check-in time being at 2:00 p.m. To get here, you have 2 options:

 

1. Crescent Head is conveniently located exactly in the middle between Brisbane and Sydney, being approximately a 5 hour drive from both locations. If you are visiting us from either city or one of its surrounding areas (Gold Coast, Byron Bay, Central Coast, Newcastle) we highly recommend you to hop on your car and make an epic little road trip out of it! The NSW East Coast is an incredible, rugged environment full of hidden, secret little surfing spots for you to enjoy and use as warm up before the actual trip.

2. If you are making your way to Crescent from any other part of the country, your best option is to fly to Port Macquarie, which is the closest airport to Crescent Head. From there, it is a short 45 minute drive to get to Surfaris. Please feel free to speak to us if you need help in arranging your transport from Port to Crescent - we will be more than happy to assist you with anything you need :)

​

What to Pack:
 

• Swimwear, thongs & comfortable, cozy clothes (it can get a bit chilly at this time of the year, especially after spending so much time in the water!)

• Yoga clothes / activewear.

• Optional to bring your own surfboard & wetsuit 

• Optional to bring your own yoga mat, otherwise we will provide them.

• Sunscreen / zinc, moisturiser, towel, toiletries.

• Books, journals, paintings… anything that will make you relax in your free time :)

• A small backpack to carry your belongings in during the day.

• Optional: BYO yoga mat if you prefer your own mat, otherwise we will provide them. 

​

Itinerary:

​

Please note, this is only an ‘example itinerary’. Given that surfing is an activity that relies heavily on weather and ocean conditions such as tides, swells and winds, our goal is to surf in the best locations and with the most optimal conditions so that you can get the most out of your surfing sesh! :)

 

Usually, conditions are better in the early morning. Thus, we will try to start the day in the water as early as possible. If not, we will wake up our bodies with a nice, gentle yoga flow at our beautiful beach house before heading out to explore the island!

​
