About this trip

Close your eyes & imagine: Dancing every day in an open-air,  deck overlooking the ocean | Hands-on, meaningful volunteer work with local communities | Sitting by a beach bonfire with a cocktail as the sun sets over the ocean | Surf lessons or long walks on the vast shore right in front of our digs | Having a professional photographer capture these moments and share them with you each day...


Awaken your wild + creative spirit in majestic El Salvador! Wildhive's second Play. Give. Explore. adventure will take us to magical Playa Las Flores! A dramatic, natural cove, hemmed in by severe topography and dense tropical flora, a playful black sand beach bordering a cauldron of whitewater and waves detonating in the background, a throwback in time to a prehistoric vision of Central America where the tropical waters of the Pacific Ocean meet the charcoal sands of ancient volcanic outflows.


THINK: magical vibes, lots of laughter, impactful service, sweaty dance & bumpin' music, hammock time, positive people = almost like summer camp for adults. This experience will be WILDLY life-changing, rejuvenating and uniting!

Proud to be sponsored by Athleta. Every woman going on this adventure will receive a pair of Athleta leggings for our dance + service! 

Our Digs

OUR DIGS:  Located two hours from the airport in San Salvador - Las Flores Resort and Surf Club lies on a stunning 7-acre beachfront property directly in front of the famous surf break and palm tree-lined postcard beach known as Las Flores. Playa Las Flores is on the outskirts of El Cuco, a small fishing village and sleepy touristic and residential beach zone for Eastern El Salvador's inhabitants as well as intrepid active lifestyle travelers from around the globe. Amazing food, live entertainment from local dancers to acoustic bands in a super beachy, laidback town…the place will be ours and only ours for the week!


FOOD & DINING: Can accommodate any food restriction or diet! 

Service Projects

We will be renovating a local school alongside its staff, students and their families! The projects may include building a library, renovating the bathrooms, creating a garden/nursery, building a soccer field! At project completion we will have a big celebration with everyone in the community! 

Who Is This Trip For?

Where my ladies at?!?! Anyone with an open-mind, big heart & wants to help cultivate a POSITIVE, fulfilling and meaningful experience with other amazing human beings! Judgement-free, lots of play & laughter - deep convo, up for some adventure...AND wants to shake their booty! (of course, everything we do is optional! Not feelin' it, no problem).

Professional Photography

Every day as we adventure and play, we will be creating impactful memories. Our goal is for you to be able to put your phones away so you can fully experience each adventure as it's happening. But don't worry! There will be plenty of photos. Our group will be joined by a professional photographer, Katie Cannon Photography, who will creatively capture these moments and share them with you.

Reviews

Thoughtful, detailed planning from beginning to end. An amazing mix of experiences planned that allowed us to see various aspects of Colombian culture. Mollie welcomes everyone and prioritizes making sure everyone has what they need to enjoy the total experience. Hands on Colombian experiences included rum tasting, ceviche making, dance classes, indigenous cultural experiences, walking tours, and much more. We also enjoyed connecting with one another through wildhive dancing - an experience that can not be duplicated and is so special and unique in nature. We had a great mix of planned activities and time to relax and enjoy beach/pool time. Thank you Mollie for an unforgettable experience!

This was a trip of a lifetime!!!! Amazing experiences, deep connections and in a beautiful country
By Nyssa z for ElSalvaHive! on Feb 19, 2019
For one, Las Flores was absolutely beautiful! It was such a great space for 27 women to get to know each other and enjoy sun, laughter (and drinks) together. It was amazing to dance each day with one another, to work side by side for a great cause together, and make new friends. You can feel comfort in a trip like this because it was filled with women of different ages, backgrounds and talents. All is welcome!
