It sits near a stunning string of smaller islands, all with great uncrowded surf – starting right at your front door. You can enjoy waves that few other surfers have sampled – as well as plenty more yet to be discovered. We book a maximum of 6 surfers at a time in order to keep the line-ups uncrowded. Chopon Surf Lodge is owned and run by the local community at Kichopon who are the traditional own
ers of the land and managed by an Australian surfer and artist who fell in love with this special part of the world. The lodge is available to artists for residencies outside the surf season. Staying at Chopon offers you the chance to experience an authentic island lifestyle that very few non-locals have ever been part of. As a guest of the Chopon Surf Lodge you will be welcomed and embraced as an active member of the village. You can take part in daily routines such as fishing for your dinner, or go snorkeling with the locals in between surfs on beautiful, uncrowded waves. Chopon Surf Lodge is a once in a life-time experience where you can holiday off-grid, while supporting surfing and traditional community life on Manus Island. We welcome questions and booking inquiries.
