MORE INFORMATION ABOUT MORRO NEGRITO SURF CAMP
Have you every dreamed of surfing in a tropical paradise with perfect warm water waves to yourself? This is your opportunity. We have a surf camp that opened in June 1998 that will fulfill your ultimate wave fantasies. It is located on a small island in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Panama (Gulf of Chiriqui).

There's also diving, fishing, exploring, or just relaxing in a hammock. On the island there is a variety of wild life including monkeys, many types of bird, parrots and deer.

The Morro Negrito Surf Camp consists of a larger and a smaller island. The larger island has the living accommodations. Cabanas are located on the side of a hill overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Water is supplied by a fresh water spring on top of the hill that has been piped down for drinking and showering. Electricity is generated by a solar energy system at the camp. There's a large sandy beach break in one bay area. There are also several left point breaks on this island.

Surfing, Surfing, Surfing
The smaller island is about a 30-minute boat ride. This is the island of the largest waves. When the waves are flat everywhere else, you'll find 6-8 feet faces here on average. On the north side of the island there are lefthanders going off and on the south side of the island there are right breaking waves. (Something for everyone) We provide two major boat trips per day to the various surf breaks. The first boat leaves early in the morning, the next later morning or early afternoon.

What do I bring?
The weather is tropical, so all you will need is your trunks, sunglasses, warm water wax and alot of sunscreen. Reef shoes are a good idea for coral and rock breaks.

Citizens of the U.S.A. must have a valid passport. There is no visa requirement, but a tourist card must be purchased for $5.00 at the airport.

Details & Reservations
All guests will arrive at the International Airport in Panama (PTY) on Saturday. (of course, you can fly into Panama City, before Saturday, but we only pick people up on Saturday) The first night will be in Panama City. We will meet you at the airport and take you to the hotel.

Early the next day (Sunday morning), you will depart for the island by bus. The bus ride takes about 5 hours to arrive at the Cruce de Tole'. There is another 30 minute ride in the Landcruiser to the port. Then and a 30 minute boat ride and you are at the camp. The island is located in the Gulf of Chiriqui, about 80 miles from the border of Costa Rica.

All food, shelter, transportation, daily boat trips are included between both surf islands and hotel costs are included. Beer and soda and horseback riding are extra.

Your departure from the island will be Friday afternoon for the trip back to Panama City. We will provide your last hotel night in the city and your transport from the hotel to the airport for your Saturday airport departure.

If you wish to stay one extra day with an airport departure on Sunday, then you will be charged an additional $50.

The Cost
The cost for the package is $500 p/stay per person. A STAY IS AN ARRIVAL IN PANAMA CITY AIRPORT ON SATURDAY AND THEN LEAVING PANAMA CITY AIRPORT ON THE FOLLOWING SATURDAY. (NO FRIDAY AIRPORT ARRIVALS) A $100 per person deposit is required to hold your reservation. Make your deposit check payable to "Cesar Concepcion" . The balance is due upon arrival at the airport in Panama City (cash only, no checks). If you wish to stay additional weeks, the charge will be $450 per week.

If you have a group of 10 or more, the organizer will receive $100 off for his or her trip. If you have 15 people (or pay for 15 spaces), you can rent the whole camp.
We also have surfboard rentals available for $10 per day.

You are responsible for finding airfare to Panama. Some of the best fares can be obtained through consolidators. Try an Internet search under "air consolidators". It pays to shop around.

I have found a very good consolidator travel agency called "Ole Travel". Ask for Natalie (only speak to her or leave a message) at 1 800 559 5192. You can also email here at Natalie@oletravel.com (email is normally better) Tell her Steve Thompson referred you.
