Mobile surfschool De Surfbus and mobile hostel La Karavana team up to give you the ultimate Dutch surfing experience!

This intensive ‘crash course’ will teach you all the basics of surfing and safety to continue your surf-passion by yourself. We'll discover some of the best Surf Spots in The Netherlands on this 3 day long Surf Safari camp on Wheels! 


You will get surf lessons from the experienced surf instructors of De Surfbus. De Surfbus is a mobile surf school teaching surf on all the best surf spots in the Netherlands! Together with mobile hostel La Karavana they make the perfect team; we’ll chase the best waves and show you some of the best and most beautiful surf spots the Netherlands has to offer! Board rental + wetsuits are included in the price.

We'll turn on the music while we cruise along the coast together. You'll meet new people, with whom we'll be eating and sleeping in the bus on two different, unique camp spots. Of course bonfires & BBQ will be part of the weekend as well! 


La Karavana is a 46 year old double decker bus that is converted into a hostel by Jolisa, Saskia and Eileen. The driving hostel has everything you need; a fully equipped kitchen, living room, upstairs lounge, 9 super comfy beds and a heater just to be sure. All food is included in the price.

We were taken good care of. We've seen a lot of Scotland's nature and loved all the activities. My personal favorite was conyoning. That was awesome, even in the cold. Highly recommend anyone try a trip on this amazing bus!

De reis met LaKaravana door de Schotse Hooglanden was geweldig. De reisleiding (Eileen en Saskia) is altijd vrolijk, actief en gastvrij. Ben je actief en wil je Schotland (of een van de andere bestemmingen) anders beleven dan met alle andere organisatoren is dit echt een aanrader. Buiten de gebaande paden, veel lachen, ook voor alleengaanden perfect.

Ik heb een waanzinnige tijd gehad. Veel van Schotland kunnen ontdekken met de meiden van La Karavana. Reizen met zo’n oude bus is een unieke ervaring en geeft je een waanzinnig gevoel. De bus is van alle faciliteiten voorzien. Ook de medereizigers waren erg gezellig! Wij waren op pad met 5 reizigers en 2 begeleiders. Persoonlijk vond ik dit ook wel prettig, want het was nu in het slaapvertrek best wel rommelig en druk. Bij een volledige volzet is dit misschien nog iets ‘erger’. De activiteiten waren leuk en veelzijdig, al moet ik zeggen dat ik één kasteel bezoeken wel voldoende had gevonden. Daarnaast zijn de meiden wél flexibel en denken ze graag mee over de wensen van de groep. Zo konden we iets langer op Isle of Sky verblijven. Het mountainbiken in Trossachs National Park hebben we niet gedaan, daarover is ook niet gecommuniceerd. Ook de Harry Potter trein kon niet doorgaan, als alternatief zijn we met de gewone trein gegaan. Voorafgaand is hier wél over gecommuniceerd. Het eten dat elke avond geserveerd werd was lekker en gevarieerd. De lunches waren elke middag verrassend en in de ochtend hadden we regelmatig iets extra’s, zoals wentelteefjes, een gebakken ei of verse croissants. Al met al; het was een feestje om met de bus op pad te zijn geweest.

The trip with La Karavana to Scotland was great. Eileen and Jolisa organised cookes en drive the bus very well.

I traveled with this bus about a year ago. One of the worst experiences of my life. One of the hosts used a racial slur while at dinner. Completely changed my outlook on traveling with a female hosted trip. And the booking agent, girls love travel, would not refund my money.
