Hawaii's perfect weather, clean air and ocean sounds make yoga practice amazing. Yoga is the perfect complement to surfing, both physically and mentally. While you are getting a great workout and strengthening your body, both yoga and surfing will teach you patience, insight and balance. Whether you're a veteran Yogi or have never done a yoga lesson, our instructor will guide you through the whole process.
Typical practices will include vinyasa series, pranayama, meditation, as well as standing asana, balancing poses, and restorative poses. Yoga sessions take place on the covered lanai at our house or occasionally at the beach park. Yoga mats are provided.
This is a huge part of Surf N Sol. Your fruits and veggies come fresh from a twice-weekly farmers’ market located right in Hanalei, and your fish comes from the fishermen who catch them. Hawaii grows an endless variety of foods: oranges, papaya, pineapple, ginger, taro, huge avocados, lemons, greens, beans, sprouts, cucumbers, honey, tomatoes, onions, eggplant...just about everything! We strive to support the local community and economy in an effort to build a self-sustainable Kauai. Everything we need to keep us surfing all day grows right here on this island. If you’re a vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or have any dietary restrictions, just let us know; we are happy to accommodate everyone.
Locally grown coffee is waiting for you when you wake up, and a hot breakfast with loads of fruit is provided before your morning surf lesson. Since surfing creates a big appetite, our midday meal is a big one. For lunch we serve local fish such as ahi, mahi, or opah; we use natural and hearty carbs and vegetables, and Andrew’s desserts are awesome. We want you to have a nice chunk of the day to be free to do your own thing, so you choose when and where you would like to have dinner. The local restaurants, cafes, juice and sushi bars are really amazing! Or, grab food from the organic grocery and head to the beach park for an ocean-side dinner.
Once densely inhabited by native Hawaiians, the Na Pali coast is now a haven for hikers, kayakers and boaters who appreciate its rugged, remote beauty. The movie South Pacifc made Na Pali and Hanalei world famous and since then over 50 hollywood films have been shot in the area. The Na Pali cliffs are the second highest and fastest eroding sea cliffs in the world! This rapid erosion creates the dramatic beauty that makes this area of Hawaii a must-see.
The famed Kalalau trail is an 11 mile hike showcasing the stunning Na Pali coast. We'll spend an afternoon on the trail hiking the first two miles to Hanakapii beach. Na Pali is home to many species of plants which can only be found here on its cliffs. Keep an eye out for mountain goats as they like to scale the mountainside. While you're getting a great workout, you'll see some epic views of the Na Pali coast's striking "Cathedrals."
As the volcanic island of Kauai was forming about 6 million years ago, lava traveled through the island in tubes called lava dykes; the dykes cooled slower than the surrounding rock making them harder and more resistant to erosion. Then as the Na Pali Coast begins to erode, the lava dykes are exposed forming Na Pali's amazing "fingers" or cathedrals as they are sometimes called.
Hanalei Bay is an ocean playground. Locally referred to simply as 'the bay', the two-mile long stretch of sand offers loads of activities including surfing, stand up paddling (SUP), kite surfing, wind surfing, ocean and river kayaking, sailing, swimming and jogging. You can do any of these activites while you're here.
Access to the beach is only seconds from your house, so treat the ocean as your back yard and hang out there all day.
For surfing, Hanalei has a wave for everyone. Expirienced surfers will love the long, right-handed point of the bay, while beginners can enjoy a number of ideal, sand-bottomed beginner breaks

Your home at Surf N Sol is the beachside surf town of Hanalei. It's the ultimate setting for your week-long vacation. This is a place where everyone has a board on their car ready at any moment to jump in the water if the waves are good.
Hanalei and it's taro fields are nestled in the valley of Hanalei between the crescent-shaped bay and the lush green, waterfall-covered cliffs of the Napali Coast. It truly is a magnificent place; it's like a garden and surfing paradise.
The center of Hanalei town, just a few minutes walk from your house, has many quality restaurants, island boutiques, and mellow surf shops. We're here to give you suggestions on where to go for great local dining, nightlife or a surf board.
Hanalei River begins deep in Hanalei Valley winding through the taro fields, past town and into the ocean at Black Pot Beach Park. Many people enjoy kayaking or stand up paddling the senic river. The valley is designated a national wildlife refuge, so keep your eye out for Hawaiian geese, the NeNe and other rare species. Also if you're lucky, you may spot the herd of water buffalo that live in the marsh of the river.
We feature a number of hand-picked homes and apartements in and around Hanalei that we like to use for surf camps. Your pad is walking distance to the beach and the town center. Homes come with all the amenities you need for your beach holiday. The unit that we use is determined by the number of people in your group and your budget. We can accomodate up to 10 people or more.
To further help you relax and unwind, a complimentary one-hour massage is included in your stay with us. Additional treatments are also available.
Many other activities can be aranged for your trip including: river and ocean kayaking, stand up paddling (S.U.P.), ziplining, horseback riding, boating, fishing and whale watching.
