If you’re looking to “get away from it all” - have we got the place for you!
Caroline Islands are often described as like Tahiti or Hawaii without the development.  They are located southwest of Hawaii and northeast of Australia. The island we are pioneering for surf has a population of only 8000 people, and receives only about 100 – 150 international tourists per year!  Talk about the “last frontier”!

There are three distinct geographic features - mountains, jungle, and mangrove forests. Mountains are steep and rugged, and are covered by dense tropical vegetation. Several mountain peaks rise over 2000 feet above sea level, and account for about 70% of the land area. In the mountains you can find cascading waterfalls, cool rivers, and rarely visited hiking trails.

The temperature is quite uniform year round: hot, wet, and humid. The dry season is between May and October, and wet season from November to April.
The average annual temperature is 28 degrees with only minor seasonal variation.  Rainfall is plentiful and averages 180 inches a year on the east coast and more than 250 inches in the west. Although humidity is usually high, the even temperature and fresh sea breezes mean conditions are never too stuffy. Trade winds blow predominantly from the northeast and most consistent time for surf travel is between October and March.  NE, N, and NW swells hit from out of Japan/North Pacific, similar to Hawaii.  

You want to get away from the crowds – you won’t find anywhere better than here!
Our surf guide, Matt, is one of only 2 surfers that currently live permanently on the island, although he is trying to teach and encourage the local kids.
The best news is the number of visiting surfers is limited to only 12 at any one time by a surf permit system to avoid crowding on the breaks, but we are limiting our surf tour packages to maximum 6-8 surfers to make the crowd factor even more attractive!
Where else in the world can you find this!?!
Matt has a BA degree in International relations and has lived on the island since 2000. 
He grew up in Hawaii and has been surfing for 15 years.  Matt has traveled extensively for looking for great surf, California, Baja, Fiji, Tonga, Marshall Islands, Caroline Islands, Guam, Australia, New Zealand, India, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
