Surf Tours if you want to chase the best banks with a guide and camp in teepees. Prefer your own room and a slower pace? Look at Surf & Stay instead: same coaching, comfier bed, you set the schedule.
Surf Tours take everyone 14 and up, so parents and teens tour together. Younger kids go to Ultimate Surf Camp on their own adventure, or the whole crew books a Family Surf & Stay.
Ages 8 to 15 go Ultimate Surf Camp, the classic all in summer camp. High schoolers wanting surf, surf, surf, ages 13 to 18, go Youth Surf Camp with their own age group. A 14 or 15 year old fits either; pick by vibe, Ultimate is surf camp style, Youth is surf trip style.
Surf Tours depart September to November and February to May. The Womens Wellness Retreat runs December and February or selected special dates, Youth Surf Camp September through April holidays, and Ultimate goes October, January and April.
Surf Tours include Auckland pickups with the airport covered. Ultimate has free Remuera and Albany buses plus a $100 airport option, and Youth Camp offers Auckland transfer options at booking. The whole country is one flight away.
Beginners thrive. Groups split by ability, target water ratios of no more than 1:6, and instructors are ISA qualified with 20+ years of camps behind them.
Auckland pickups on tours, airport transfer option on Ultimate. Wellington groms and Queenstown crews welcome.
