Come meet in real life

Not on a dating app. Singles only group trips built around a week of surfing, workouts, boat days and long dinners with people who are into the same things you are.

★★★★★ 5.0 on Google300+ reviewsRunning trips since 2014

Dating apps are overrated

Swiping tells you what someone looks like. A week of doing things together tells you who they actually are.

Come for the trip

You do not have to show up looking for a partner. Come for the surf and the crew, like any other SYB trip.

The trip is the filter

Booking this says you are adventurous, active and curious. That beats a bio and a photo carousel.

Not a hookup trip

Real connections only. No games, no pressure, no weirdness. Just a very good week with good people.

Two singles trips

Everyone on board booked solo. Pick your week, we handle the rest.

What people say

Real Google reviews, mostly from people who booked on their own.

★★★★★

"A++ Surfing, Yoging, Beering, new friends, and good vibes! The welcoming and inclusive environment made it easy from the moment I arrived. About 90% of the group arrived solo, all with the same mindset, looking to make new friends and be part of a like-minded community. Our group gelled right away and participated in every activity together."

Google review · SYB Nicaragua

★★★★★

"SYB Nicaragua was one of the most fun trips of my life. It was EXACTLY what I was looking for in a solo adventure. I arrived solo and left with several new good friends, a bit of color, and a lot of peace of mind. My phone barely left my room for 5 days, giving me a much-needed chance to unplug."

"As a woman, traveling internationally can be scary, but not with SurfYogaBeer! This was my first time traveling internationally, and I felt so welcomed by all the leaders who greeted me with a warm smile and a nice cold beer, of course! I fell in love with the experience of meeting like-minded people who share the same interests."

"SYB is the best around for group travel. I attended one of their trips in Nicaragua, and they nailed everything. From the vibes to planning every detail, the team had it under control. They also encourage everyone to be very social and active, which is a nice change from other, more travel or sightseeing-focused companies!"

Beth and Duncan, who met on a SurfYogaBeer trip in Nicaragua, on their wedding day

And yes, it happens

Beth and Duncan met on our Nicaragua trip and got married three years later. Nice bonus, not the pitch. Most people just leave with a group chat that never dies.

Fair questions

The ones everyone emails us before they book.

👤Is everyone on the trip single?
On these two departures, yes. They are sold as singles only, so we are not putting couples on them. Every other SYB trip is a mix, though most people still book solo.
💙Do I have to be looking for a relationship?
Not at all. Plenty of people book because they want a great active week with like-minded people and nothing more. Nobody is keeping score.
🎂How old is everyone?
Mostly late twenties through early forties, with plenty of people in their fifties. The common thread is mindset, not age.
😴Where do I sleep?
Rooms are shared by default and you are paired with someone of the same gender unless you ask otherwise. Private upgrades exist on most trips but inventory is limited, so ask early.
🏄Do I need to be fit, or know how to surf?
No and no. All levels welcome, workouts are encouraged and never required, and surf lessons start from complete beginner.
💳What does it cost to hold a spot?
Typically a 20% deposit, and it goes toward the trip total. The balance is due 6 weeks before departure. Booking inside 6 weeks means paying in full at checkout.
📱What if my plans change?
All payments are non-refundable. Cancel more than 45 days out and we issue a one-time trip credit good for 12 months. Inside 45 days it is non-refundable and non-transferable. Travel and medical insurance is required.
✈️Are flights included?
No, you book your own flights. Everything on the ground is handled: accommodation, most meals, activities, coaching and your leaders.
