Day 2
Wake up refreshed and be treated to a delicious breakfast to start you off right for our first surf together!
Learn how to surf or get some expert tips from our certified instructors at one of our many local breaks. All that surfing will give you a mammouth appetite so back to the beach house to replenish yourself in a homemade healthy lunch.
The afternoon is yours! Take your pick... Chill at the beach, kick back at the house on the verandah, explore the quaint little village of Sunny Sawtell browsing boutique stores or taking advantage of the excellent coffee.
You may feel ambitious and want to keep surfing so feel free to grab a board and catch some more waves or try a SUP and explore Bongil Bongil National Park on Bonville Creek. The choice is yours.
Reset and finish the day by immersing yourself in a restorative evening yin yoga session at The Yoga Shack and nourishing yourself in a healthy evening meal shared with new friends and laugh about the day.
Day 3
Kick off the day with another enjoyable breakfast and a morning full of fun surfing with our awesome coaches, then swap the salt for the fresh and tie up those laces because we are headed for the mountains to explore waterfalls amongst World Heritage Gondwana Rainforest in Dorrigo National Park.
Fill your lungs and broaden your smile hiking though this incredible ancient rainforest and be treated with a picnic at the finish line.
We return to Sunny Sawtell for a relaxed evening reflecting on our adventures over dinner together.
