Daily surf lessons in small groups — 2:1 coaching (max 3:1), in-water guidance, daily video analysis, plus pool and theory sessions. We pick the right Canggu break for your level each day, beginner to advanced.

Most beginners catch their first waves in the first few sessions and are surfing independently within a week. Properly mastering it — turning, reading waves — takes longer, which is why most guests wish they’d booked more time.

Canggu’s beach breaks — Batu Bolong, Old Man’s, Berawa, Echo Beach — are on our doorstep, ideal for beginners and improving intermediates. For intermediate and advanced surfers, Uluwatu, Padang Padang and Keramas are a short drive. We check the forecast daily and take you to the right wave for your level.

Here are some essentials to bring along:

• Sportswear – Pack comfortable, breathable activewear for Pilates, yoga, and any other movement sessions.
• Swimsuits – Bring a couple of swimsuits for relaxing by the pool, beach dips, or spa sessions.
• Yoga Mat (Optional) – We provide mats, but if you have a favorite, feel free to bring it.
• Water Bottle – Stay hydrated throughout the day; reusable bottles are encouraged.
• Flip Flops/Sandals – Easy slip-ons for walking around the retreat or heading to the beach.
• Sunglasses & Sunscreen – Protect yourself from the tropical sun while practicing outdoors.
• Casual Clothing – Lightweight, comfortable outfits for relaxing, exploring, or dining.
• Light Sweater or Shawl – Evenings can be breezy, so it’s good to have something light to layer.
• Toiletries & Personal Care – Natural mosquito repellent, skincare, and any personal hygiene essentials.
• Journal & Pen – Perfect for reflection, setting intentions, or jotting down insights from your retreat.
• Travel Documents – Don’t forget your passport, visa (if required), and travel insurance (highly recommended).
• Medications & First Aid – Any personal prescriptions or basic first-aid supplies.
• Camera or Phone – Capture beautiful moments, but don’t forget to disconnect and be present.
• Cash & Credit Cards – Some local places may prefer cash, so having a mix is useful.

Look out for Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) (also known as Denpasar International Airport) when you’re searching for flights. It’s the main airport in Bali located near the capital city of Denpasar. From Ngurah Rai International Airport, you can easily reach various destinations in Bali, including Canggu where Elsewhere Surf Camp Bali is located (Our airport-transfer is the best and easiest way to reach the camp!)

Of course! The best way to get from the airport to Elsewhere Surf Camp Canggu is with one of our drivers.

• The drive can take about 30 minutes to 1.5 hours, depending on the traffic.

To organize your transfer, we will need the following details:

Definitely — most of our guests arrive solo. With shared meals, nightly events and a social crew, you come on your own and leave with friends.

We’re 18+, and most of our Bali crew are between 20 and 27 — solo travellers from all over, up for surfing and good times.

We run camps in both. Canggu, Bali is great year-round and peaks April–October; our Weligama, Sri Lanka camp peaks November–April. Pick whichever suits your dates — or do both.

It also depends on your vibe. Canggu, Bali is buzzing — legendary nightlife, restaurants and surf culture on your doorstep, great year-round. Weligama, Sri Lanka is rawer and growing fast, we are located on the beach and have our own ac gym / studio in Sri Lanka. It’s only 50m from the beginner beach, peaking November–April. Can’t choose? Do both.

Yes — yoga sessions are included when you book the weekly package, perfect for stretching out sore muscles after a surf.

No need — board rental’s included. Take any board from our quiver, beginner foamies to performance shortboards, anytime throughout your stay.

Shared dorms or private rooms, all with AC, lock boxes, power points and a reading light per bunk, plus great WiFi — right in the heart of Canggu.

We’re adults-only (18+), so it’s not set up for families or under-18s — it’s a social crowd of solo travellers and friends.

Most nationalities get a Visa on Arrival for Indonesia (30 days, extendable once) at the airport, or apply for the e-VOA online beforehand. Always check your country’s current requirements before you fly.

Any day you like — lessons run daily and events on a weekly rotation, so you can start whenever. Stay at least a week if you can; the longer you stay, the more free perks you unlock.
