10-Day Surf & Adventure Wellness Escape on Ecuador's Pacific Coast

The structure of the week is built around getting you comfortable on a surfboard. Sol starts with land instruction on day two, then you're in the water at Olón and Montañita, two of the coast's best-known surf beaches. Over the following days, you'll paddle out at Ayampe, a quieter break further south, and fit in an afternoon surf session most days when the conditions are right. If you're not a natural surfer, that's fine—the pace is gentle and the focus is on having fun in the water. Beyond surfing, the itinerary packs in a lot of exploration. There's a boat trip out to El Pelado Marine Reserve to snorkel with sea lions, a full day at La Plata Island (often called 'little Galapagos' for its bird life and, in whale season, migrating humpbacks), a hike through the rainforest to Dos Mangas Waterfalls, and a day at Los Frailes National Park and the Agua Blanca ancestral community, which ends with a lobster lunch in La Rinconada. There's also a horse riding outing through Ayampe and a day at an hacienda in the jungle near Olón, where you might spot monkeys and toucans. Days 7 is deliberately left open as a chill day, so you can sleep in, book a massage, or just sit on the beach. The whole trip is bookended by airport pickups, so you don't have to think about logistics. Sol's background in hotel management shows in how smoothly everything runs—the restaurants are pre-vetted, the guides are local and knowledgeable, and every detail is taken care of.
