Sustainability

Conciousness

Safari Surf hires and trains local staff & surf instructors only.

Sustainability

S.T.O.K.E.

It’s our responsibility to protect the local environment and keep it intact for our future generations.

Having the fortunate opportunity to share our love for surfing with people from all around the world, in the most beautiful place in the world, is what motivates us to protect, as well as, enhance the local environment and community that make Safari Surf School so special.

That is why we strive to be the most sustainable surf school and surf hotel in the world. Safari Surf will be taking its sustainable practices to new heights with the opening of its new LEED Certified headquarters called Olas Verdes Resort which opens in 2015.

Partnership with Refuge for Widlife

Safari Surf felt so strongly that the work this group was doing was so vital 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!
