“My wife Georgia and daughter Claire recently concluded our holiday at Latitide Zero and we had a fantastic time. Everyone was great and tried very hard to give us a memorable stay. Special thanks to Rob and the boys on the boat, they were excellent and made sure we got plenty of waves. Also could you please pass on our thanks to John, Chad, Wal and John(US).”

RLZ is absolutely beautiful, the surf was fantastic and the food delicious. Just returned from a fab fortnight at RLZ. Obviously we enjoyed ourselves as I’m wondering what the vacancies are for next year.”

“First time back since 2009 & it is still the best surf adventure spot in the world. Great destination, great staff, perfect surf. We will be back. Thanks!!!!”

“Thanks for a fantastic week of surf, food and fun. No one does it better than you.”

“Another awesome time at RLZ to all the staff. A big thanks from us for the entire trip.”

“Been back to Adelaide a month now and not a day has gone by without reminiscing about our great times at RLZ We just wanted to thank you all again for a great Christmas, was FANTASTIC. We all enjoyed ourselves so much and to have uncrowded waves with friends old and new a real treat.”

“Thank you for your wonderful hospitality at RLZ it truly was a trip of a lifetime.”

“Really loved the experience. You guys simply get it 100% right. The entire stay from arrival to departure was amazing. Definitely the best surf trip of my life.”

“Just wanted to say another thank you for our week on your island. The whole family had a blast and are talking about coming back next year already!! Had a few “fun” moments getting home but I guess these just make the memories and stories more exciting.

A credit to you and your staff for the hospitality shown and we won’t hesitate to recommend Latitude Zero to all our friends.”

“Everyone had a great time – surfers + the girls. Food, surf,stuff, spa and gorgeous scenery made this a wonderful time away from all!!”

“Awesome trip as always, never a bad day – No matter the weather.”

“U have the best place for families and surf!! We want to go back!!”

“Just got back from my 5th trip today, Matt & Jen never disappoint.”

“Best place on earth.”

“Looking forward to getting back for a 3rd time in August. You guys do it well.”

“Amazing waves, great staff, cant wait to come back!”

“This is an awesome spot run by surfers for surfers of all ages. Been twice would kill for a third. Of all my trips this place is my favourite. Surfed my brains out ate like a horse and came back 4 kilos lighter & stronger both times. Nothing uncommon about 3 to 4 sessions a day from sunrise to sunset everyday. Highly recommend.”

“Just a quick note that we all had a fantastic time and were all commenting how great the resort, waves and staff were.

Really great experience can’t wait to come back.”

Thanks for a great stay recently!

“This place has it all. My surf guide Adam was so good. The boys and I had a great time. Cheers Lat Zero.”

“Back Again – not sure at 66 will be able to do this again. Paddling around Indian Ocean with my three sons, a lifetime memory – thanks RLZ.”

“Passed through for the AFL Grand Final. Great hospitality. Yacht Alderbarow Bay. Cheers.”

“After multiple trips the “Good Ship RLZ” and all who sail her never cease to impress! This trip was an absolute cracker in every way. We surfed until we couldn’t surf anymore! My smiling muscles are as sore as my arms!

I’ve said it before but I honestly can’t imagine how you could do it any better. Surfing the way it should be!! Well done.”

Well, we’re all settling back into the work grind, but the stoke will last a lifetime. Just wanted to pass on a huge thanks for our amazing stay at RLZ. Our expectations were high before we arrived, but we were absolutely blown away by the setup – and as a bonus, the surf pumped!

The resort is amazing, and Wal, Chad and all the staff did everything possible to keep the stoke level high – fantastic. You guys have put together a great place and team to ensure the perfect surf trip. Also, the two surf guides we had – Smanny and Seagull -these guys are absolute legends. So generous with their time and advice, giving us all great tips on each spot, calling us into waves well beyond our comfort level and genuinely stoked to see us catching waves – they did everything possible to get us into the best waves all day every day, nothing was a problem. Just great friendly guys who were a pleasure to go surfing with. And with Firry and Roi on board, it was good banter and laughs all day. Legends.

Best surf trip ever? Definitely – 10 days x 6 hours a day x nil crowds x perfect waves = pure stoke. Once again, thanks heaps. Stay surfing.

“There’s a pulse coming!”

Wow, what a great trip, hats off to all of you on providing a great place, empty waves and good times all round.

I got back a week ago and showed some mates photos of resort and waves, needless to say the call is in for a trip next year.

“Awesome time, great hospitality from the staff, fulfilled a dream. Shall return.”

“Another Level. Staff have everything covered. Great room, food, service. 5 stars.”

“Just a short note to say that you have some really great guys and gals at RLZ. Wal does a great job at running the show and making the guests feel very welcome. Andrew is a great surf guide and along with “Furry” made my visit the most memorable yet. Andrew really does make a tremendous effort to make the long hours on the boat as fun as possible. He makes sure that all of the guys on the boat get their fair share of waves and laughs. Santi and Dewi do a great job that after a hard days surfing that all the guests are fed and watered. I am looking forward to my Jan trip.”

“Just wanted to say g’day and let you know what an awesome trip I had last week. We were obviously lucky with the swell, waves were phenomenal and a special mention to Sman and Swilly who were great value and fantastic company. Also to the other staff Julian, Firry, Santi, Dewi, Wayo (don’t know spelling) and the chefs. As a first trip to Indo it would be hard to surpass but will certainly try to repeat it, this time with some mates for next year. I will be in touch again.”

“I would like to convey my appreciation and gratefulness to the way in which your RLZ is run, my son Joel and myself had an amazing 7 days on your island and will definitely be back in 2015 with Kong’s Academy. We would like to personally thank Wal, Sman, Swilly, Julie, Santi ,Adam and all staff for their hospitality and professionalism over our complete stay.

Swilly is very professional and hard working and depicted our trip with amazing photos in and out of the water. There was nothing more we could have asked for or needed and the experience of Sman and Adam in the boats ensured a hassle and injury free adventure for our sons at all times. The food was amazing and the Bintangs icy cold and with water temp of 25 degrees it was truly an island paradise.

You should be very proud of what you have achieved in building such an amazing resort in such a remote location, as well as provide staff with such a constant generous and friendly attitude.”

“Thanks for all your help in arranging our trip. It was absolutely first class the whole way and all the boys had a fantastic time. Special thanks to Seagull and S man who were great guys. The attention to detail and overall quality of the whole package (staff, resort, boats, food etc. etc) will make it impossible to go anywhere else, so look forward to returning in 2 years time!!”

“Snapped 3 boards, got the squints and the best barrel of my life. Stoked !!”

“Thanks for everything. To the staff, awesome work and the best place to spend our 40th B Day. The food, drinks, accommodation, staff are second to none and the waves were just as good. See you in another 10 years for the 50th.”

“Amazing Resort. Love it. Love Larry. Best waves, awesome animals would love to come back.”

“Best waves I’ve ever surfed. Best Resort. Best food / drinks. Bye Bye Larry.” (9 years old)

“Best Resort I’ve stayed at, with EPIC waves and great food. All the staff are legends, would definitely come back just to surf Ranga’s.”

“We have just returned from our stint at RLZ and we are all amazed with the place. So much so I was after some package details for next year.”

“Great trip! Thanks to all the RLZ. My son and I had the experience of a lifetime. We’ll be back! The surf was epic and everyone involved made the experience top notch.”
