What Our Travelers Say
Hear from the amazing surfers who’ve joined our adventures around the world
“I went to Chicama, Peru with Swell Adventures and had the absolute best time. Being the only American, I felt SO welcomed and loved. Not only did my backside surfing improve so much (in just a week), I laughed so hard and made some incredible friends that I can’t wait to surf with again. I can’t recommend Suzanne and Lucas enough!”

Peru Surf Trip
“The Chicama trip was absolutely incredible! I’ve only been surfing for a year, and visiting Chicama has always been a dream. Thanks to Swell Adventures, I got to live that dream and level up my surfing, too. Lucas was outstanding every single day; he walked me through everything with patience and expertise, showing me exactly where I needed to improve. I’m thrilled with my progress since the trip and already counting down to the next one!”

Peru Surf Trip
“I landed in Brazil thinking I already “knew how to surf,” but our local instructor Lucas served up a quick reality check😅.
I met the most brilliant people, the kind you see once and feel you’ve known forever.
And yes, I have to shout out Su 💚. Guide, guardian angel, and maybe even a local demigoddess. She showed us what real surfing looks like, took us to spots you won’t find on Google Maps, and made us feel like we were starring in a telenovela with a happy ending.”
