7 Day Learn to Surf
10% discount for groups 4 or more…
(This package is also available for experienced surfers)
We focus on surfing during this package and throw in a couple of other adventures to keep you frothing! You will be based in the small coastal town of Scottburgh; here the gentle bay is perfect for learner surfers. You will have surf lessons by qualified instructors on a daily basis to help you progress to your full potential. On surfing days if for any reason conditions are unfavourable we have an activities list with other adventure options (extra charge). It’s not all fun and games though with a couple of other adventures that’ll TEST your courage.
Day 1
Activities:
We will pick you up from the airport and transport you down the south coast to your accommodation in Scottburgh. Check in and relax while you soak up the atmosphere, the beach is a mere 100 yards away or just chill out in the gardens. A welcome dinner will be served in the bar and entertainment area with a camp fire and braai (barbeque) on the go!
Accommodation:
You will be accommodated at Vulumanzi Surf Camp, a true surfer’s paradise! Tropical gardens, wooden bungalows on stilts and a look-out tower, give you the feel of a deserted island. Just a minute from the beach, all your worries will disappear in no time!
Day 2
Being your first day we’ll let you have a little sleep in, but soon the smell of your breakfast being prepared will become irresistible and you’ll be tempted from your bed. Once breakfast is done and dusted, we travel the couple of minutes drive to the gentle bay of Scottburgh. Here you will be introduced to your instructors and have your first introductory lesson. We’ll spend the entire day on the beach so that you can practise as much as you want. There will be refreshments, lunch and shade provided on the grass area over-looking the ocean so that you can recharge between surfs. Supper will be quick and easy tonight as you should be quite exhausted after your long day.
Accommodation:
Vulumanzi Surf camp
Day 3
Today will start the same as the first, except an earlier rise as you will have 2 lessons. The first in the morning will elaborate on the lesson the day before and then after some practise the second lesson will focus on more advanced techniques. Once again there will be a beach camp set up for you to chill and recharge between lessons. Return to camp to shower and freshen up. Then it’s a night out in the little town, supper at a local restaurant and drinks with the locals (own account).
Accommodation:
Vulumanzi Surf camp
Day 4
Wake up fairly early and make your way to the beach, continue your quest to master your new favourite sport. Return to camp for a hearty breakfast and then leave for a tour to Oribi Gorge. Here you will take a drive through the gorge and see the beautiful scenery, but once at the top of the gorge things change. Here you have the chance to brave the highest bridge swing in the world or abseil down the side of a waterfall (optional). Then settle down to lunch at the Leopard Rock coffee shop and enjoy the spectacular views from their balcony. Supper back at the camp will be a delicious fish Braai (barbeque) at the bar and entertainment area, with a camp fire to sit around and come down after your adrenalin boost!
Accommodation:
Vulumanzi Surf camp
