What a surf retreat day in Canggu looks like
Mornings start with breakfast at the camp, then your surf lesson. Our surf school is mobile, so instructors choose the best spot for the day’s conditions. Beginners usually start at Batu Bolong or Old Man’s, where slow, rolling waves suit learners when the swell is small.
Afternoons are yours: the pool, a nap, or the cafés and restaurants of Canggu around the camp. Evenings wind down with Happy Hour and activities through the week, a relaxed place to meet other travellers without the pressure of a party hostel.
Want a gentler start? The 3 Day Best of Bali Arrival Package adds a day trip to an Ubud temple, the Monkey Forest and a Balinese massage with Mojosurf guides.
