The ultimate luxury will be to dispose your group of surfers toward world-class waves. A scarce in these times of surfing democratization.
While this is the description of a typical Surfing trip, actual trips may vary due to wind and sea conditions, weather or guests preference

With its dockers equipped with hooks that serve to unload the copra bags from the trucks, its gemstones cutters and its population who greets with their regular « Mister », Tobelo is totally unique. Overnight sailing of 16 hours to the Buli Bay.

Day 3
Buho-Buho
The Buho-Buho village where surfing has been taken the most by the local population. The little wave facing the village and accessible even for the kids might certainly be for something. They surf it, most of them with a simple wooden plank. A small community of local surfers made a friendly strong bond with surfing boats and they love to come on board pay a visit. Great ambiance guaranteed! The boat will anchor as close to the wave as possible to spend the day on this left. Overnight sailing to Bere-Bere.

Day 4
Bere-Bere
We will arrive at dawn to the spots close to Bere-Bere village. Several waves are available for our surfers. The one in Pulau Kecil, in North of this little island lined with coconut trees and the one at the western point that you could name however you like. Undoubtedly the wave with the biggest potential in the area… A good anchorage is there to allow us to spend a peaceful night.

Day 5
Bere-Bere
A second day won’t be too much in this beautiful area. Departure around 1am to the Sopi bay.
[/x_slide][x_slide]
Day 6
Teluk Sopi
This bay, exposed North, receives the biggest swell of the area but some wind too. It’s not always possible to surf in good conditions with an offshore wind but when it is, the magic happens. The left of Serenade is certainly the best in the neighborhood. In case of big swell or onshore wind, a right close to the jetty is a good option. According to the weather conditions, we will spend the night at the anchor inside the bay. Relatively exposed to the swell, it’s often preferable to carry on our route to Rau island for the night.

Day 7
Rau
The right of Posi-Posi is incredible and surely the best spot in case of strong wind oriented North/North West. Located in front of the most beautiful beach of the region, this wave will thrill everybody. The atmosphere is exceptional thanks to the very welcoming villagers and the possible excursion on the coast. We set sails at the end of the night to Doi island for 3 or 4 hours of navigation.

Day 8
Pulau Loloda Utara
Located in the north West of Halmahera island, the archipel of Loloda Utara is stunning. Consist of 4 islands: Doi, Tuakara, Dagasuli and Salangdek, those spots have a big surfing potential as well. We will focus our time around the Doi island. Anchorage at night in a protected bay in the south of the island. Departure at 3am to arrive at dawn to Dana island.
[/x_slide][x_slide]
Day 9
Pulau Dana
This little deserted island lined with white sandy beaches and coconut trees is absolutely sublime. Pristine waters where a healthy reef can be seen under the surf boards. Although it takes less swell than the Morotai coasts, this left is really nice to surf.

Day 10
Teluk Loloda
Hosting a fisherman company, the Loloda bay is protected by the islands of Kahatola and Adui, offering perfect anchorages. However, the swell gets in the bay and wind along a shoal between the two islands. The surroundings are splendid and a waterfall is falling from the Kahatola cliffs directly to the see. A small and protected lagoon is perfect for a swim. Overnight sailing to Ternate.
