Surf & Stay in Canggu: 8-Day Surf Camp with Daily Lessons and Breakfast

Canggu is a coastal town on Bali's south-west coast, about 45 minutes from the airport. It's built around surfing: the beach breaks at Echo Beach and Batu Bolong are a short walk or scooter ride from the camp, and the streets around them are full of cafés, warungs and surf shops. The camp sits in the heart of town, with laundry and an ATM one minute away.

A typical day starts with breakfast at the camp's on-site kitchen — local Indonesian food, included in most packages. Then you head out with your group and a Mojosurf instructor. Lessons cover the basics if you're new: paddling, popping up, reading waves. If you already surf, the coaches work on turning, positioning and wave selection, and they film sessions so you can watch the video analysis afterwards. Boards and equipment are provided, so you don't need to bring your own.

Afternoons are free. You can keep surfing, take a yoga class in town, or just lie by the pool. The camp runs activities through the week, and there's a happy hour every night. The 3 Day Best of Bali Arrival Package is a separate add-on that includes a day trip to the Ubud temple, a Balinese massage and a visit to the Monkey Forest, with a Mojosurf guide.

Rooms are private or dorm-style — 4-bed or 8-bed — and all have air conditioning and an en suite bathroom. Each room has lockers (bring a padlock) and the property has 24/7 security. The camp is a mix of Western and Balinese staff, and the vibe is social but calm. It's not a party hostel; it's a place to surf, eat, sleep and do it again.

The Surf & Stay Bali package is the core offering: shared accommodation, daily breakfast, and daily surf lessons with equipment, for stays of 2 to 8 days. Longer surf academies run for 1, 2 or 3 months, and there are also week-long trips to Nusa Lembongan, Lombok and Red Island (Java) that start or finish in Canggu.
