✺ women-only group trips
Balanced weeks of surf, sweat, sunsets and sisterhood. Not a bachelorette. Not a silent retreat. The balanced middle where you sweat, laugh, cry once at sunset, and fly home with a group chat that never shuts up.
★★★★★ 5.0 from 300+ Google reviews of SYBThe name is the whole philosophy. Three words, three truths, one very good week.
Risk, salt, adrenaline. The part of you that says yes first and googles later. We feed her daily: waves, workouts, boats, jungle gyms, volcano views. Coached and scaled for every level, because it is about showing up, not being the fittest person there.
A sunset flow on a deck above the Pacific, and the reminder that this life is short, sweet and absolutely worth a plane ticket. Stretchy, not preachy. Presence over performance. Crying at golden hour is allowed and, frankly, encouraged.
Our chance to enjoy it all and not take it too seriously. The toast at sunset, the theme night, the group chat that renames itself by day two. Most women arrive solo. None leave that way.

“I did their signature Nicaragua trip with them as a solo female traveler. I was nervous since I haven’t travelled solo before … This trip was exactly what I was looking for: social and active!”
“Everyone in our group ended up standing up on their surf board on day one, including me.”
“If you’re even slightly hesitant about going on a trip with strangers—just dive in. … I literally booked another SYB trip mid-trip (yes, really)!”
“If you’re on the fence because of the cost or because taking time off work feels impossible, let me save you some time: future you is already rolling their eyes. Book the trip.”
“Such awesome vibes- workouts, great food and surfing. … nothing is as legit as SYB.”
“Stunning villa, incredible location, delicious food, savage (but super fun) workouts and truly wonderful people.”

And unlike most of the industry, nothing here is outsourced. We build our own trips from the ground up: our chef, our coaches, our leaders, our home base. Here's exactly how that's different.
