I stayed at Bodhi in April 2022 for my birthday. It was an unforgettable experience. We had Anki for yoga, Spencer for surf, and Adrianne running the show. Anki was wonderfully mindfulness in offering a practice that met the skill level of the group and progressed complimentary to our surf schedule. Spencer was great, especially with the on-land lessons. The figure 4 pop up is a game changer for me! Adrianne held it down with a full (+) group while making it all look easy and having a sense of humor. BIG props to Fanny and George for the food! Those were some of the best vegetarian/vegan meals I’ve ever had! I’m glad that mid-way through we had some flexibility in timing and surf location depending on where it was calmest. We were there during Semana Santa (Holy Week) and storm swells. Only constructive things to note is that it would have been nice to meet Travis and Pilar who were away that week, it would have also been nice to mix it up and have surf first thing in the morning and then sunset yoga (I’m a surf before breakfast kinda guy 🤙🏽). It’s also worth noting the property is about a 20 min walk to the beach and and main restaurant area in case you are traveling with kids. Other than that, I love everything Bodhi stands for, especially sustainability and community. I would highly recommend a visit and hope to be back again someday soon!

This place walks the walk in terms of sustainability and commitment to community and nature. I did the 5 day surf/yoga retreat, and it was amazing to spend so much time with the founders of the company. I felt like I really got to know the place and the people around. They are clearly well respected by their neighbors, too. The surf and yoga instruction were brilliant, and I feel like I'm leaving with a new tool belt from which to pull. I can see why people come back!!

I had a great experience with Bodhi! I am a teacher at an outdoor adventure focused middle school. Bodhi provided a surf lesson for our students during a recent Costa Rica trip. The lesson was so good that my fellow teachers and I scheduled another private lesson on our day off. It was simply outstanding. They provided a great progression and overall explanation of how to surf and approach the ocean. As an outdoor educator myself, I was really impressed with their entire approach to teaching. It was a joy to be learning from such passionate surf educators.

Travis and his team are among the best of the best. As Executive Director of an outdoor-based middle school and a current professional whitewater and ski instructor, I appreciate the emphasis on safety and the skills-based approach of Bodhi Surf versus the standard "let's just have fun" approach of many other surf schools I have experienced. The process is the point with Bodhi Surf and every step of the journey has been fantastic for over ten years now. Whether it is connecting kids to their choices and impact on our delicate ecosystems or refining the art of proper stance when initiating a turn, Bodhi Surf consistently sets the standard for all others.

If you want to have a special experience I highly recommend Bodhi. I have returned 3 times to feel the Bodhi spirit, to have the best surf instructions, wonderful yoga lessons, great food and meet the fantastic Bodhi team. I can’t wait to return.

Bodhi is my happy place! I highly highly recommend it. The accommodations are comfortable and make you feel right at home, the staff is warm and friendly, the yoga is grounded and intentional, and the surfing is exhilarating! I went for the first time having never surfed and knowing nothing about it and felt confident at every step of the way. When I returned for another session two years later, I kept working at my own pace. You can be you, relax, and do wonderful new things at Bodhi--it's a perfect vacation.

This was my second time visiting Bodhi, and I still love it completely! Just the best surf lessons you can find, wonderful yoga, and a deep and beautiful connection to the place and the ocean. I feel so at home, so welcomed, and so peaceful each time I go. The way they've set things up is totally nourishing. It feels like being with family. Each day you're there, you do a long yoga session, during which I always learn so much. You'll also get in a surf session, which let me tell you is A+ instruction. You will learn to deeply understand surfing and the ocean, not just get the basics and then a push to catch each wave. You'll start to learn to really surf on your own. They also do body surfing which is a great way to feel even more confident in the waves. On Wednesdays you have a free day, during which time you can elect to do a massage (which is wonderful after Sunday - Tuesday of Yoga and Surfing!). The food at Bodhi is always healthy and delicious. Also, nearby there is a farmers market on Weds and Saturdays, which is a nice spot to get some healthy food. And there's a corner store down the road, as well as a big grocery store not far.

an INCREDIBLE experience, couldn't recommend it enough. Travis, Adrianne and the whole Bodhi team are exceptional people that will support you in your journey through Surfing, Yoga and mindful travelling. Thank you again for an unforgettable week!

We enjoyed a weeklong Family Surf camp this July. All 5 of us (ages 47, 46, 15, 10, 9) had never surfed before, so this was an adventure! The staff at Bodhi was amazing, helping us navigate a significant flight delay and still making it in time for our first surf lesson. We enjoyed the delicious meals by Fanny, yoga with Anki, surf instruction by Louis & Gabby and meeting the other guests. The kids loved the waterfall excursion so much, that we had to take them back the next day during free time. If you want a unique getaway for your family or group of friends, you will be well cared for!

I went on a yoga retreat which was hosted by Bodhi Surf + Yoga at the beginning of September and it was everything I needed at that time and more. The whole atmosphere of the lodge is super relaxing and inviting, from cosy rooms to the quiet reading corner. And, of course, a yoga studio that is partially inside/outside space, so you can connect with nature better while mastering traditional yoga practice. The owners, Pilar and Travis, are incredibly helpful and accommodating with every need of yours that may arise to the point that it felt like I was a part of their family for the whole week. The food was AMAZING! Everything was almost plant-based and sourced from local ingredients, so you could feel how fresh and made with love the meals were. For anyone wondering if they should stay at Bodhi Surf + Yoga or if they should book one of their surfing/yoga camps, I'd say go for it! It was seriously one of the most life-changing experiences I had in a while 😊🌊
