    What a great, friendly vibe Explora Watersports has. Always welcoming on arrival, all the staff, greeted with smiles. Our tutor, Karim, show loads of patience and humour guiding us with surfing and kite surfing. Very knowledgeable and super friendly kind guy. Highly recommend Explora Watersports and I will certainly visit again.

    Very good vibes. It was a easy to communicate, the staff was friendly and helpful with advice & planning, flexible with payment options and trusted our friend group to pay only a small initial deposit on Day 1, and the final balance only at the very end of all sessions. Instructors were patient during lessons. For the 3 days we took lessons, we almost felt a part of the "family". Would come back again if we're ever in Essaouira

    I had a fantastic time with Explora! They are family friendly and super flexible. Some days we just hired surf boards and wet suits and others we had kite surfing lessons. Our instructor was excellent, his explanations were the perfect combination of letting you understand the overall goal and knowing what to do right now! They also organised other activities for us and we were able to re-fuel in their delicious restaurant next door; Panoramic. I highly recommend Explora! 👏👏 👏👏👏

    Today, my husband and I had an unforgettable experience with Explora Watersports. As first-time surfers, we were lucky to have the best and handsome (indeed) instructor, Anass, to guide us through the lesson. His professionalism and expertise made our introduction to the surfing truly amazing. In just two hours, we were able to stand up on the board. Explora Watersports truly knows how to deliver an exceptional experience.

    My fiancé and I recently embarked on a thrilling adventure at the Kite Surfing Club in Essaouira, Morocco, and I can confidently say that it was an experience of a lifetime! With absolutely no previous kite surfing knowledge, we enrolled in a 21-hour course to become autonomous in kite, and the outcome exceeded our expectations. From the moment we stepped foot into the club, we were greeted by a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The staff members were friendly, approachable, and incredibly knowledgeable about kite surfing. Our instructor, Karim, deserves special recognition for his outstanding guidance and expertise. Karim’s passion for kite surfing was contagious, and his teaching methods were truly exceptional. He carefully tailored the course to suit our individual needs, ensuring that we progressed at a comfortable pace while challenging ourselves to new heights. Despite having no prior experience, Karim’s patience and encouragement empowered us to become confident kite surfers in just 21 hours. The location of the club couldn’t have been more perfect. Essaouira’s picturesque coastline provided the ideal setting for learning and practicing kite surfing. The pristine sandy beaches, along with the consistent wind conditions, offered the perfect playground for adrenaline-fueled water adventures. The club itself was well-equipped with top-notch kite surfing gear, ensuring our safety and enhancing our overall experience. The equipment was in excellent condition, and the club’s commitment to maintenance and safety measures was evident. In addition to the exceptional instruction and ideal location, the Kite Surfing Club also provided fantastic amenities. The facilities were clean and well-maintained, and the club’s staff members were always on hand to assist with any inquiries or concerns. Overall, our time at the Kite Surfing Club in Essaouira was an absolute delight. Thanks to Karim’s expert guidance and the club’s remarkable offerings, we left with a newfound passion for kite surfing and unforgettable memories. We wholeheartedly recommend this club to anyone seeking an unforgettable kite surfing experience in Morocco. It’s the perfect blend of professional instruction, stunning surroundings, and warm hospitality. We can’t wait to return for more exhilarating adventures!

    I had an incredible experience with the Explora Watersports team. I booked a kitesurfing beginners course with a friend and everything ran very smoothly. The instructors were very well-skilled and knowledgeable. You could really feel that they loved their job. Communication was good and in multiple languages. Accommodation provided at Bianca Guest House was beautiful and the staff were so welcoming. I cannot wait to return!

    I spent a bit over a week kiting in Essaouira in April 2022, renting my gear and taking some lessons at Explora. The team there is super friendly and the equipment I got was always top-notch. They offered a variety of the newest Duotone kites and boards, giving me the chance to test out a lot of different material. The conditions at the kitespot, although not always easy to ride due to a steadily changing combination of waves and sometimes gusty winds, offered me ideal conditions to develop my strapless abilities and to get more comfortable kiting in small to medium waves. If the wind is low, I can also highly recommend taking a surfing lesson or two, since the spot offers great conditions for beginner to intermediate wavesurfers. The teaching was excellent and I managed to pop up and surf standing up from day one.

    Thanks too Nasser and his whole Team at Explora Morroco we had the very best holiday possible. Essaouira is amazing because it has a mix of everything that is good. Amazing exotic culture and life in the streets (make sure to check out Gnaua music). Absolutely great kite spot with flat water between gently waves and constant winds for kitesurfing. Good waves for beginners wave surfers in front of the station or amazing waves for surfing experts close by. The Explora morroco center has equipment for everything you need. We surfed in the morning and kitesurfed in the afternoon. What really impressed us was the kite service at the center and also the amazing recommendations for food we got from the manager Ananas. We will be back soon – hopefully to stay longer. Choukran Explora Morroco.

    Big thanks to Nasser, Medhi Simon and the team at Explora for a great few days of kiting. A really friendly group, made us feel relaxed and like one of the team from day one. Would highly recommend Explora to anyone about to set of on their journey in to the world of kiting. If we ever find ourselves in Essaouira again, Explora will be the first stop. Thanks again to all the team

    "Incredible Kitesurfing school" What an incredible time I spent with Explora water sports family. After seeing so many great reviews, I contacted them and it so easy and smooth. I booked 12 hours semi-private kitesurfing lesson and from the first day I feel so welcomed! the team, literally everyone is super nice, kind and helpful. I enjoyed every single lessons and made so many friends. My kitesurfing instructor, Hoummadi, he is just incredible, so patient, knows exactly what he is doing and he actually made me a kitesurfer by the end of my lessons! I couldn't believe it! Now, I can ride the waves. Thank you so much my friend! Last but not least, the management, Nass and Anas, thank you so much for been flexible with me and making me feel like at home! Thank you! I can't wait to go back to this beautiful town of Essaouira and kitesurfing with you all again!

    My son had a lovely week surfing at Explora. The whole team are very warm and friendly, especially Anas, who is great with kids. Unlike most other surf schools, the lessons at Explora are tailored to the surfer’s level and focused on helping them progress.

  • 5/5 Andres K. 1 year ago on Google
    Used Explora services during our 2 months family-stay in Essaouira for surf (for adults and kids) and kitesurf lessons and for equipment rental. Really satisfied with the experiences in all cases - friendly staff, good quality equipment, professional instructors etc. Staff talks good english. As a kite instructor I can recommend Karim - lessons where fun and the he managed to split the skills required for kitesurfing so that it was easy to follow and practice. Thanks!

    Me and my friend had an amazing time kiting at Explora. We stayed at Riad Bianca (arranged by Explora) in the Medina, which was a beautiful Riad with amazing food. We have met great people both at the Riad and in the surf school. We really felt like home and spent hours hanging out at the surf school and restaurant before and after our kite lessons. We booked a 10hrs package with Simo and we progressed a lot. He is not only a really good kiter, but also a good teacher. He made sure we felt comfortable with the kite and in the water and he took care of us all time. We really recommend!

    My wife and I spontaneously decided to take a surfing lesson with Karim at Explora. In short: It was a perfect experience. We had little to no knowledge, so we started with some short basics and then he took us into the waves. He had a good eye for the small and big mistakes we made and his tips helped a lot. In two hours we both made more progress then we exspected, had plenty of time on the board and a lot of fun. We highly recommend!
