The most important question! For a look at what the waves are like at each destination please refer to the “Waves” section on the destination page for a breakdown of what you can expect on your expedition. We have also added a list of our favorite surf report and surf forecast links to see what the waves are doing right now. And of course feel free to reach out to us with any questions you have about the waves you can expect to surf on your next expedition.

Proper surf etiquette is crucial anywhere in the world. Show respect and get respect, keep it low key, simple, and fun!

We work hard to give you the best experience possible. Most surf resorts and surf charter boats go out of their way to make sure you are taken care of and succeed.

Most of our guests prefer to bring their own computers or smart phones to stay in touch with the real world in between surf sessions. The majority of our destinations feature a decent internet connection strong enough for internet based phone calls. Most of the time you can also get a 3G phone signal, even in areas that seem quite remote. How you decide to stay connected is up to you but please remember to alert your phone carrier before you leave and set up an international plan for your phone.

Each destination page has a section that breaks down what to expect on your trip, what is included, and what you need to be prepared for.

Our ultimate goal is to provide our a safe and comfortable experience and hopefully one filled with plenty of fun waves as well. Your accommodation options are heavily dependent on the expedition you chose to go on. Some of our surf strikes to remote regions can be pretty basic but we also offer trips to the highest end surf resorts in the world. Our surf rental properties are typically in the middle to high end of the spectrum but are located amongst a large variety of different waves catering to people of all surfing levels. Our overall aim is to find a trip with every potential budget in mind and spread the goodwill of discovering new waves.

For specific details about dining options please visit the individual destination’s page where there is a section that will explain this in detail.

Do as much or as little as you like. The landscape and activities available on our expeditions are extraordinary and varied. There are things to keep you totally busy or you can practice the fine art of doing nothing at all. There are some surf resort and boat options that are 100% about searching for and finding waves and other experiences that are better suited for a family vacation mixed in with some occasional surf time.

This is entirely up to you. The average tip averages about $10 US per day for any tour or destination. If you’ve had a great time, the staff did a wonderful job and were accommodating, let them know how you feel.

Hopefully with enough advanced notice we can accommodate any and all requests.

When any trip ends we recommend you take enough time to get prepared and located all of your possessions before departure. It’s a lot easier and less stressful to be ready to go the night before instead of throwing everything haphazardly into boardbags and backpacks when you need to catch a flight in 2 hours.

For most destinations it is ok to leave behind clothes and knick-knacks that are easily replaceable. The number one request from local staff is to get board-shorts so if you can leave anything that will assuredly be the most coveted gift besides a tip.

It’s never too early to reserve your next expedition with World Wave Expeditions!
