💬QUICK ANSWERS.

Does SYB run group trips over Thanksgiving?

Yes. In 2026 there are two, both at Playa Maderas in Nicaragua: November 21 to 26 and November 26 to December 1. Each one is 5 nights.

How much does a Thanksgiving trip cost?

From $1,950 per person in a shared room, or $2,650 for a private room with its own bathroom. Flights are extra. Book more than six weeks before the trip and a 20% deposit holds your spot, with the balance due six weeks before departure.

Can I come on my own?

Yes. Most people on these trips come solo, and the week is set up so you meet everyone on the first night.

Is there an actual Thanksgiving dinner?

Yes. The November 21 trip ends with a Friendsgiving dinner on its last night. The November 26 trip starts on Thanksgiving Day with a turkey dinner at the villas.

How many vacation days do I need?

Three for November 21 to 26: Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Two or three for November 26 to December 1, depending on whether your office is open the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Do I need to know how to surf?

No. Surf lessons are included and coached to your level, whether it is your first time on a board or your hundredth.

Which airport do I fly into?

Managua (MGA) is about a 2.5 hour drive with no border. Liberia in Costa Rica (LIR) is about 3 hours plus a land border crossing. Land by 2:00 PM on arrival day to catch the group shuttle, and book your flight home for 12:00 PM or later.

What happens if I have to cancel?

Cancel more than 45 days before the trip starts and everything you have paid becomes trip credit, good toward any SYB trip within 12 months. Inside 45 days, payments are non-refundable. Travel and medical insurance is required.
