It was great to ride the waves so many times! - It was our second time surfing, and we had so much fun being able to be on the board so many times! The instructor taught me very carefully, so even beginners could enjoy it with peace of mind. At the end, I lost my strength and couldn't get out to the ocean, so it was over. It was fun to surf to the limit!! I would love to participate again. Thank you very much.

Perfect Solo Surf Trip in Arugam Bay – Thanks to Danny! - I had an amazing solo travel experience with Surf & Stay Arugam Bay. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The accommodation was clean, relaxing, and conveniently located close to the surf spots. A special thanks to Danny, my surf instructor, who made this trip truly unforgettable. His patience, professionalism, and local knowledge helped me improve my surfing skills and gain confidence in the water. Whether you're a complete beginner or looking to take your surfing to the next level, Danny is an excellent instructor who adapts lessons to your ability and makes learning fun. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the friendly atmosphere and the opportunity to meet other travelers while still enjoying my own adventure. The combination of great accommodation, quality surf lessons, and outstanding hospitality made this one of the best travel experiences I've had.

Danny Made My First Surf Lesson Unforgettable! - I had my very first surf lesson and couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment I contacted the surf school via WhatsApp, Danny responded quickly and made the booking process smooth and easy. We met at the hostel first, which turned out to be a great idea since we could practice the basics and dry-land exercises in the shade before heading to the beach. Our small group of three beginners then walked just a short distance to the surf spot. Danny was an outstanding instructor—patient, professional, encouraging, and always focused on helping us improve while having fun. His colleague was equally friendly and supportive, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere throughout the lesson. As complete beginners, we felt comfortable and confident in the water thanks to their guidance. A fantastic introduction to surfing, and I would highly recommend Danny and his team to anyone looking to learn. If you are looking professional on the business try, Danny.

Unforgettable experience – thank you, Surf and Stay Aru Gambay! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - The waves at Aru Gambay were perfect for learning – warm water, beautiful scenery, and just the right amount of push to help me stand up on my first try! I felt safe and supported the whole time, and the stoke of catching my first wave is something I’ll never forget. Big thanks to the whole team for making this such a special memory. If you're looking for a place to learn how to surf (or just want to spend an incredible day on the water), I can’t recommend Surf and Stay enough. See you next time, AruGam bay! – Lana 🌊🏄‍♀️
