True family destination with plenty to do for all
Considered to be one of the wonders of the world by the travellers, the Maldives are nestled south-west of India in the
Indian Ocean and are formed by about 1200 coral islands. This tropical paradise is well-known for its pristine clear waters,
beautiful overwater bungalows and bright blue skies, all-year sunshine and fantastic diving and snorkelling. This tropical
archipelago is the ultimate holiday destination for sun, sand and beach lovers, couples on a honeymoon, families and scuba
divers.. And did we mention the world-class surf conditions?
If you’re travelling on your own, or with a group, then the best way to get the most out of a surfing trip in the Maldives is to
get yourself on a surf boat charter. The surf throughout the Maldives generally ranges in size from 4-8 ft, and a great variety
of reef breaks exist ranging in intensity for all levels of surfer. They experience a similar surf season to that of Indonesia with
the best waves from May to October.

The words ‘Bali’ and ‘surfing’ have gone hand-in-hand for over 40 years. A favourite
amongst Australians due to its geographical proximity, Bali is also world-renowned for
its consistency, variety and number of awesome breaks. Bali gets surf most of the year:
during the dry season of April to October, the trade winds favour the west coast; during
the wet season of November to March, the tides and winds favour the east coast, mainly
around Nusa Dua and Sanur. The most popular area of Bali is around Uluwatu. There
are a number of beach breaks suitable for beginners and some of the surf camps include
lessons in their packages. There are innumerable hotels of every standard for every
budget with luxury villas great for groups of couples or families, and many alternative
activities for after hours, or non surfing partners or family members.
