Use the “Destinations” or “Plan Your Trip” link to find the surf travel destination that interests you.

Once you have scouted a location check to see if the dates you want are available if that destination operates from a  set schedule. Alternatively, some trips have a flexible schedule which will require us to check and confirm available dates with you.

Fill out a trip inquiry form, send us an e-mail, or give us a call / text message with your requested dates and preferred surf travel destination. 

You can also book your trip deposit and pay your deposit through our one-of-kind booking calendar. This will show up as a “Book Now” button on the destination page if available.

Now that you have confirmed your desired dates and your expedition is available we need to get some basic information from each person in your group to plan your trip.

– Full Name on Passport
– Passport Number
– Passport Expiration Date
– Passport Country
– Birthdate
– Flight Itinerary and Details
– Travel Insurance Confirmation

Once we have received your basic information we require a nominal deposit to secure your booking. You can pay by American Express, VISA, Discover, or Mastercard, you may also send checks to:

World Wave Expeditions
629 Camino de los Mares #101
San Clemente, Ca 92673

or, you can also pay by wire transfer to our United States account.

Exact payment terms are posted on each destination’s detail page.

World Wave Expeditions is equipped to handle all of our guest’s flight details – we will work directly with you to find the appropriate flight and schedule for your trip; otherwise, you are more than welcome to handle those travel details on your own.

Rule #1 is to remember to not miss your flight… #2 is to make sure your passport has six months of availability, and #3 is that you travel with at least one blank page left inside your passport.

Once you’re at most of our surf travel destinations almost everything is taken care of – practically the only thing you need to worry about is what board you should ride, if you are wearing sunblock, or drinking enough water.

Use the “Destinations” or “Plan Your Trip” link to find the surf travel destination that interests you.

Once you have discovered a hotel or rental property that best suits your needs decide what your ideal check-in and check-out dates will be.

All of our hotel and rental bookings require an approval from the hotel property owners and/or managers before confirmation. We do this to ensure we receive the absolute best rate possible and to take advantage of any specials that may be on offer but not posted.

When you “Request to Book” a hotel or rental property for specific dates we ask a few basic questions to help us determine if you would be a good match for that property. (Trip dates, Contact Information, Age, Number of Travelers, and Comments) We then double – check the requested dates against the available dates and if everything lines up we send a rental invoice and payment terms to secure your expedition. We may offer alternative dates and properties depending on issues with availability.

You are welcome to also send us an e-mail, or give us a call / text message with your requested dates and property if you do not feel comfortable sending an inquiry form online or just want to talk to our staff about the options.

Once we have confirmed your hotel room or property is available on your desired dates we need to get some basic information from each person in your group to plan your trip.

At the end of the booking process World Wave Expeditions will send you a detailed “Welcome Letter” which will outline the check-in and check-out process as well as provide relevant details about the hotel or property and the area. This will also include the best contact person in charge of managing the hotel or property and keeping guests happy.

Once a reservation is complete World Wave Expeditions will send a confirmation invoice and “Welcome Letter” which outlines the process for checking in and out of the property, details about the property, and local contact information to help ensure your trip goes as smoothly as possible. There is no online check-in or check-out process except at select hotels.

The “Welcome Letter” will specify the hotel or listing’s address, check-in and check-out times, directions on how to check in to the hotel or facilitate the key exchange (or give access codes to a lock box with the key) and provide your hotel’s or host’s contact details so you can reach them directly in case plans change.

Once you are settled into your hotel or rental property you can refer to the information in our “Welcome Letter” and on our Destination page to sort out where to surf and other local activities. Enjoy!
