The Idea

A kid shouldn't
shrink your world.

SurfYogaBeer spent ten years turning solo travelers into lifelong friends. Then a bunch of us had kids. So we built the version that brings them along. No FOMO, no martyrdom.

"I'm about to be a dad. I'm not about to disappear."

This is the trip I want to take with my own kid. Real adventure for the whole family, a crew of other families that gets it, and zero pressure to be a perfect parent. Just good people and salt water.

The first one runs in Nicaragua over New Year's, alongside the original SYB crew. Come be a founding family.

Surf

Lessons for nervous beginners up to kids on their first wave. Taken in shifts.

Yoga

Sunrise flows and baby-and-me sessions. Perspective, no woo-woo.

Baby

Family-inclusive programming built around the kids, with childcare available for the odd parent break.

Every Day

Move, surf,
eat well, repeat.

Morning workout

A beach sweat to kick the day off. Optional, never required.

Daily yoga

Sunrise flows and sunset stretches on the deck.

Surf lessons

Every day, all levels. You don't need to know how to surf. Even the kids get a lesson, or just splash around in the shallows.

Healthy meals

Fresh, health-conscious food, locally sourced whenever we can.

The Itinerary

Six nights,
family-style.

The rhythm that's turned strangers into family for a decade, rebuilt around nap windows, little legs, and a crew of other families.

Day
1

Touchdown

Land in Nicaragua and transfer to the villas. Shake off the flight with an ocean dip, meet the crew, and ease in over a welcome dinner. You meet the other families and everyone settles in.

Day
2

Surf & settle in

Morning movement and your first surf lesson, with family programming to keep the kids busy. Coconuts out of the water, a big breakfast, pool time, then a midday nap window. First theme dinner as the sun drops.

Day
3

Boat day

A private boat down the coast to a secret white-sand cove. Swim, snorkel, ceviche, and slow hours on the sand, with shade and extra hands on deck for the little ones.

Day
4

Town day & date night

Yoga, round-two surf, then into San Juan del Sur for shops and the hilltop views. Dinner's on your own in town tonight, and childcare's available any evening you want a proper parents' date night.

Day
5

New Year's Eve

A slower start, then beach games, surf, and sunset yoga on the deck. An all-white dinner by the water, a bonfire, and fireworks for the countdown, with childcare available so parents can ring it in.

Day
6

Fresh start

First morning of the year: gentle workouts, yoga, and saltwater therapy. A deep sunset flow, then a last-night feast and awards with your new crew.

Day
7

Until next time

Checkout and the van to Managua, so pick a flight after noon. New crew, new year, and a friendship that's only just getting started.

Who It's For

It's a mindset,
not a kid's age.

The Vibe

Parents who refuse to disappear

You're not ready to file your old life under "before kids." It just needs to flex around a stroller now.

No Experience Needed

First-time adventurers

Never done a trip like this? Perfect. No surfing, no Spanish, no figuring it out required.

Mom & Dad

Couples who want a breather

Trade off the surf, the nap, the odd night out. With childcare available, you both get the occasional time off.

Real Talk

Good questions.

Babies and kids from 0 to 6. Everything's designed around little ones: nap windows, early bedtimes, gear. Older kid? Apply anyway and tell us. We're listening to families as we grow.

You apply with your info and a little about your family, we reach out personally, and we hop on a friendly call. Once you're approved, you get a booking link, with checkout through SurfYogaBeer.com, the same trusted system behind every SYB trip.

$3,950 per room, up to four guests, so the price covers your whole family unit rather than charging per head. Need room for more than four? Tell us when you apply and we'll sort it. That covers six nights, family programming, surf, yoga, the boat day, four dinners, and most of the week (see the full included list above). For reference, the adult trip alongside starts from $2,750 per person.

Yes, and it's kind of the magic. The original SurfYogaBeer Nicaragua New Year's trip (Dec 27 to Jan 2, from $2,750 per person) runs the same week, same beach. Full-send for one, family pod for the other, midnight together.

Because booking runs through SurfYogaBeer.com, every standard SYB policy applies. 20% deposit reserves your room, balance due about six weeks out. Cancel more than 45 days out for a one-time 12-month trip credit; inside 45 days is non-refundable. Travel and medical insurance is required, easy to add at checkout.

It's where SYB has run trips for years. Warm, beginner-friendly surf and a team that knows the ground. We handle logistics, pick family-suitable stays, keep the pace gentle, and send a full prep pack before you fly.

Nope. Workouts are encouraged, never required, and the bar is optional. Some parents surf every session, some never leave the pool. Show up and find your balance.
