I spontaneously booked this trip to end a 3 month traveling period and I couldn’t have chosen a better way to end it. Silvia has created an amazing environment for women wanting to travel and connect with likeminded people. I’ve met the most amazing woman and had the best chats. Discovering this beautiful corner of the Philippines with this fantastic group will always have a special place in my heart. You can’t compare the experience with any other group trip. - Alina (22) Germany
A Truly Transformational Experience with Maganda Surf Girls Trip 🌊🌴Last year, I joined the Maganda Experience surf girls trip in the Philippines for two unforgettable weeks—and it truly was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!!!From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and inspired. The energy of the group was electric—strong, uplifting women from around the world coming together to share waves, stories, and laughter. Whether you were a beginner or had some surfing experience, the local coaches were incredibly warm, patient and encouraging. Every session on the board felt truly empowering.Beyond the surf, the entire experience was beautifully curated and I cannot count the moments of pure magic under the tropical sun. It wasn’t just a holiday; it was a soulful journey that reconnected me with nature, with myself, and with a sisterhood I didn’t know I needed.If you’re looking for more than just a surf camp—if you’re craving growth, adventure, and meaningful connection—Maganda delivers all that and more.I left the Philippines with a tan, sore muscles, new skills, and friendships that will last a lifetime. I can’t recommend it enough. 💛
Maganda experience is such a great opportunity to solo travel while feeling safe and getting out of your comfort zone. I had never ever surfed before and everything was planned and designed in such a smooth fun way that it was really easy to learn and practice. The place is stunning and so private, the food was delicious (dreaming on trying again the mango float 🤤 )and inclusive for vegetarians; the surf teachers were fun and patient. I cannot imagine a better wait to learn or practice surf than in Maganda. I had wanted to learn for so long but was scared to go to a surf camp and feel out of place for not surfing before. Also, since it is a girls experience I felt very supported and with no pressure during my experience. You will not only get beautiful pictures from Maganda but also beautiful memories to share with friends.
I spent two amazing weeks in Catanduanes with Maganda Experience, and I can honestly say it was one of the most rewarding trips I’ve ever taken. I was traveling solo, but quickly connected with a group of like-minded women, all looking for adventure, connection, and something a little different.My main reason for joining was to step outside my comfort zone, improve my surfing, practice yoga, and explore a more authentic side of the Philippines and this trip delivered on all fronts. Every detail was carefully curated, from the daily activities to the community atmosphere that made everything feel personal and genuine.One of the highlights for me was the connection with the locals. Catanduanes is still a very untouristy island, and you can truly feel the soul of the place and its people. There’s an authenticity here that’s rare to find and it makes everything feel even more special.Silvia, the organizer, was incredibly professional, kind, and attentive she truly made every request come to life and ensured that all of us felt supported throughout the trip.I also really appreciated the high-quality content that was created during our stay: photos, videos, and even drone shots. It felt like a beautiful souvenir of an unforgettable journey, something I’ll cherish forever.We also had three meals included each day: simple, local, and absolutely delicious. It added such a warm and homely touch to the whole experience, and made the journey even sweeter.If you're looking to travel differently, surf, grow, and meet amazing people along the way this is the trip for you!
Maganda experience is by far one of the best trips I’ve ever done. So well organised, so many fun activities, perfect location and most importantly a safe and wholesome time spent making lifelong friends from around the world. Couldn’t recommend enough, I miss it!
During my Maganda Experience I always felt safe, taken care of and listened. Since I enrolled to the camp I knew all the details which made me secure with an idea of traveling from Europe alone. During the trip I met the most amazing girls with whom we shared our stories, sad and happy as well. Every day was planned carefully and at the same time we as group could make changes depending on our mood and energy. This experience changed the way I saw myself, others and how I wonderful journey of exploration it was. Sylvia with her energy, kindness, courage showed us Catanduanes and what a community of women actually is! Life changing experience that I wish all could have 🥰
Being part of the very first Maganda Experience in March of 2024 was a phenomenal experience! Together with my sister, we got to be some of the only tourists on Catanduanes Island! The team was very welcoming and worked tirelessly to create a seamless experience. We made lifelong friends, enjoyed amazing food and loved every minute of it! I am sure that the experience has grown and is now even more powerful than it was when I was in Puraran.
Maganda experience felt like home. It was one of a kind experience which I never thought I'd have. Travelling with a group of strangers might seem a bit scary in the beginning but that turned out to be the best part by the end of the trip. The places they took us to were the cherry on top. The surfing classes were also great. Would love to come back there again.
There’s so many advantages- the people, the place, surfing, an opportunity to feel truly connected to nature. Great girls from all around the place brought together by Silvia to a non-commercial island to spend some quality time and simply have fun. I had an amazing time at Maganda while traveling Asia solo last year and would recommend it to girls who wish to meet friends that last 💗
