Tofo beach is full of soft and gentle sand, there you can remember how to fall and laugh about not being in control of what is happening all the time. Stand back up and try again. Nearby are also Tofinho Poin and several other locations which are challenging even for the more experienced surfer.

Location: The training will be held in Praya Tofo, which is a small sleepy village in Southern Mozambique in the province of Inhabane. Everywhere you go in Tofo there is only beach sand. There is one shop in the village, a traditional marketplace and a few quality restaurants, all you need! It is the perfect place to focus on what's relevant, being and lightness. If you have never been to Africa, this is an easy place to visit first. You don't have to worry about jet lag, since there is none (when traveling from Finland).

The main attraction of this beautiful place is definitely the beaches, the ocean and the guaranteed sunshine. 

The retreat center is located directly on the beach and you can easily go surfing, snorkeling, diving or just have a walk on the endless beach. Other activities are also available for those who are interested such as horseback riding and cultural tours. 

During the training it is possible to spot humpback whales, whale sharks, turtles, stingrays and dolphins. All in their natural habitat and straight in front of you.

The retreat center is owned by Finnish Liquiddiveadventures and the center's own restaurant Happi will provide tasty food throughout the retreat. It is the only vegetarian restaurant in the area. Happi uses as much local ingredients as possible and is passionate about sustainability and the wellbeing of the surrounding ecosystem, including the ocean.
