This Wanderland tour was hands-down one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had! We booked it as part of our honeymoon and wow it was incredible. Every day brought something new and exciting—paragliding in Lombok, snorkeling with turtles, and the legendary Gili T pub crawl were some of my absolute highlights. I also loved biking around the islands and swimming in waterfalls with the group—such a fun and adventurous crew! Our group leader, Stacia, was phenomenal. She was knowledgeable, fun, and always had such great energy. I felt completely safe and taken care of the entire time, which meant I could just relax and enjoy the trip without any stress. Being our honeymoon, Stacia went the extra mile to ensure we felt special - from desserts at restaurants to flower pedal swan displays on the bed! Just wow! The only thing I noticed was that she was staying in separate hotels than us - a bit of feedback is that I would feel more comforted in knowing she was on site in case of emergency. She really made the experience what it was—we’re so lucky to have had her leading our tour! Wanderland, thank you for the memories—and Stacia, thank you for being such a star!

I did the Bali tour with Jamie and what an absolute delight it was! Not only was it exceptionally well organised, from the pick up at the airport, the AMAZING hotels, food spots and transport but Jamie made it all a breeze. Plus the guys quite funny too (hate to admit it) which made the experience even easier. All in all, a great company and when you’ve got a tour guide like Jamie it only makes you want to go book somewhere else again!

What our customers ask about Surfing Tours & Trips
What are the best destinations for surfing tours?
For great surfing, head to Byron Bay and Spot X Surf Camp in Australia, where friendly local instructors will help you catch waves at iconic breaks. In Bali, both Kuta Beach and Canggu work well for learning - the water stays a pleasant 80°F (27°C) year-round. If you're looking for reliable waves, check out Taghazout in Morocco. The conditions there are good pretty much any time you visit. As one TourRadar traveler says: "The surf lessons were really well organized and the instructors were excellent at getting everyone standing up on their first day."
When is the best time to go on a surfing tour?
The best time really depends on where you want to go. If you're heading to Byron Bay in Australia, book between September and April when the water's warmer and waves are consistent. For Morocco's Taghazout, winter (October-March) brings bigger waves of 6-8 feet (2-2.5 meters). In Bali, plan your trip during dry season (April-October) when you'll find steady waves around 3-5 feet (1-1.5 meters). One TourRadar traveler shared: "We went in April and had perfect weather and waves every day at Byron Bay - not too crowded and ideal for learning."
How long are typical surfing lessons on these tours?
Most lessons run for 2-3 hours, including time for beach instruction before you hit the water. At Spot X Surf Camp in Australia, you'll spend about 90 minutes in the water during morning lessons. In Taghazout, they split up the sessions between morning and afternoon - this way you can rest between sessions and catch the best waves of the day. One TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Having both morning and afternoon sessions really helped cement the techniques we learned, with enough rest time between to recharge."
What accommodation can I expect on a surfing tour?
You'll stay close to the surf spots, which makes getting to your lessons easy. In Byron Bay, you might be at the Wake Up! Hostel or similar places right by the beach. If you're surfing in Bali, expect to stay at laid-back surf camps or beachfront spots like the Kuta Paradiso Hotel. In Morocco's Taghazout, you'll likely stay in a traditional riad where you can walk to the surf breaks in just a few minutes.
