Where do your trips take place?

We are excited to launch our operations in Morocco, where the stunning coastline and vibrant local culture provide the perfect backdrop for our immersive surf and skateboarding experiences. In the future, we plan to expand to other incredible destinations, including South America, Asia, and additional breathtaking coastlines across Africa. Stay tuned as we continue to grow and bring more amazing adventures to life!

BOOKING FLEXIBILITY & CONDITIONS

How do I book a trip?

You can book a trip directly on our website. Browse ‘TRIP’ in the menu, select your preferred trip, and complete the booking process. If you have questions or need assistance, our customer support team is happy to help.

What payment methods do you accept?

To secure your spot on a trip, we require a 50% deposit to be paid via bank transfer at the time of booking. The remaining 50% is due upon your arrival at the destination and must be paid in cash. This system ensures a smooth and secure transaction process while giving you flexibility.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes, we offer installment payment options to make your dream trip more accessible. A deposit is required to secure your spot, and the remaining balance is due before the trip. Details of the payment schedule will be provided during the booking process.

What is your cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel your trip, our policy varies based on timing:

  • For cancellations made more than 7 days before departure, the full refund is available.
  • For cancellations made less than 7 days before departure, no refund is available.
    In the unlikely event that we need to cancel a trip, you’ll receive a full refund or the option to reschedule.

PREPARATION AND TRAVEL

Do I need prior experience in surfing or skateboarding?

Not at all! Our trips are designed for everyone, including complete beginners. We provide professional instruction tailored to your skill level, ensuring you learn safely while having fun.

What should I pack for my trip?

Pack like a pro adventurer! Bring your favorite swimsuit (or two—you’ll be living in them), comfy clothes you can move in, and something light to cover up when the sun gets a little too friendly. Don’t forget a hat and sunglasses to keep the rays in check, and some sturdy flip-flops or sneakers for exploring. Oh, and sunscreen—lots of sunscreen. If you’ve got a surfboard or skateboard you love, bring it along! If not, we’ve got awesome rental gear waiting for you.

Do I need travel insurance?

Yes, travel insurance is mandatory for all participants. It should cover medical emergencies, cancellations, and adventure activities like surfing and skateboarding. This ensures your safety and peace of mind throughout the trip.

How do I handle visas and travel documents?

No need to stress about this part—it’s easier than it sounds! For Morocco, most travelers can get their visa right at the airport upon arrival. However, it’s always a good idea to double-check the rules for your specific country before you pack your bags. Some nationalities may have different requirements, and we wouldn’t want anything to slow you down. Make sure your passport is valid (at least six months beyond your trip date is a safe bet), and if you need help figuring things out, we’re happy to point you in the right direction.

What currency should I bring?

We’ll provide detailed information about the local currency and exchange rates before your trip. It’s a good idea to bring cash in small denominations, as not all locations may accept cards or have nearby ATMs.

What language is spoken at the destination? Will there be language support?

While the primary language varies by destination, our guides and instructors are bilingual and will assist with any language barriers. For example, in Morocco, Arabic and French are widely spoken, and our team will help with translations when needed

Are meals included, and what kind of food can I expect?

We’ve got your mornings covered! Breakfast will be provided every day during the trip, giving you the perfect start to your adventures. As for lunch and dinner, we’ve intentionally left those open. Why? Because we want you to feel free to explore, try different restaurants, and dive into the local food scene at your own pace.

That said, there’s one special dinner we’ll share together! We’ll host a fun cooking session where you’ll learn to make authentic Moroccan cuisine, so you can take a piece of Morocco home with you (in recipe form, of course!).

This approach also helps us support local businesses—your meals out contribute directly to the community, and you’ll get to experience the amazing variety of local flavors.

How do I get to the trip location?

Getting to the trip location is a breeze! Once you arrive at the airport, a BoardJoy taxi will be there to pick you up and take you straight to your accommodation. We’ll also make sure you get back to the airport on the departure day—no need to worry about transportation. We’ve got you covered, so all you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

What happens if I arrive late or miss the start of the trip?

If you anticipate a delay, please inform us as soon as possible. While we’ll do our best to accommodate you, late arrivals may miss some activities. Unfortunately, refunds cannot be provided for missed portions of the trip.

 

BoardJoy is all about flexibility! If you experience a flight delay or anything unexpected, just let us know as soon as you can. We’ll make sure our taxis are ready and waiting for you when you arrive, no matter what time it is. We want to make your journey as smooth as possible, so don’t stress—we’ve got it covered!

Will there be internet access during the trip?

You’ll stay connected during most of your trip! Our accommodations come with Wi-Fi, and we’ve even got fiber for faster connections. However, during the wild camping experience, we’ll be off the grid for a night—there won’t be Wi-Fi, and the internet connection will be quite limited. It’s a chance to fully disconnect and immerse yourself in nature.

What if I have special requirements or requests?

We strive to accommodate special requests, such as dietary needs, accessible accommodations, or personalized itineraries. Please share your requirements during booking so we can make the necessary arrangements.

Absolutely! Traveling solo with BoardJoy is a fantastic way to experience the world, and we welcome solo adventurers with open arms. Whether you’re looking to meet new people or just want a little time for yourself, our trips are the perfect mix of community and independence.
