What you can expect

  • Day 1 – Arrival & Welcome

    Arrive in Umzumbe and take in the breath-taking coastal scenery as you settle into your accommodation. Get acquainted with the retreat space before unwinding with a relaxing sunset yoga session overlooking the ocean. As the evening sets in, gather with fellow travellers for a warm welcome dinner where your hosts will walk you through the retreat programme, what to expect, and how to make the most of your experience.

    Day 2 – Surf & Wellness

    Rise early and greet the morning with an energising sunrise yoga session designed to awaken the body and set a positive tone for the day. Fuel up with a wholesome, healthy breakfast before heading to the beach for your first guided surf lesson. Your experienced instructors will cover ocean safety, reading the waves, paddling techniques, and the fundamentals of standing up and riding your first wave. After a day in the water, wind down with an evening yoga recovery session focused on stretching and relaxing the muscles used during surfing, followed by a nourishing dinner.

    Day 3 – Ocean Adventure & Departure

    Begin your final morning with a peaceful yoga and meditation session to centre yourself before one last time in the water. Head out for an intermediate surf experience with your instructors, building on what you learned and gaining more confidence on the waves. After your session, enjoy a leisurely lunch and take some time to soak up the beauty of Umzumbe whether that's relaxing on the beach, taking a walk along the coastline, or capturing memories with photos. Round off the retreat with a celebratory farewell bonfire dinner before check-out and departure.
