A perfect start for your first Surf and Sri Lanka Holiday
A big thank you goes to Romy, Mia, and the entire crew, from the surf instructors to the kitchen staff, and of course the three dogs !!! It was the perfect end to my four-week trip to Sri Lanka! The best surfing lessons I had on the island, especially as a beginner, the one-on-one sessions with amazing feedback and attention to detail. After surfing, there was a delicious breakfast (doesn't matter what you will choose), all lovingly handmade. Yoga in the afternoon with Mara rounded off the day! Also I am an absolute Yoga Beginner and it was a perfect start. I stayed at the dorm in the wooden house and I was super clean, you can find small lockers size of a notebook and 2 fans. I enjoyed the shower at the outdoor bathroom. Mia and Romy also organize many other activities for their guests, such as massages, cooking with a local family, trips to the nearby waterfall, and much more. In addition, many activities are also offered for people who are not staying here, such as a weekly sound bath, paint your own Sri Lankan mask, and the daily yoga lesson is also open to everyone. Mia and Romy have created a gem here, with a great concept, amazing crew, and definitely the most relaxed place in Hikka. Don't miss it!

Fun Fun and Great Fun!
Me and 2 friends stayed 4 days in the camp and had a great time! Mia and Romy are super welcoming and the camp is comfortable and cozy! It really gives a vibe a community and makes you feel like already there for weeks. The surf classes are very good as customized for you and really a 1-1 experience. Romy also helped with organizing other activities in the town for us such as temple/musuem tour, massages, local dinner sound healing. Another plus is the tasty breakfast options. Hope I can join another time!

One week in the Hippy Surf Camp in Hikkaduwa
The Hippy Surf Camp in Hikkaduwa is an absolute gem and what truly sets it apart is the exceptional kindness of its hosts, Romy and Mia. Their genuine warmth and care create an inviting atmosphere that instantly feels like home. Every moment at this camp is infused with their genuine hospitality. It's not just a place to stay; it's an experience of heartfelt connection and unforgettable memories. The instructors are super friendly and encouraging. I recommend this heaven place to people who like to "eat, surf and chill" in a cosy and relaxing accommodation. The price is more than OK and they even arrange us a tour for the week after. Unforgettable experience ! ( PS: breakfasts are delicious :) )
Response from the operator: Thanks for taking the time to leave us a lovely review! We're so glad to hear you had a great time staying with us and that surfing with us is 'the perfect way to learn to surf!' Keep surfing! We hope to see you again next time you are in Sri Lanka. A big hug from the Hippy Surfcamp.

Surf's Up
Loved our experience at Hippie Surf School. Mia and his team are a very patient lot. Wave aftter wave, they took the time to get our technique correct. Even arranged for us to travel to a beginner friendly beach for practice at no additional cost. Jonty is an exceptional trainer. Definitely worth going with them if you're around and want to learn swimming.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the feedback and we are stoked to hear that you had such a great surfing experience with Hippie Surf Team. We truly appreciate your feedback on your experience with Hippie Surf Team as we always wanted to give the best surfing experience for our students. Looking forward to seeing you next year :) Keep surfing in the meantime!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hikkaduwa.
How much does 1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests cost?
+
Prices start at $1,256 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hikkaduwa usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests take?
+
Plan for about 168 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hikkaduwa is not rushed.
Is 1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 70 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Hikkaduwa, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 168-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hikkaduwa can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hikkaduwa and add a light layer if any part of the 168-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hikkaduwa within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hikkaduwa?
+
On Outty we rank every Hikkaduwa experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Most Recommended Round Tour in Sri Lanka, Kayaking Adventure on serene waters through mangroves, Akurala, 7 Days Private Sri Lanka Tour With 4 Star Hotels, Safari & Ella. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hikkaduwa?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hikkaduwa?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests?
+
Included: BBQ night; 6 night accommodation in shared wooden dorm; 6× Breakfast; Movie night; and 6× Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does 1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 34 listed pickup locations in and around Hikkaduwa. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is 1 Week Surf Package (shared wooden dorm) - up to 4 guests offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Russian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
