About this trip
A DREAM DESTINATION
For the 17th time in a row, Maui has been voted one of the Best Islands in the World by Conde Nast Traveler Magazine. From warm clear water, sunshine and ocean breeze, consistent swell, and lush tropical vegetation, there is something for everyone on this incredible island. Relax and be embraced by the spirit of aloha as you experience and learn about true Hawaiian culture and mythology, including star navigation and lei making. Surf, yoga, tropical cuisine, epic sunsets ~ paradise found!
SURF AT ITS BEST
There is a reason why surfing was born in Hawaii ~ perfect waves and gorgeous turquoise warm waters. No wetsuit required! Our dedicated surf break includes views of the Maui west side mountains, both first time surfers and intermediate surfers are sure to enjoy their morning surf lesson and recreational surf opportunities throughout their week. Expect rolling waves to greet you each morning; the start to a perfect day. Your package includes 5 early morning surf sessions (2 hours each) with our experienced surf coaches who will provide a land lesson teaching surf etiquette, safety and technique and then guide you through the water in a nurturing and accommodating manner. High performance, quality surfboards and equipment are provided by our coaches so just bring you sunscreen and sense of adventure!
YOGA & WELLNESS
The Yoga and Wellness Experience is an important element of your retreat. Guests leave not only feeling refreshed, rejuvenated and inspired but they also feel ‘The Bliss’ of experiencing a renewed sense of enjoyment for life, family and even their career. We offer daily yoga that nurtures the mind and body to open and restore the muscles and energy after a morning of surfing. Our practices are designed to illuminate acceptance and gratitude for the moment and offer invitations to absorb mind-body-soul nourishment through grounding, opening, and restorative flows. Yoga mats and blocks will be provided and no previous yoga experience is required. All levels are welcome!
