Why Ecuador?
Ecuador is a small country with an enormous heart.
In just a few hours, you can travel from the mountains to the coast,
or from the Amazon rainforest to the highlands.
Its four regions are incredibly diverse, offering beaches, jungles, volcanoes, and culture all within reach.
Shared moments, salt stories and waves of connection.
Hi, I’m Iva.
Sirenas del Surf was born from the desire of accompany women into the ocean —
listening deeply, observing carefully, and creating spaces
where confidence and connection can grow at their own rhythm.
I curate surf experiences with care, presence and intuition.
Every trip is shaped by the women who arrive.
Your days in our coastal paradise are full of good vibes, salty air, and endless adventure:
Surfing on uncrowded waves
Jungle treks and scenic hikes
Yoga sessions to restore body and mind
Snorkeling and free diving in crystal waters
Exploring virgin beaches
Nourishing, healthy meals
A simple, mindful life that lets you disconnect from the world

It’s a country that offers an overview of South America’s culture, language and gastronomy.
Whether you’ve never surfed before, or you are beginner or intermediate surfer, we have different options for everyone!
Our surf experiences are designed with surf lessons for beginners, and surf guiding in different spots for intermediate surfers.
Some women arrive on their own, others with a friend.
When dates and energy align, small groups often form naturally. You’ll never be forced into a group, but you’re always welcome into connection.
Experiences can begin privately, in pairs, or as small groups.
Sirenas del Surf works with curated, flexible formats, allowing experiences to grow organically while keeping them personal and intimate.
Our most popular option is a One-week surf experience, filled with waves, connection, and adventure.
If you’d like to stay longer, no problem at all — all experiences are tailor-made, and we’re happy to adapt the length of your stay to your schedule and wishes.
There is a suggested calendar you can check here.
But dates are flexible and shaped around your travel plans.
Once you share your availability, we design the experience around you and see if other women may be joining during the same period.
Group sizes remain intentionally small, usually between 2 and 4 women, to preserve closeness, safety and personal guidance.
We recommend booking your flight to Guayaquil or Manta Airport.
Guayaquil is about 3 hours from Las Tunas, while Manta is closer, at around 2 hours by car.
Whichever airport you choose, our trusted drivers can be arranged to meet you upon arrival and take you comfortably to the coast.
If your flight arrives late at night, we suggest staying one night in the city and continuing the journey to Las Tunas the following day — an easy and beautiful drive along Ecuador’s coastline.
If you’re a beginner, we provide longboards and funboards — both soft tops and fiberglass — perfect for learning and progressing comfortably.
If you’re an intermediate surfer, we still have a selection of shorter boards and also you can bring your own board.
Along the coast, Ecuador has two main seasons:
Ecuador uses the US Dollar (USD).
We recommend bringing small bills ($5, $10, $20), as many small shops don’t accept $50 or $100 bills. Ecuador is an affordable country, and having small cash makes everyday purchases easier.
ATMs are available in nearby towns if you need to withdraw cash during your stay.
December–May: No wetsuit needed — just bring your bikini 👙
June–November: A 2 or 3 mm shorty wetsuit is perfect for cooler or windy days
If you feel drawn to the ocean, curious about surfing, and open to connection, it’s usually a good sign.
We always start with a conversation to make sure the experience feels aligned for you.
If something in you resonates with Sirenas del Surf, the next step is simple.
(Tell us your dates, level and what you’re looking for)
When you decide to plan your surf trip, there are several things to keep in mind. And what you want most besides surfing, is to know new places and that the people you meet and accompany you on that trip are in your same vibe.
At Sirenas del Surf you will be accompanied by happy people, who like the simple life on the beach and surfing. Your main guide in this surf adventure will be Iva, the founder and Surf instructor. But you will also be accompanied by the hosts and volunteers of our surf house, yoga teachers and local tour guides depending on the surf package you decide to book.
Our surf trips are designed with love and personalized for different types of experiences, whether you want to just dedicate yourself to surfing, or if you work remotely and want a quiet place with good internet and waves all year round just a few steps from your room, or if you want to know Ecuador in detail and sign up for all the available tours for a complete adventure.
We also care about your level of surfing, so if you have never taken surf lessons this is the best opportunity to start. If you are a beginner but have already taken classes, we will make sure that you progress every day and try different surfboards on different beaches. And if you are an intermediate or advanced surfer, we will also show you different spots in Ecuador where you can slide on left or right waves.
We would love to be part of your achievements. Whether your main goal is to learn to stand on the board for the first time, or to be able to ride a green wave to the right or left, or even to improve your technique on faster waves, we are here to have fun with you on our surf guiding service.
If in addition to surfing you want to immerse yourself in a beautiful and Latin culture such as the Ecuadorian culture is, you are in the right place. In this surf trip prepared for women and made by women, we want you to get to know the gastronomy, the secret spots, the slang of Ecuador and its fun transportation between spots with salsa music out loud so that you feel the warmth of Latin America.
When we plan a surf trip or vacation to another country or even a city, we must think about all the things that we are going to need when we arrive in that new place, and those that we will use during the entire stay.
It is very common to pack more than we need, and we want you to travel as comfortable and lightly as possible, but do not forget anything you may need.
Ecuador is a fairly flexible country regarding visas, most countries do not require a prior visa application.
If you are from South America you can travel to Ecuador with your identity card or passport and when you enter they will give you between 3 and 6 months of tourism per year.
For countries in Europe, Oceania and North America they have 3 months of tourism per year.
And the countries that require a prior visa to enter Ecuador are: Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Cuba, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, India, Iraq, Kenya, Libya, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, Senegal, Syria, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Venezuela
Covid’19 Situation: Entry to Ecuador for people over 3 years old must show a vaccination certificate against COVID-19 with at least 14 days validity, or the negative result of an RT-PCR test carried out up to 72 hours prior to boarding to Ecuador.
Okay, this is more interesting and fun than documents, what to bring in terms of clothes, wetsuits, shoes, coats.
Ecuador has two seasons, a colder one and a very warm one.
In the hot season from December to April we recommend that you bring light clothes such as shorts, tees, sandals or flip flops, sunglasses, mosquito repellent, sunscreen, a hat, swimsuits and perhaps a rashguard to protect you from the sun and friction with the surfboard.
If you come in the whale season, this is from june to november, it will be a little cloudier and with some drizzle. The water temperature is quite warm all year round but there may be cooler days. We recommend you to bring the same as for the hot season and also 1 or 2 long but light pants, a sweater or hoodie, and 2 or 3 mm wetsuit that can be with short legs but long sleeves.
Ecuador is a small country where you can feel safe and at home. As an Argentinian expat in Ecuador, and founder of Sirenas del Surf, I can tell you that, since I arrived in Ecuador I have had that sense of belonging.
My home away from home. I have been living in Ecuador for about 10 years now, and it is the best decision I ever made.
Even if you don’t speak the language, many people in Ecuador speak English and they are kind and will be happy to help you. Of course, always trust in your intuition and be aware of weirdos, like in every city or country in the world.
Also if you book a surf trip with us, you don’t need to worry about this because we will be on your side all the time. We can arrange transfers and pick you up at the airport or bus terminal, and show you all the tricks and tips to have a nice and safe journey.
