NGor Island Surf Camp

been there for over a week last November. the host Pierre and his staff are next level. super friendly, professionals, passionate and helpful. they have a wide range of boards you can rent at bargain and a little surf shop for the customers with wax, leash, boots if you wanna avoid bringing your own. The surf lodge offers surf trips daily to different spots for every levels. main surf spots are walking distance. Highly recommended

It brillant how everyone is there for the thing and welcomes everyone! Located in a cool local building, the surf camp is efficiently run by and for surfers . Several trips to different spots everyday. The island is tiny and pedestrian and all electricity comes from solar panels. Surfer's paradise.

I have recently come home from 6 weeks staying at the Surf Camp. The camp is run by the lovely Pierre, who has created such a magical place and who seems to be constantly improving the camp! A massive thank you to Pierre, Adama, Ngalla Alassanne, Mangrove, King Charles, Captain Finn, Eliot, Mustafa and Mami (and anyone else I have forgotten). The team organised multiple daily trips to different surf spots, were always on hand to answer questions and give advice. The organisation was taken care out and you then had the freedom join the options given or do as you wish. It was fun getting joint car/boat rides to surf spots and surfing within the group. There were also trips organised a couple hours south when I was there as the swell was right for the spot, absolutely loved Pierre de Lisse… Was such an awesome day trip bonus for it to be included within the camp at no additional price. Really recommend going on that trip if the option comes up! The surf lessons were fantastic, I am an intermediate surfer and was very impressed from the lessons. Both instructors were great! I mostly was taught by Adama who was really reassuring, patient and I felt super safe in the water with him. Both instructors also were frothing in the surf which made it really fun! I really enjoyed the option for surf theory by Pierre too as well as seeing drone footage to enable improvement. There is also sometimes a photographer hired sometimes…. These were an awesome additional. You can purchase the drone footage/photos after if you wish. Food was great (they catered to me being vegan) and food was delicious and plentiful! Brekkie was simple but good! Bring your own re-useable water bottle as they have free filtered water at the camp. I stayed in the female door room, the dorm rooms range from I believe 6 beds to rooms with 3 or just 2. I was lucky enough to get a room for just two people and enjoyed the social aspect of the dorm style room and it was cleaned daily and was basic but great. The camp itself seems to attract really great guests, everyone was laid back and it was a great chilled atmosphere with people hanging out around the pool, a group of people “working from home” and tanning and workout/yoga space on the rooftop that overlooks the ocean! The rooftop is private and has good quality yoga matts! During times of low or no swell there is a fabric market you can go to, dessert trip, safari, trip to Goree Island and a few others. Pierre also has a projector and puts on cinema nights occasionally which were pretty awesome by the pool! During dinner drone footage is sometimes shown of the days surfing. The camp also has some really great books to use! There are also some fancy places to visit if you want a bit of luxury whilst you are there, check out Boma Hotel and Share Des Mamelles. There are also some great places to party….the dancing and music is pretty extraordinary! As a solo female traveler, I felt super safe the whole time. I enjoyed the relaxed,

This place has a way of making you feel welcome and part of the group from day one! The accommodations are true to what's descibed on the website and the view from the individual bedrooms is terrific (I asked to see the dorms and they're cool too) . Every evening, you're being explained what the waves on all the spots are expected to be tomorrow and several trips are organised (all levels). You take your pick! Ha! Nearly forgot: the food is Great !!!
