Common questions about this trip

• I've never surfed before — is this for beginners?

  100% yes. Mojo instructors teach total first-timers most days. Lessons split by ability so you'll be with people at your level. You'll be standing up by lesson 2 — almost everyone does.

• Do I need to be a strong swimmer?

  You need to be able to swim 50 metres unassisted. That's two laps of a standard pool. If you can do that, you're set. The water's chest-deep for the learner waves.

• Can I do more than 2 days?

  Yes — packages run 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 days. The longer you go, the cheaper per day. Most travellers do 3-5 days. Message us with your dates and we'll quote the longer options.

• Is the Arts Factory hostel actually good?

  It's iconic — teepees, yoga shala, on-site bar, pool, hammocks everywhere. Some love the hippie vibe, some find it too chill. If you'd rather a private room or a more polished hostel, we can swap you to YHA Byron Bay (extra cost, just ask).

• How do I get to Byron Bay in the first place?

  Fly to Ballina Byron Gateway Airport (15 min away) or Gold Coast (1 hr drive), then bus/shuttle to Byron. Or Greyhound from Sydney (12 hrs overnight, ~$75). We can lock in the connections — just ask.
