Each morning after breakfast you'll head out to the volunteer project at the village school.  Eco Surf Volunteers has teamed up with community leaders to work hard to improve and expand the local elementary school.  With your help, we will be continuing an Eco Surf Volunteer sponsored English Language Development Program that teaches English through games, activities and sports.

After your morning volunteer work and a hearty lunch, kick back and relax in a hammock before gearing up for your afternoon surf.  You'll head out with Canoa's best as they show you their favorite local surf spots.  You also have the option of taking advantage of free daily surf lessons from Ecuador's own Junior  Surf Champion and his team of surfriders.  Each lesson is two hours long, and the student-teacher ratio is no more than 4:1.

Excursions to meet local indigenous tribes, visit re-forested mangrove islands, explore animal sanctuaries, and surf safari's to remote tropical beaches round out your week's cultural immersion adventure.

After 4 hours in the water and a tasty Ecuadorian dinner, join  one of the various evening activities designed to help you become even more immersed in the community as well as promote cultural awareness.  And don't be too shy to ask one of the friendly locals for a Salsa Dancing lesson - always a hit with everyone!!

A typical day on this ESV tour will look something like this!
