Blueye Explores has spent years curating high-end, experience-driven journeys to some of the world’s most iconic watersports destinations. With three consecutive years of returning to Chicama, our team brings intimate, hard-earned local knowledge of both the wave and the town—earned through time on the ground, season after season—at the longest left-hand wave on the planet.

For Blueye Explores Chicama, we bring together world-class waves, deep local expertise, and a perfectly curated plan built specifically for premium wave riding—an unforgettable wing and tow-foil experience where exploration, performance, and fun naturally converge.

Chicama itself is predominantly a fishing town that caters to water sports travelers, offering a uniquely authentic, laid-back backdrop for endless adventure. Our trips there are intentionally foiling-only, focusing on tow-foiling and wingfoiling what’s widely regarded as the world’s longest wave, where long, rolling left-hand swells allow for sessions as long as your legs can take. Morning tow-foil sessions seamlessly flow into afternoon wingfoiling when the wind rolls in, while the surrounding hills, cliffs, and arid landscapes create a stunning and wild visual backdrop at every shoreline.

Through Blueye, guests receive highly personalized guidance, ensuring wingers and foilers make the most of every session, conditions permitting. From reading swell, wind, and tides to dialing in equipment, launch timing, and session flow, every detail of the program is intentionally designed to elevate the quality of your time riding this legendary wave.

Beyond the water, Chicama offers a rich cultural experience—exceptional fresh seafood, warm local hospitality, and a slower rhythm that encourages recovery between sessions. Guests unwind in refined comfort at Hotel Los Delfines, which serves as a relaxed yet elevated base for the week.
