I realise this is the kitesurfing forum, but figure many of you surf, and much more traffic here than on the surfing forum ...
Limited options out of the West Coast I know, but ...
Any ideas/suggestions for a surfing holiday with wife and small kids (ie., inc baby)
As I have already had my trip to Indo, needs to suit the following enforced criteria:
- not too far
- cheap
- good hotel/resort
- shopping (or I am guessing that is a requirement
)
I know that Bali fits the bill, but wife not keen to go there ...
Cheers
Hey There,
Check around for some specials to Hudhuranfushi in the maldives. A little bit more expensive than bali but perfect for familys and very nice. Went there about 4 yrs ago with my partner and she reckons its one of the best holidays shes been on. I got to surf averyday with no complaints.
You can surf outfront with a big deck for the family to relax and watch. They have boats that go out to other breaks a few times a day for about 3 hrs as well. A great sandy lagoon on otherside of island for swimming.
Is a bit more but im sure the missus will love it.
Thanks for response.
Already booked in for Pasta Point for next year
Chasing something a bit cheaper for this year !
Sri Lanka is a good option. I just went there with the girl and she loved it. I'm pretty sure you can pick up return flights for mid $700 from perth. Beachside accom from under $10aus with better deals out of euro holidays. Head to Aragum Bay or Unawatuna (waves at either depending on time of year). I just use a private driver or tuk tuk to get around. 
I just got back from a holiday on Plantation Island in Fiji, not too expensive, heaps for the wife and kids to do, and Wilkes passage and Cloud break only a short boat ride away every day. There was no aggro there at all, everyone was really chilled out, We got chased off Cloudbreak though, well not really, just asked to move on after a couple of hours by a big guy on a jetski.
In the afternoon the trades came up and there is some great kiting to be done on a sandbar bout one kilometer in front of the resort,gotta love Fiji.
Friend of mine is going on a surfing holiday to Lombok (Indo) with his wife. Good waves, cheap, check it out.
