Partnership with Refuge for Widlife
Our team at Safari Surf believes in the work this group is doing, so much so that we decided to make a $50.00 donation for each Safari guest who books an all-inclusive surf package with us. This organization only works on donations and we at Safari Surf felt the need to dedicate our time and money to help this amazing cause!

While building our “LEED” certified Olas Verdes Resort, we were able to save 90% of all trees on our property.
