Surf Yoga BeerActive and social group travel for people who would rather belong somewhere than just go somewhere.SurfYogaBeer has been running active, social group trips since 2014. Most of our travelers are in their 20s to 40s, come from cities like New York, LA, Chicago and DC, and book solo. By day two, they are not solo anymore.We don't always surf, or do yoga, or drink beer. But whatever we do, it's always in good balance. Surfing in Nicaragua. Skiing in Austria. Sailing in Turkey. Safari in Kenya. Hiking the Dolomites. Boat days in Croatia. Trips run about a week, with a mix of adventure, movement, real food, local culture, and nights that go later than planned.This is not a retreat. There is no mandatory silence, no woo-woo, and nobody is going to make you journal about it. It is a balance of adventure, sweat and social connection, run by leaders who have done the trip before and know where the good stuff is.Age is just a number here. We host a diverse mix of people in their 20s to 40s, sometimes even 50s. Energy matters more than your birth year. It's about showing up, not being the fittest person there.Most people come solo. Most people leave with a group chat that is still going a year later.Based in New York. Traveling everywhere.

This experience was incredible. The days were planned out very well so from sun up to sun down the day was planned which was great because you could really just enjoy everything. Also, they have a photographer with you the entire time taking great pics of you / the group so you can really be present and unplug (I even left my phone behind for a few things). The mix of fitness, food, culture, and partying was perfect. You really get to experience everything. The group of people was awesome. Fun likeminded people from all over the place. Made some good friends on the trip. Nothing but good vibes. The leaders were great. Did an awesome job making sure everyone has fun, but also they’ll push you a bit which is great. They make it a lot of fun and are super helpful. I’ve traveled 15+ countries, seen lots of history, partied plenty of places…etc. This is my first ever group solo travel trip, and first SYB trip. Couldn’t recommend it enough. I will 100% be doing another SYB trip!

Dan, first group trip, first SYB, and you left your phone behind for a few things. That's the dream. Thanks for this, see you on the next one.

I this was the literal BEST. TRIP. EVER!! I’ve traveled extensively all over the world with many different people - but SYB took it to the next level! I have amazing friends and memories for life because of SYB and Lizzie!! If you’re ever lucky enough to be on a trip where she is a leader, you’ll understand exactly what I mean! She was incredible in EVERY way and I’m so thankful for this whole experience!

Jaley, Lizzie is going to frame this one. Thank you, and so glad Croatia gave you friends for life.

Holly Matas and Luca were awesome. Everything was flawless from the second I landed in CR. I had an amazing time.

flawless from the second you landed is a high bar, and Holly, Matas and Luca are going to be unbearable about it now. costa rica does not mess around. thanks Juan, see you on the next one.

I just went on my 10th SYB trip and it was an amazing way to cap such a milestone! While Surf Yoga Beer may not be for everyone, if you show up ready to embrace new people, new experiences and go with the flow, these trips are for you. The beauty of Surf Yoga Beer is it brings likeminded people together and can form friendships that far outlast the trip. I have not only made a lot of fiends on the trips, but now I see them throughout the year when I travel to work or see family. If you aren't sure if SYB is for you, I highly recommend reaching out and scheduling a call with their team. When I did so, they recommended the Turkey trip and to say it was amazing was an understatement. A special thank you to Erin, Mantis, Mantas, Steph, Shriner and everyone who has made these trips so great! I can't wait for number eleven!
Response from Surf Yoga BeerJul 29, 2026
ten trips, Chris. that's not a customer at that point, that's family. Erin, Steph and Shriner are gonna lose it when they read this. and thanks for telling people to just hop on a call first, genuinely the best way to figure out if it's your thing. Turkey was a good call. onto eleven.

Just wrapped up my sixth SYB trip and France might be my favorite yet. The route from Cassis to St. Tropez was incredible, the Calanques kayaking and the Verdon aqua randonnée were both standouts. Group energy was great from day one, especially the July 4th party and theme nights. Itinerary was always clear, details for the next day were posted in the group chat every night so nobody was ever guessing what was coming. The group itself was easy to click with, people were friendly and open from the start, though like any trip you get out what you put in. Christian ran point as senior leader and did a great job keeping the group organized and logistics tight, no small feat for a first-time destination. Erin's energy and attention to detail elevated the whole trip, she made sure everyone felt taken care of throughout. Holly and Matas rounded out a strong team, Matas's photography alone captured the trip perfectly. Already booked for SYB Japan in early 2027, and looking at a few other trips too.

Cassis to St. Tropez is a stretch of coast that just doesn't miss, and the Calanques kayak day is quietly one of our favorites on the whole calendar. good to hear the nightly group chat drops landed too, that was a deliberate fix this year. Christian, Erin, Holly and Matas ran a tight ship. six down and Japan next, that's a hell of a switch up. see you on the snow.

Having now completed six Surf Yoga Beer trips, Côte d’Azur is definitely in the running for my favorite. The South of France is an incredible destination, but what really put this trip over the top for me was the combination of exceptional leadership, a fantastic group of people, and the amount of care that clearly went into every detail. From the itinerary and activities to the restaurants, accommodations, and overall atmosphere, everything felt thoughtfully planned. One of the things I appreciate most about Surf Yoga Beer is that they give you everything you need to have an incredible trip—the itinerary, the destinations, the activities, and countless opportunities to connect with great people—but they also give you the freedom to experience it however you want. You can join every activity, spend an afternoon exploring on your own, or do a little of both. The Côte d’Azur trip struck that balance perfectly, and I think that’s one of the things that makes Surf Yoga Beer stand out. I had only met one person before this trip, so I showed up knowing almost no one. By the end of the week, I left with 26 friends. That’s something I’ll always be grateful for. It says a lot about the people on the trip, the atmosphere that was created, and the kind of experience Surf Yoga Beer strives to create. Everything was exceptionally well organized. Communication was clear, logistics ran smoothly, and I never found myself wondering what was happening next. Moving a group through multiple cities and activities isn’t easy, but the entire trip felt effortless from our perspective. Erin, Holly, Christian, and Matas were an outstanding leadership team. They were approachable, organized, professional, and genuinely invested in making sure everyone had a great experience. They struck the perfect balance of keeping everything running smoothly while still making the trip feel relaxed and fun. They’re easily among my favorite Surf Yoga Beer leaders, and I’d happily do another trip with any of them. And a special shout-out to Erin for putting together an absolutely baller day at Shellona Saint-Tropez. It was easily one of the highlights of the week. The food, accommodations, and activities were all excellent, and every stop felt intentional. Nothing felt like it was included just to fill the itinerary. This trip reminded me why I keep coming back to Surf Yoga Beer. Yes, the destinations are incredible, but what keeps me booking these trips are the people you meet, the experiences you share, and the friendships you come home with. If you’re considering this trip—whether you’re traveling solo or with friends—I couldn’t recommend it more highly.

showed up knowing one person, left with 26 friends. we might just retire and let that line do the talking. and you clocked the thing we care about most, that you can go full send on every activity or disappear for an afternoon and neither one is the wrong answer. Erin's Shellona day was a proper moment. thanks Tim, six trips deep and still writing us essays, we appreciate you.
