Itinerary

Note: Itinerary can be altered based on groups needs. We can separate the group if some people prefer to surf vs. other excursion.

  • The surf retreat kicks off with a warm Hawaiian welcome as guests arrive at the airport. The first group is treated to a taste of local cuisine at the Sharks Cove food trucks, offering a delightful introduction to the island's flavors. As everyone settles into their accommodations, they're greeted with traditional leis and given a comprehensive tour of the house. The day concludes with a festive Welcome Poke night, where guests can mingle and savor fresh, locally-sourced poke, setting the tone for the exciting week ahead.

  • The day begins with a hearty breakfast at the house, featuring a spread of eggs, bread, avocado, oatmeal, juice, and coffee. At 10 AM, guests dive into their first 2-hour surf lesson, catching waves and building confidence in the water. Lunch follows at Farm2Barn in Haleiwa, offering farm-fresh delights. The afternoon presents options for relaxation or a second surf session. As evening approaches, the group heads to Waimea for an exhilarating cliff-jumping experience. The day concludes with dinner at Sharks Cove, allowing guests to reflect on their adventures while enjoying ocean views.

  • Another early start with breakfast at the house prepares guests for their second 2-hour surf lesson. Post-surf, the group refuels with refreshing acai bowls from Banzai Bowls or Haleiwa Bowls. The highlight of the day comes at 6 PM with a visit to Pipeline Beach, where guests can witness Jade tackling the legendary waves. The evening turns lively with beach games, volleyball, and refreshing beverages. The day wraps up with a festive Taco Tuesday "Surf n Salsa" night, combining delicious food with the day's surfing tales.

  • After breakfast, the group splits into two. One half enjoys a 2-hour free surf session, honing their skills from previous lessons. The other half embarks on an east side adventure, hiking the scenic Lanikai Pillbox trail and exploring Kailua, Waimanalo, and Makapuu. The groups reunite for a breathtaking sunset at China Walls, followed by dinner at Kona Brewing Company in Hawaii Kai, offering a perfect blend of local brews and island-inspired cuisine.

  • The day takes a serene turn with a morning yoga, meditation, and breathwork session after breakfast. Post-lunch, guests don snorkels to explore the vibrant marine life at Sharks Cove. The late afternoon offers a choice between a free surf session at sunset or a tranquil paddleboard experience, allowing guests to connect with the ocean in their preferred way.

  • Venturing south, the group enjoys a 2-hour surf lesson at iconic spots like Canoes, Bowls, or Diamond Head. Lunch at Lulu's refuels the group before they embark on the Lulumahu waterfall hike, with an option for a skateboarding session on the way back. The day concludes with a picturesque sunset viewed from the house, followed by dinner, providing a moment of reflection on the week's adventures.

  • The final full day begins with the last group surf session in the morning. As the retreat nears its end, guests participate in a Hakulei making night, creating traditional Hawaiian floral crowns as keepsakes. The week culminates in a send-off dinner at Turtle Bay, offering a chance to celebrate newfound friendships and surfing achievements against a stunning coastal backdrop.

  • As guests prepare for departure, they carry with them a week's worth of unforgettable experiences, improved surfing skills, and a deep connection to the Hawaiian spirit, marking the end of an incredible surf retreat.
