WHY CHOOSE WILD&FREE?
"Having time in the water with a surfer as talented as Alan Stokes is an incredible experience. Being taught theory as well as the practical really advanced my surfing ability and knowledge.
Video analysis really works and helps you break those bad habits and progress quicker. I'd highly recommend coaching with Alan...it is a rare opportunity to learn from a pro!". - Joe

What are the arrival and departure times? Can I drop my bags off early?This varies from venue to venue, but typically arrival is between 5-6 pm and departure at 9 am. During coronavirus, we are unable to take early arrivals and bag drop-offs, and the departure time is to be adhered to, as we need to allow and respect the time needed for the wonderful cleaning team to get in and make all venues covid safe.

I do not have my own transport. Can I get to you by Public Transport?All our retreats and adventures are in accessible locations and can be reached by public transport. So, get in touch about the retreat or adventure you are looking to attend, and we can help you with this! If you would like to share a taxi with someone from a train station, in most cases there are usually a couple of people using public transport, so we can connect you to make those arrangements together and share costs.

We ask everyone for any dietary requirements upon booking and check again the week leading up to the retreat and things change! We even ask what your milk preferences are. It is important to us that you feel fully catered for and this is the beauty of having a private chef on our retreats!
