Perfect Wave Customer Reviews

Connect To Your Passion

Somewhere around the world right now, someone is scoring the perfect wave! It could be a deluxe surf charter in the Mentawai or Maldives, on a barrelling reef break, at a luxury resort on an isolated island in the South Pacific. Maybe a perfect point break in front of a full-service surf camp in South Africa, Morocco or Mexico! We've spent years finding perfect waves, developing a seamless travel experience and working with the world's best surf operators to ensure you surf your perfect wave.

Award Winning World Class Customer Service

As a growing company, it is very important to continue the core values that have been the basis of the business since start up. These define who we are and what we stand for as an organization. Here are Perfect Wave Travel’s 10 commandments:

Customer Service Promise
Our number one priority at the Perfect Wave is to deliver the world’s best customer service to ensure our clients have the best surf trip of their life. We become so emotionally involved with the surf experiences we create, that we share in the excitement, anticipation and pure stoke of our customers. We will go above and beyond our customer’s expectations to create lifelong RAVING FANS.

Culture
Perfect Wave is a culture of highly motivated and ambitious team players who are encouraged to take initiative and care about the organization like it’s their own. Perfect Wave believes that the business is the people in it, and so incentivizes and rewards success to attract the best. Perfect Wave does not tolerate mediocrity full stop. Our environment needs to be an environment of positivity, consideration and encouragement, with solutions not problems voiced daily.

Create Fun
We choose where we work and enjoy what we do. We believe you should never take life too seriously to not have some fun each day. We encourage each other to create and initiate fun and social activities. We also encourage all staff to congratulate each other on their achievements. Perfect Wave celebrates all achievements with unbridled enthusiasm. We believe a happy work environment produces an amazing experience for both the team member and our clients.

Innovation and Creativity
We strive to always be one step ahead and constantly innovate to improve and streamline our surf experiences, systems and environment. We look outside the square to find solutions and encourage positive ‘can do’ attitudes.

Honesty and Integrity
Perfect Wave builds strong relationships within our team; with our partners; and our customers, based on honesty and integrity. Perfect Wave believes relationships are the cornerstone of any enterprise; and the basis of any successful relationship is loyalty and trust. Our reputation is our most valued asset.

Communication
Too much is never enough. Two of the most important words to us are Clarify and Verify and we live by ensuring nothing is left to assumption. Communication is sharing information and knowledge. Communication is also asking questions and listening – to make sure we know our customers like friends, so we can find them their perfect holiday experience.

Growth and Learning
Perfect Wave demands an open mindset from all team members as we know this is required for growth and improvement. Within our team we train and be trained; and we actively promote external opportunities to improve ourselves, both for business and personally.

Live Life With Passion
Passion is everything in this business and everything in life. This means giving 110% in everything we do…..at work, in the surf, and in our personal lives. We are all surfers and travelers, which is what makes us so passionate about what we do.

Team Values
Perfect Wave promotes a team spirit where everyone helps and looks after each other. We are a family unit that respects each other’s differences and encourages each other to achieve their goals. We pool together our knowledge and our skills to create an unbeatable team.

Contribution
It is essential for us to contribute where possible to the amazing places and people that we visit ourselves and send our clients. We understand that we visit and surf in other peoples countries and that we need to be respectful of their cultures, environment and ideology. We will also encourage all our clients to also follow the same mantra and to contribute where possible.
