Booking & payment

How do I book my stay?

You can book directly on the “Book” page of our website, or contact us by email or through the contact form. To book by email, just send us your dates, the type of room you'd like, and your flight and ticket numbers, and we'll take care of the rest.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

No. When you book directly with us, you pay for your entire stay on arrival.

Which payment methods do you accept?

Credit/debit card on site, cash, or bank transfer (bank details sent on request). If you booked on Booking.com, payment follows the conditions shown on Booking.com.

Is there a minimum stay?

Yes, the minimum stay is 3 nights.

Do I have to book a package with activities?

No. You can book accommodation only (Free Package) and choose your activities once you're here, depending on what you feel like and the weather conditions.

The website only lets me sign up one person for lessons. How do I book for two?

Book your accommodation online, then send us a quick email: we'll add the lessons for each participant. Often the easiest option is simply to book your lessons once you're at the camp.

Can I get an invoice (for my employer, a reimbursement, etc.)?

Yes, just ask us by email, giving the name on the booking and the dates of your stay.

Is the tourist tax included?

The tourist tax is included in the price, unless you booked on Booking.com, in which case it is paid on site.

Do you accept groups?

We're a small, friendly place: we're happy to welcome families and small groups of friends, but not large groups (school classes, seminars, etc.).

Surf, kite & activities

Do I need to book surf lessons in advance?

It's not compulsory: you can book lessons directly at the camp and plan them day by day according to conditions. During busy periods (school holidays, Christmas and New Year), it's best to let us know in advance.

What are the surf lessons like?

Lessons usually take place in the morning, between 9 am and 12 pm, with at least 2.5 hours in the water. Your instructor drives you to the spot best suited to the day's conditions. Equipment (board and rash vest) is included.

Do lessons start on a specific day of the week?

No, you can start any day, for example the day after you arrive.

How much do surf lessons cost?

A 5-lesson course costs €200 (around €40 per single lesson, equipment included). For experienced surfers, surf guiding costs €25 per half-day.

I don't need lessons – can I rent a board?

Yes: €15 per half-day, €25 per day or €150 per week. We have a good selection of boards, from shortboards to longboards.

My partner doesn't surf – can they come with me?

Of course! Lessons are not required to stay at the camp.

What level are the lessons for?

Beginner to intermediate (Surfer Package). Experienced surfers can choose surf guiding (Ripper Package) at the best spots of the moment.

Do you offer kitesurfing and wingfoil lessons?

Yes, in partnership with Sainte-Anne Kite School in Bois Jolan (about a 10-minute drive). Kite lessons are in groups: €90 per single lesson or €470 for a 5-lesson course. For wingfoil, we work with the Bluesoley club in Saint-François. You'll need your own way to get to the spot (transfer option available).

What other activities are there?

Diving (centre in Saint-François, reachable by bike), SUP trips in the mangrove, canyoning in Basse-Terre (car needed), rainforest excursions, yoga… The Multi-Activity Package combines surfing, SUP, a discovery dive and canyoning. Most activities can be booked directly on site. Please note we no longer rent SUPs.

Can I surf all year round?

Yes, there are waves all year round in Guadeloupe, including for intermediate surfers. Every day we choose the spot best suited to your level.

Getting here & around

How do I get here from Pôle Caraïbes airport?
  • Shuttle: we can arrange an airport ↔ camp transfer for €80 each way. Just send us your flight number and phone number.
  • Bus: depending on your landing time, you can take a Karulis bus (line to Saint-François).
  • Rental car: often the best option for exploring the island.
Is there Uber in Guadeloupe?

No, there's no Uber. You can use the bus, our shuttle or a taxi.

Do I need a car?

Not to enjoy the camp and surf lessons (your instructor drives you to the spot). However, if you want to visit Basse-Terre, the volcano or go canyoning, a car is strongly recommended, as buses don't serve every site. Expect around €25 per day. We recommend our partner LOCARLOCATION – reliable and competitively priced.

Is there parking?

Yes, free parking is available for guests.

Can I walk to the beach or the surf spot?

The Roba spot is a 5-minute walk away (a challenging wave), and Vieux Port is about 20 minutes on foot. Free bikes are available to get to Saint-François town centre, the beaches and the shops.

How do I get to Marie-Galante or Les Saintes?

Ferries leave from Saint-François.

Life at the camp & services

Is breakfast included?

No, it's optional: €15 per breakfast or €100 per week. A vegetarian option is available.

Do you serve dinner?

We don't serve dinner, but there's a fully equipped kitchen for you to use and plenty of small restaurants nearby.

Are there shops nearby?

Yes, there's a small grocery store and a bakery 200 metres from the surf camp, and supermarkets are easy to reach, especially by bike.

What facilities are available?

Swimming pools, free bikes, a pétanque court, a ping-pong table, a fully equipped kitchen and a washing machine (ask at reception).

Do you have snorkelling gear (fins, mask)?

Safety: beware of scams

I received a text or WhatsApp message asking me to pay or confirm my booking. Is it from you?
