Location

Approx. 1hr South of Papeete on Tahiti island. Between Vairao left (big pass) and Teava iti right (small pass), 5 minutes boat trip from each. Approx. 20minutes to Teahupoo.

Anakena Surf Camp is a Tahitian managed surf camp located on the waterfront inside the lagoon approximately 70km south of Papeete on "Tahiti Iti" (the smaller half of the main island of Tahiti). The camp is only 5 minutes by boat from Vairao lefthander (Big Passe) and Te Ava Iti righthander (Small Passe) for ultra-convenient access to the lineups! The surf tour includes 2 sessions per day by boat with experienced and highly respected Tahitian Captain and Surf guide Timothee (one of the original locals to surf Teahupoo). These waves are perfect reef passes which offer down the line surfing, with deep bowls and plenty of tubes on the right conditions. The reefs offer excellent surfing for mere mortals and working class surfers just looking for a fun surf trip with nothing to prove.

The Surf

The camp is only 5 minutes by boat from Vairao lefthander (Big Passe) and Te Ava Iti righthander (Small Passe) for ultra-convenient access to the lineups! The surf tour includes 2 sessions per day by boat with experienced and highly respected Tahitian Captain and Surf guide Timothee (one of the original locals to surf Teahupoo). These waves are perfect reef passes which offer down the line surfing, with deep bowls and plenty of tubes on the right conditions.

For experts, we can offer trips to Teahupoo (one included per week and $30 gas surcharge for each additional trip).

For beginners, we can offer at least 2 spots: Teava ino, is a false pass just before Teahupoo from the camp which is perfect for beginners when it is small. There is a wave here which breaks in the middle of the pass with deep water and works at 3 feet or under. The Teahupoo rivermouth is another good beginners option which works when Teahupoo is around 8feet or bigger.
