for those who crave the extraordinary.
Born from our passion for surfing, travel, and mindful living, we started the Salty Souls Experience back in 2015.
We design transformative travel experiences that offer women a chance to find – or refine – their own interpretation of living authentically.
Salty’s not your average getaway—it’s an invitation to dive headfirst into our world on an 8-day escape. Our all-inclusive surf retreats are a full immersion into surfing, surfskating, yoga, apnea training, and our signature: the empowerment workshops. From start to finish, forget about planning, cooking, or the futile attempt to foresee or forestall…
Let’s bring back playfulness and step-up our surfing game!
WHO WE ARE
Salty was founded by Erika Drolet and Marie-Christine Amyot, two waterwomen with an expertise in wellness and taste for unconventionality. As avid travelers and occasional goofballs, they realized they couldn’t find the kind of trips they truly craved—so they went ahead and created them! Erika brings a strong background in movement of all forms, along with a visionary mind. Meanwhile, MC’s obsession with surfing, Latin culture, and her natural charm around people make her the perfect partner in crime. Together, they’re the dynamic duo behind Salty, curating adventures you won’t find anywhere else!
OUR DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES
It all started in El Salvador, over a decade ago. Back then—and still now—our mission was simple: to create access to off-the-beaten-path destinations we believe are worth discovering, not just for their raw natural beauty, but for the soul of their people.
Since then, we’ve stretched across continents, designing new speciality programs which follow the wave seasons. Because if you’ve ever surfed, you know—timing is everything. And when it comes to waves, it’s not always easy to know where and when to go.
We take the guesswork out, so you can just show up. To the right place, at the right time. And surf!
SIGNATURE PROGRAM
– Surf, Yoga & Empowerment –
Our Signature Program has been our most popular offering since day one, and what made Salty the transformative travel experience it is known for today. Deep dive into our universe. Learn or solidify the foundations of surfing, get on your mat every day to explore a range of yoga styles, and find or refine what truly makes you vibe with our empowerment workshops.
SPECIALITY PROGRAMS
Celebrating the magic of life on the water. Siargao is where you find your freedom. Come with us on this tiny island where every surf spot is only accesible by boat, and revitalize your confidence through physical movement. This the full expression of getting SALTY and SWEATY!
Radically fun girl-trip dedicated to one thing: spending as much time as possible on boards! Whether you are just starting or you’ve been surfing and/or skating for a bit, a full week spent shredding in the tropics with a thirsty girl-gang promises to uplift your spirit!

This is an occasion for you to challenge yourself, and deepen your knowledge of surfing, breath-holding and mind-mastery in a supportive environment. A very special week where you’ll get to unlock new pieces of your physical and mental abilities! Let’s go.
NOT SURE WHICH PROGRAM IS BEST FOR YOU?
FITNESS. FREEDOM. FEMALE-POWERED.
With a desire to keep growing alongside our guests even after their experience, and to make surf-focused wellness more accessible to boardsport enthusiasts from anywhere, we launched our digital experience in 2018, known as The Salty Club. More than 500 online classes, programs, interviews and workshops to keep you active even if you are away from the ocean.
