3-Day Weekend Surf Camp Cimaja: Experience the Best Surfing from Jakarta.

Surfing is only the beginning.

A weekend in Cimaja is not only about chasing waves.
Between surf sessions, there is a chance to experience another side of West Java's southern coast — rice fields, fishing villages, local farms, fishing ports, coconut trees, and the everyday life of coastal communities.
We don't fill the itinerary with a long list of tourist attractions.
Instead, we look for simple, genuine experiences that make you feel connected to the place.

🌊 Surfing in Cimaja

Enjoy surf sessions around Cimaja and Pelabuhan Ratu with a local surf instructor.
The surf location is selected according to ocean conditions and the ability of the participants. For beginners, we don't force a particular break simply because it is famous.
The ocean decides where we surf.
🌅 Sunset in Sawarna
If conditions and timing allow, we can head toward Sawarna to watch the sunset along the southern coast.
There is no need to rush.
Sit on the beach, watch the light change over the ocean, and let the day slow down before heading back.
Sometimes the simplest moments become the ones you remember most.
🌾 Walk Through the Rice Fields
Step away from the coast for a while and discover another side of rural West Java.
Walk through the rice fields, see farmers working, learn about the crops grown around the villages, and get a glimpse of how life here is connected to both the land and the sea.
It is a simple experience, but it offers something you won't find on a typical beach holiday.
🎣 Follow the Fishermen
When timing and conditions are right, we can get a closer look at the daily life of local fishermen.
See the boats, the catch coming ashore, and what happens after the fishermen return from the sea.
If circumstances allow and with permission from the local community, the experience may include seeing traditional fishing activities or joining a local fisherman.
Fishing activities depend on weather, sea conditions, season, and local permission.
🐟 Visit a Local Fish Farm
Visit a local fish cage or small-scale fish farm and see how fish are raised in the coastal waters.
It is a chance to understand a little more about the local economy and how communities make a living from the sea.
This isn't a tourist attraction built for visitors.
That's exactly what makes it interesting.
⚓ Visit the Fishing Port
Visit the local fishing port when it is active.
You may see fishermen bringing their catch ashore, fish being sorted and weighed, and buyers preparing the catch for the next stage of the supply chain.
If we arrive at the right time, you can see the fish being weighed as part of the everyday trading process.
It is a completely different side of Pelabuhan Ratu — one that many visitors never see because they only experience the beaches.
🥥 Try Climbing a Coconut Tree
If the opportunity comes up, you can try something that probably isn't part of everyday life in Jakarta:
climbing a coconut tree.
This is optional and only done when conditions are suitable and with guidance from someone experienced.
No pressure. No staged performance.
Just a chance to try something genuinely local.
🐍 Look for Eels
Step into the countryside and discover one of the simple activities that can be part of everyday rural life.
Searching for freshwater eels can be a surprisingly fun experience, especially for travelers who want to see where food comes from beyond supermarkets and restaurants.
For families and younger travelers, this can also become one of the most memorable parts of the trip.
🍛 Share a Meal with Local People
Some of the best travel experiences don't happen in restaurants.
When possible, we can arrange a meal with a local family or community.
Sit together, share simple food, talk, and learn a little about everyday life in the village.
This is not a cultural performance.
It is simply sharing a meal.
And that simplicity is often what makes the experience feel genuine.
♨️ Take a Hot Bath
After a day in the ocean and on the road, take some time to relax with a hot bath at a suitable local spot.
It's a simple way to slow down, recover, and prepare for another day by the coast.

You Don't Have to Do Everything
We don't want this trip to become a checklist.
Not every experience is available every time.
Some activities depend on:
Weather
Ocean conditions
Season
Tides
Fishing activity
Arrival time
Local availability
Permission from local communities
Safety considerations
The itinerary can therefore change.
If fishermen are returning with their catch, we may spend time at the port.
If the rice fields are looking good, we may take a walk through the countryside.
If the waves are right, we may simply spend more time surfing.
We follow the rhythm of the place rather than forcing the place to follow a fixed itinerary.

More Than a Surf Trip
For surfers, this is a chance to spend a weekend in the water.
But you don't have to be a serious surfer to enjoy the trip.
You might surf in the morning, walk through the rice fields in the afternoon, visit the fishing port, share a meal with local people, or watch the sunset in Sawarna.
That is what makes this experience different.
Surfing gets you here.
The people and the place make the trip memorable.
