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 you’re not at the villas, you’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.

I've used Awave twice ... so far. This is the second time I've used Awave for a trip to the maldives. Stayed in 2 different resorts this time. They've always been incredibly prompt at replying and handled everything for us, making sure the 2 Resorts were in touch to get us transfered half way through our trip. At one of the resorts I even bumped into Giulia and Delia who were out there surfing at the time. There's no doubt in my mind that I'll use awave again if I'm booking a surf trip

Indonesia Surf Trip/ Java/Bali/Sumba - James Colston was my representative from AWAVE - I’m an older solo surfer and James was attentive, respectful, extremely responsive from the initial planning stages all the way through the booking. And he was so patient with all my crazy questions along the way. I couldn’t have been more pleased with James’s level of service. Thank you James

Giulia was an amazing person to book with. I was overwhelmed with choices initially, but AWAVE knew their stuff and helped me with my options and even suggested delaying my trip so I could go to a certain hotel which ended up being the best decision I made all year.

Giulia and James were always on line to answer any question or to give an advice. The Ayada resort is perfect both for families or for couples. We did not have waves as the season goes from April to September, but there are plenty options to have fun and good times. Highly recommended both Awave and Ayada.

The AWAVE team are knowledgable and helpful. Giulia is a very helpful and patient person to deal with, and do not worry, you can trust her. I had to delay my trip to Morocco due to unforeseen circumstances and Giulia was very understanding. I have just returned from having a fantastic week at Amouage in Taghazout. Thanks AWAVE!

Awesome holiday to Hudhuranfushi. Giulia was very helpful and quick to respond and overall we were very impressed with Awave Travel.
Lohi's is a private, on site, awesome left hander that just kept giving. Also had options of 2 daily surf boat trips that went to other local breaks such as Sultans, Ninja's, Cokes, Jails. The surf team are amazing and we scored great waves the whole time we were there.
Stayed in a Sunset family beach villa which was perfect for a family of 4, then upgraded for the last 3 nights to Ocean Villas, both great for different reasons!
Island staff are so helpful and welcoming, and there's a good variety of food options available. Lots of other things to do such as paddleboarding, jet ski-ing, spa treatments, yoga and amazing snorkelling - with sharks, turtles and rays! We also hired bikes to get around and do morning surf checks!
An amazing trip, thank you Awave and Hudhuranfushi!

We had an amazing time on the Mentawai islands booked through Awave Travel.
Giulia was very helpful and available at all times during the booking process. And we had the best time on the Mentawais on the Maki Boat. The staff were amazing. Raul the surf guide was very helpful, friendly and coached us on the waves. Kaique the photographer produced top quality pictures and videos from the water, boat and drone.
Overall very happy and would highly recommend it.

We charted Seafarer for a 10 day trip in the Maldives. We booked with AWAVE about 12 months before. James was super helpful, really responsive and just easy to deal with. We even made a very last minute change to go to the central atolls which he arranged pretty much straight away. The trip itself was unreal, great surf, amazing wildlife and scenery. If you’re thinking about a surf charter, do it and book through these guys!
