SOME QUICK QUESTIONS
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE AGE?
The average age of people traveling to swell for a surf camp holiday varies per week, but generally speaking, the people that come to Swell on a surf holiday are aged between 25 and 55. That’s not to say that in certain weeks there are more people in their 20’s than 40’s (or the other way around). Also, we have had people in their 60 on a Swell learn how to surf course.
Most clients are from the USA, Canada, and Europe, and 80% of them are working professionals who want the comforts of a Surfing & Yoga retreat combined with the social aspect of a surf resort.
Here is a screenshot of the last bookings at Swell to give you an idea of the age and the solo travelers versus groups.
As you can see the average age is around 40 years old.
ON WHICH DAY SHOULD I ARRIVE?
At Swell we don’t have a fixed arrival day. We realise flight prices can change day by day, so you are free to arrive any day of the week at Swell.
I’M A BEGINNER SURFER, WHEN IS BEST FOR ME TO COME?
If you are a complete beginner surfer, you have the best choice; here in the Dominican Republic, where we teach our surf lessons, there are very few days of the year where you wouldn’t be able to surf as a beginner. This means that the whole year is open for you to take lessons as our surfing lessons are undertaken on the ‘inside’ of the reef (so you are protected from larger waves whenever there is a swell running).

CAN I STAY LONGER / SHORTER THAN 7 DAYS?
Staying longer at a Swell Surf Vacation is not a problem, we get a lot of returning clients that do not like the cold weather in their home countries during the winter, and stay at Swell Surf Camp for several weeks.
Even during our wintertime, you do not ever have to wear a wetsuit, the water is warm, and leave your warm clothes at home too, just bring plenty of sunscreen.
Staying shorter is also possible, although the minimum stay most of the year is 4 nights. At Swell we do not have a set arrival date, so see what flights are available, send us a message and join us for a surf holiday with like-minded adults.
I HAVE DIETARY RESTRICTIONS
Whilst we do not have a team of chefs to cater to every whim, we are well used to catering for vegetarians, vegans and people with other food intolerances. We have a wide variety of ingredients to choose from and will always try our very best to cater for your needs if you tell us in advance, so just send us an email to see what your options are.
IS THIS A WOMAN SURF & YOGA RETREAT
No, at Swell we are open to all; men and woman are welcome to join us for a unique Caribbean Retreat
