Exclusive Guided Tours along the East Coast of Southern Africa

Explore the glorious East coast of Southern Africa and find pristine waves and uncrowded lineups. With an array of surf spots at your disposal, both renowned and hidden gems, and a profound knowledge of local conditions, Skunk Aversion Surf Safaris can guide you to the premier waves with minimal crowds. They have handpicked the finest accommodations in stunning locations along the wave-filled coastline, ensuring an unforgettable experience.

The Villas

Located in Ponta Malongane, the Mozambique luxury surf villa promises an exclusive haven. The villa boasts lavish amenities including a rimflow pool and breathtaking sea vistas. With idyllic surf breaks just steps away, offering warm waters and spectacular backdrops, your craving for perfect waves and unforgettable experiences is certain to be satisfied.

Nestled 2 hours inland from the coast, the Midlands unveils its breathtaking landscape adorned with dams, waterfalls, natural forests, and rolling hills. The Cape Dutch-style house, constructed in the 1960s, boasts elegant interiors and a garden that flourishes with vibrant hydrangeas and majestic old trees.

When youโ€™re not at the villas, youโ€™ll be at one of the hand-picked and exclusive, high-end beachfront accommodation options in the North or South Coast, tailored to the size and needs of your group.

Waves at Skunk Aversion Surf Safaris

Uncrowded sand-bottomed, barreling point breaks, empty A-frames, board shorts, dolphins, and warm waters. Stretching from Maputo to Port Edward, this coastal paradise presents a plethora of enticing setups tailored to suit every surfer’s preference, whether you crave tubes, turns, or endless runners.

The prime surfing season goes from May to the middle of August. In May, as the first winter swells roll in, early morning offshore winds groom the waves to perfection, offering consistent 3-4 foot conditions. As June approaches, the swells intensify in both size and frequency, delivering world-class surf experiences. The waves cater primarily to intermediate and advanced surfers. Being able to paddle out confidently, execute consistent take-offs, and cruise across the wave face is essential for making the most of this incredible surfing destination.

My wife and I booked an 8 day surf charter on the Gahaa with a dedicated surf guide Moussa who was worth his weight in gold knowing what breaks would be firing and his knowledge of marine life and Maldivian environment enlightening for my wife and I. From the initial booking and contact Guilia at AWAVE made the whole process seamless communication was excellent. I have traveled extensively and surfed many parts of the world this trip truly exceeded my expectations the crew were incredible taking us to excellent surf and snorkeling locations. The boat itself is a converted fishing Dohni that exudes old world charm is clean and meticulously cared for. The meals prepared for us were nothing short of exceptional excellent variety and plenty of it a mix of western and Maldivian fare. We are definitely coming back and certainly using AWAVE again! Thank you Giulia and Moussa our trusted surf guide who gave us incredible insights into Maldivian culture.

Absolutely Recommended. Giulia and James are top professionals: I will be using Awave for all my future surf trips. I have been surfing for 30 years and travelled the world so I have dealt with a lot of agents. Awave is in the top spot as far as I am concerned. I spent 10 days with them on a boat trip in Maldivesโ€™ central atolls: not only their recommendations were spot on but being a boutique agency they tailor the surf experience to the very specific needs. They are surfers (real chargers) and know personally each spot and surf operator they recommend (wtether it is a guest house or a resort or a boat).

Trip of a lifetime. First and foremost I'd like to thank James Colston from Awave Travel, for assisting me in every which way to help book one of the most memorable experiences I've had in my life. He was extremely responsive and answered every single question I had, even the dumb ones haha. As for AYADA, holy dooly, that place is paradise! Absolutely breathtaking, I couldn't believe I was actually walking around such a beautiful island! Big love to the staff at Magu Restaurant, seeing as how I ate there pretty much everyday, they were amazing! Very switched on and quick off the mark to help with anything that was needed. A special mention to Dhaboa and the captain who took me out surfing! I cannot speak highly enough about their friendly, helpful and straight up on point expertise. With Dhaboa picking the spots to surf and tips on where to sit to catch the best waves on the day, to the wonderful captain himself, filming and sending me videos of the waves I caught.
Absolute legends! Made my surf trip! Best holiday I've ever been on to this date.

Reliable travel agency to book a surf trip - Both Giulia and James were very reactive and adivsed on the best options. In our case we made a boat trip in Maldives. It is the second time we use Awave Travel to do a surftrip to Maldives and we have had a very good experience in both cases. They are a reliable and trustworthy travel agency, I highly recommend them.
