Summer 2023 Checklist: Kayak, mountain bike, and cliff jump into the Adriatic Sea

Welcome to the undiscovered magical island of Lopud. Known for having the best beaches in the Dubrovnik region of Croatia, it’s the perfect setting for our nonstop days of adventure! You’ll be surrounded by people with the same energetic spirit as you, being super active during the day and hydrating in all ways at night. Every single day is something different from kayaking to neighboring islands, to snorkeling underwater caves, to mountain biking for secret lunch spots, to sailing on a pirate ship (see our Instagram for that unreal experience). Between our jam packed days, we'll also have moments on our own private beach club with full service so that you can make that bottle pop for your new best friends. By the end of the week, everyone on the island will know you, welcome to an Island Takeover!

OUR NEW HOME

OUR NEW HOME

After arriving in Dubrovnik, we’ll be taking the ferry to Lopud to check-in; expect snacks and champagne upon arrival! We can also set up private transport from the airport to the hotel.

We'll get to know each other and our amazing location, shake our bodies out with a little workout and enjoy a happy hour followed by dinner. Our DJ will get the party going, our private bartender will get you in dancing shape, and where this night takes you is your story. This is just day 1.

KAYAKING + BIKING

KAYAKING + BIKING

Get ready to experience SYB to its fullest. We begin with wake-up calls, more on this later, go straight into morning workouts, yoga cool down, a dip in the ocean to clean up, and a hearty breakfast, all before it's even 10am.

Today we kayak to the underwater caves to the island next door (about an hour). Then we'll bike between the villages of Suđurac and Šipanska Luka, where we will have lunch and take it the same way back. This is also the night we head into town for dinner, so bring your dancing shoes!

DUBROVNIK

DUBROVNIK

After our morning routine, we take you to beautiful and old Dubrovnik. Whether you're a history buff or G.O.T fan, our local guide has got you covered on today's walking tour. We break off from the group and have free time to shop and explore before meeting at a special restaurant overlooking the old stone walls. Round off your day with drinks soaking up the view, or fully immerse yourself with cliff jumping! Watch the sunset as we cruise back to our island home for dinner.

HIKE LOPUD

HIKE LOPUD

Discover the ruins of Lopud as we hike across the Island; if the hike doesn't take your breath away, the views certainly will when we reach Sutvrac Fortress. We'll run down to Sunj beach for some beach games and workouts, and if you're down, see if you can take on the 1000 abs challenge! We've put in the work; now it's time to play. Soak up the beach vibes and grab lunch. Recharge because tonight we hit the club!

We'll take our private boat to Dubrovnik for dinner, and then we go from working out in a fortress to partying in one! Hitting up Dubrovnik's hottest club!

SHIP DAY

SHIP DAY

We'll go through our morning routine and then head straight for our beautiful PIRATE SHIP, yes, not just a boat; this is a MF SHIP! We'll cruise through the islands and see the Dalmatian Coast the way it needs to be seen, from the water!

We finish our night with a beautiful dinner at our home.

SUNJ BEACH

SUNJ BEACH

Easy morning yoga because we know last night was crazy. Today we hike and explore our little island and the nearby Sunj beach. Known for its shallow waters that extend for hundreds of feet, we'll snorkel, kayak, lounge, and take it all in with 35 of your new best friends.

Mid-day, we'll have various workouts planned, optional runs, yoga workshops, and of course, beach bootcamps! What's better than having a drink once you've finished a tough sweat session!?

As the sun sets, we pull out the yoga mats and stretch out our sore bodies. We'll take the yoga practice to a deeper level (this is where the magic happens), followed by a sexy mellow dinner at home. We'll present SYB awards, share stories, and then party our asses off for our last night together!

BACK TO REALITY

BACK TO REALITY

Everyone will be checking out at 10am the latest!

Until next time... or until we throw our next party because this friendship just started!

Nothing like going to a foreign country for a week with 60 strangers to really push you out of your comfort zone 🙌🏼 Did some cool things and met even cooler people… so grateful for the crazy week I had with @surfyogabeer in Croatia. We laughed, we partied on boats, we got our assess kicked, but every second was magic ✨💪🏼🌊 Photo creds to the amazing @martin.straschnoy 📸 #sybcroatia

@jaimelathrop

The story of SYB is very simple; Surf is adventure, risk, adrenaline. Yoga is spirituality, a deeper perspective on the short amount of time we have on earth. And beer is our chance to enjoy and not take it too seriously. They don’t always surf or do yoga or even drink beer on every adventure but they do take equal parts of what these things stand for and make one hell of an experience! Best Trip Ever! @surfyogabeer Cant wait to plan my next one. Miss this crew

Loved day 2 of this #fitnessadventure in #Croatia with #surfyogabeer. Started the day with a 90 min bootcamp, 2 mile paddle to another island, 3 mile bike ride, lunch, then bike/paddle back to a night out with an incredible meal, karaoke and a few too many vodka pineapples...

GETTING THERE

Arrive to the Gruz Port on the north side of Dubrovnik at 1pm on August 27th. There you will be welcomed by the SYB crew and jump on the SYB boat transfer to our island! This means you can arrive anytime before 12pm to Dubrovnik International Airport DBV because it usually takes around 20-30 minutes by Uber to get to the port. 

NYC Friends: we recommend you take the August 26th nonstop United flight from Newark Liberty departing at 7:20pm and arriving August 27th 10:15am to Dubrovnik.

LEAVING

We'll set up our boat transfer straight to the old town port of Dubrovnik and from there you can grab an Uber or taxi to the airport. Our boat have you arriving by 9:30am so that you can be at the airport by 10am. 


*We also have a private shuttle service that can pick you up straight from the airport and take you directly to the island hotel for $140 up to 4 people. 

Lopud (an SYB favorite) is home to LaFodia Sea Resort. This 4-star hotel is pure luxury, with seaside views & nature surrounding us. It is truly a unique experience! 

LaFodia's private beaches gives us access to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Be ready to detox to retox!

As we begin this trip, we will meet in Dubrovnik and arrive at the city's only international airport, Čilipi Airport (DBV). 

Dubrovnik is rich in history and culture, stunning architecture and picturesque landscapes. We get explore the historical Old Town Dubrovnik and venture out onto the Adriatic Sea in kayaks to experience the iconic underground caves. 

Accessible by boat from Dubrovnik, Lopud, a small island off the coast of southern Croatia, is one of our favorite places. Lopud is known for its historic ruins located at the highest point of the island, and we will hike to explore the island's beauty. 

We even venture onto the Adriatic Sea to see the islands on the stunning Dalmatian Coast. But, we can't forget Croatia's exquisite pebble beaches that are unique to the region. 

After exploring the beautiful areas around Dubrovnik, we depart from DBV. 

These are all levels, so even if you have never done some of these we have a full team ready to make sure you try something new and have fun doing it! But of course they are all optional and we can always find ways to still enjoy Croatia to it's fullest! 


We have a day in Dubrovnik where we've set up two different style tours, one is a Game of Thrones tour which explores all filming that was done there with HBO and the other one is a historic tour of the city itself. 

A form that details your name, where you are staying, contact information. Easy, standard procedure at the airport, just make your life easier by completing before you arrive. 

After a late night, you may not want to wake up and join us for a workout, but we highly suggest it! Included in your trip, the boot camps and yoga sessions keep us energized - there is nothing better than waking up and sweating with your new friends! Our world-class trip leaders know how to start your day the best way, with a good workout to prime us for a day of adventuring. 

This experience is included in trip fees. 

No need to whip out your phone or camera at any point throughout this trip because we have got you covered. We will have a professional photographer and videographer joining us on this trip to capture every moment. These will be the best travel photos and videos you will ever get - you're friends better be ready for a photo dump out of their wildest dreams!!

We highly recommend you get travel and/or medical insurance. This is just for emergencies or unforeseen circumstances. 

Kuna is the currency of Croatia, but Euros are widely accepted in the region, as are USD (but Euros are preferred). 

Most credit and debit cards are accepted at most banks and hotels, and any non-franchised ATMs will not charge a transaction fee. 

ATMs are widely available throughout Dubrovnik, but we urge you to prepare and withdraw cash before the start of the trip!

We suggest bringing €300 to €400 to use at bars and a few of our dinners, but otherwise, we've got you covered! The average drink prices range from 14 to 24 Kuna, €6 or $8. 

Part of the SYB lifestyle is enjoying fresh and local cuisines. Croatian cuisine takes influences from the Mediterranean, with seafood and fresh produce but also integrates simple strudels and schnitzels of Eastern Europe. 

"Black Risotto," aka cuttlefish risotto, is a must-try! With its unique black color, this Croatian delicacy is common on the coast. 

We get to have a few dinners at local restaurants, so get excited to explore local areas & indulge in the cuisines and culture!

Tap water in Croatia is excellent - some of the best in the world! We are perfectly safe to drink from the taps. However, if you leave Dubrovnik, try filtered or bottled water to be safe, as smaller townships have fewer regulations on their water. 

Croatia is one of the safest countries in the world! The only significant risks we may experience are pickpockets or scammers in touristy areas. 

Our accommodations will have safes for us to leave our valuables in, and we suggest leaving all important items in the safe while we are out exploring - but maybe keep your Yeezys and nice jewelry at home!
