FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Peru surf coaching trip.
-
What level do I need?
You should be confident paddling, able to duck dive cleanly and comfortable dealing with stronger currents. If you want to work on technique, wave selection and decision-making in the line-up, this trip is built for you. It is designed for people who already surf at a solid intermediate to advanced level and want to keep improving with purpose. It is not intended for first-time surf experiences.
-
How does the final booking confirmation work?
Your booking is only confirmed after a short personal check-in about your surfing level. That helps us make sure the format is a good fit for you and that the group comes together well. It helps if you can send video footage of your current surfing level — either via WhatsApp to WhatsApp an +94 76 817 70 80 or by email to E-Mail an booking@drivethru.de.
-
How does the road trip work?
We start in Lima and travel north along the coast. The route stays deliberately flexible: if conditions are good, we stay longer at a spot, and if it makes sense, we move on. We surf where swell, wind and tide line up for the best possible sessions.
-
Where do we stay during the trip?
We stay in carefully selected accommodation along the route. What matters to us is a relaxed atmosphere, clean rooms and being close to the surf spots. That way, there is enough space for recovery between sessions and the overall flow of the trip stays smooth.
-
When should I arrive and depart?
We recommend arriving in Lima 1–2 days before the trip starts. It is a long flight, and arriving a little earlier makes everything easier. It can also make sense to plan one more night in Lima after the trip before flying home.
-
Do I need a visa for Peru?
For most European citizens, no visa is required. In most cases, you will need a passport valid for at least 6 months, a return ticket and proof of accommodation. Please still check the entry requirements that apply to you before travelling.
-
How does airport arrival work?
We organise airport transfers — either individually or in small groups, depending on arrival times. If you want, we can also help with accommodation before the trip starts, so everyone can stay as close together as possible.
-
How does departure work after the trip?
At the end of the trip, we organise the transfer back to Lima to match your onward flight plans.
-
How is my equipment transported?
Our vehicles are set up for surf trips. Your equipment will be transported safely throughout the road trip, so even travelling with multiple boards stays easy and stress-free.
-
What extra costs should I expect?
In addition to the trip price, you should budget around USD 25–50 per day for food and drinks, as well as personal expenses and, if wanted, a single room upgrade for USD 400. The domestic flight from Talara to Lima at the end of the trip is also not included and costs around USD 100 including boardbag. Tipping is common locally, but not mandatory.
