Highlights
  • Explora Watersports: Kitesurf, Surfing and Windsurf Centre Essaouira Morocco - For the Semi Private Kite Lessons there will be 2 of you with one instructor, you will each have your own equipment.

If you are a beginner we would recommend between a 6 - 12 hour course so you have gone through the first three stages of learning how to kite, so you will have experienced your first ride on the board by the end of the course, the more lessons you take the further you will have progressed to be riding downwind, beginning to think about your posture and stance to ride up wind.

If you have limited time you can also try the 2 hour taster lesson which is a great introduction and a lot of fun.

If you have already kited before the lessons will be tailored to your level, you will meet the instructor before your first lesson so you can explain your experience, he will then agree the focus and objectives for the session

What's Included
  • Wetsuit and complete Kite Equipment provided
  • Includes Kite, Bar, Board, Harness, Helmet, and Life Vest

Great, safe, fun. Not so beginner friendly - Great experience, nice staff, good equipment, safe instructions. Meh Di was a great guide. However, I wouldn’t really recommend Essaouira as a great spot for kite surfing beginners due to the waves. You come further in your hours if the conditions are easier, though not in the hands of explore. Therefore, a great time!

Beginner kite surfing lesson with the excellent instructor Abdou! - We had a beginner kite surf lesson (3 hours) and it was so much fun but very hard. Abdou was our instructor and he was great - really fun, patient and kind to us especially when we needed instructions repeated many times! All the staff at explora watersports were really friendly and we loved it, so much so, we came back the next day to hire surf boards! Would recommend

Kitesurfing Lessons - Had a great few days out on the beach and water with Karim, a top class instructor so helpful and motivating throughout the session. All the staff were friendly and all the equipment was well looked after and in great condition.

Superb Kitesurfing lessons with Explora - Our instructor, Karim was excellent. He gave very clear instructions that were easy to follow. He demonstrated each move before we made it and explained how the whole process would develop to enable us to safely learn to kite surf. We learnt the safety techniques first, then took to the shallow water with our kite. Karim checked throughout the session that we were happy with how it was developing our knowledge. We felt very well looked after and would highly recommend Explora Watersports.

Incredible experience, I will be back! - I did the 6 night beginner kite package in Essaouira in May this year. It was such a fantastic trip, and I will definitely be returning in the future. The value you get in the package is incredible, the people I met and the experiences I had made it absolutely unforgettable. I enjoyed it so much that I actually extended my time in Essaouira, I found it really hard to leave! Explora has their base in a super convenient spot, right on the beachfront, meaning that setting up and starting the lesson is really efficient and you get maximum time on the water. From the moment you walk in, you feel like a part of the Explora family! Everybody is friendly and chatty, and there is always someone making you laugh or putting a smile on your face. You can tell that these guys love their jobs and are so passionate about what they do. Explora has really struck the perfect balance of a smooth, professional and efficient operation with relaxed and easygoing vibes. The 12 hours of lessons included in the package are super flexible, meaning that I could have a rest day if needed, and the lessons could be scheduled for the best conditions, ensuring I got the most out of my time. I chose the semi-private lessons, and because it wasn't too busy at that time of year, for many of my lessons I was lucky enough to be given one on one instruction. At the end of my lessons I received a certificate stating how many hours of instruction I had undertaken, and the level of kitesurfing that I had displayed. This certification means I can now hire kitesurfing equipment in the future, in many different locations all over the world. My instructor Simo was fantastic, he structured my lessons in a way that helped my progress quite quickly, and throughout the lessons I was able to go from a complete beginner (never flown a kite before), to confidently getting up and riding on my own, and even starting to ride upwind! Simo made me feel confident in my ability, he was directive when I needed a push out of my comfort zone, and supportive when I was struggling or frustrated. Each lesson he had new skills to work on, and shared new information with me, this meant that the lessons were interesting each day, and never felt repetitive or boring. I really appreciated that he taught me about many aspects of kitesurfing, not just the physical 'how to do it', but also some more in-depth information about equipment, safety, set up, reading conditions, etiquette, etc. This meant that by the end, I really felt like I was set up to pursue kitesurfing as a personal hobby (without being a liability to myself or other people!). Riad Bianca (the accommodation that was a part of my package) is such a beautiful place to stay. Zahira and Momo are so kind and warm, and made me feel at home straight away. The whole riad is neat and tidy, and it was really nice to have a relaxing space to return to after a busy day. The majority of people staying there were also doing lessons at Explora, creating a real community vibe that meant it was really easy to get chatting to people and make friends. The breakfast that is included every morning is absolutely amazing! Overall, the whole experience was incredible, and I can't recommend it enough! Every single aspect of the Explora package contributed to creating such a unique and memorable holiday. Thanks guys!

Unforgettable Kite Surfing Experience with Great Instruction - Our 21-hour kite surfing course at the Kite Surfing Club in Essaouira was an absolute thrill. Our instructor, Karim, made us confident kite surfers with no prior experience. His expertise and tailored approach were remarkable. The club’s location on Essaouira’s stunning coastline provided the perfect playground for water adventures, while the well-maintained facilities and top-notch gear ensured our safety. We were captivated by the warm hospitality and professionalism of the staff. This club offers an unforgettable kite surfing experience, blending expert instruction, picturesque surroundings, and lasting memories. Highly recommended!

Great place to learn to kitesurf - Super friendly place with a great setup; showers, changing, toilet, lockers and lots of smiling faces. Youssef has looked after us for 10 days and still has all his hair despite our best efforts. Many thanks to all the staff and we hope to come back again soon.

Best school in town! - I recently had the pleasure of taking explora watersport and had such a fun time! first of all the instructores are super cool (especially my Surfinstructor Anass )They are all highly trained instructors who know the ocean and the waves. They really take their time to get to know each student individually and their skill level weather you never surfed before or you already a pro. You definetly will feel welcomed and comfortable .
