Swellyo – Plan & Join Surf Trips The best surf trips don't happen alone. Swellyo is where surf travelers plan trips, join crews, and chase swells together — from a weekend down the coast to a month in Indo. Find your trip, build your crew, and go. Explore Surf Trips Around the World Browse real trips to real breaks, happening right now. Filter by destination, dates, surf level, and vibe, then see exactly how each trip runs before you join. No guesswork — just trips worth packing for. Three Ways to Travel Every trip on Swellyo runs one of three ways, so you always know what you're signing up for: Crew — a trip with friends. Plan it together and vote on the big calls. Captain — someone's got the plan, and surfers hop on to bring it to life. Operator — pro surf trip businesses, fully set, so you join knowing exactly what to expect. Plan Your Own Trip Got a wave in mind? Create a trip in minutes. Set the destination and dates, choose how you want to run it, and open it up — surfers request to join, and your crew comes together around the trip you built. Sort the Gear, Together Stop the group-chat chaos. Build a shared packing and gear list, track who's bringing what, and request the boards, wetsuits, and extras the crew still needs. Show up with everything covered. One Place for the Whole Crew Trip chat, plans, and everyone who's coming — all in one place. Share local knowledge, lock in the details, and keep the whole crew in sync from first idea to final session. Join Swellyo. Build the trip. Find your crew.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: UO Access Shuttle at none against Swellyo's shown. Swellyo's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
