“Had such a good time onboard the Atlantic Clipper! The crew did their absolute best in every aspect: the food was good, there were a lot of water activities (slides, paddle boards, snorkeling and diving, music quizzes etc)... I totally recommend going with the Atlantic Clipper if you want to spend two nights in the Whitsundays!” - tripadvisor.com

“I did the surf & stay for 4 days and enjoyed it from beginning to end. The beach is quiet, perfect for beginners… The instructors are super friendly and knowledgeable. Shouts to Kevin for being a legend and doing a killer kookaburra impression haha. The whole place had a big family vibe… I’ll definitely return!”

HOW MUCH DO BYRON BAY SURF CAMPS COST?
The cost of a surf trip depends on how long you stay and what’s included. A single surf lesson will usually cost much less than a multi-day surf camp, while longer East Coast surf adventures can include accommodation, meals, equipment, transport and multiple lessons.
Found a surf camp or lesson online? Send TRU the link before you book and we’ll check the price, what’s included and whether we can offer you better value.
ARE SURF CAMPS WORTH IT?
If you want more than a single surf lesson, a surf camp can be a great way to learn faster while meeting other travellers. Multi-day trips give you more time in the water, while accommodation and equipment are often bundled into the experience.
The best option depends on your budget, how much time you have and whether you want a social surf-camp experience or simply a lesson in Byron Bay. TRU can help you compare the options before you book.
