Experience Surfing, Beach Life & Wildlife in One Day 

Looking for a tour in The Gambia that combines surfing, beaches and wildlife? This full-day coastal experience brings three of the country's most enjoyable activities together in one itinerary.

Start with a 2-hour surfing experience with a professional instructor on the Atlantic coast. Whether you're a complete beginner or already have surfing experience, you'll receive guidance and use the necessary surfing equipment during the session.

After surfing, enjoy free time at the beach to relax, swim depending on conditions or simply enjoy the Atlantic coastline.

The experience continues at Bijilo Forest Park, where you'll explore the forest trails and have the opportunity to see green monkeys and vervet monkeys in their natural environment.

This tour is particularly suitable for travellers who want to combine an active surfing experience, Atlantic beach time and a wildlife experience at Bijilo Forest Park in one day.

Why Choose This Surfing & Wildlife Tour in The Gambia? 

This experience combines three very different sides of The Gambia:

Atlantic surfing, relaxing beach time and Gambian wildlife.

Instead of spending the entire day doing one activity, you'll experience the coast and the forest in the same tour. The 2-hour surf session provides the active part of the experience, while the beach stop gives you time to relax before exploring Bijilo Forest Park and its monkey population.

It's a particularly good option for travellers looking for things to do in The Gambia beyond traditional sightseeing, as well as families, couples, solo travellers and first-time visitors.
