Amazing day wing surfing with explora
My girlfriend and I visited explora in August 2023. We booked through GetYourGuide, but I recommend going to their shop and researching all of the options because they have some incredible lessons on offer. We originally had booked a two hour kite surfing lesson, but upon realizing that it would be impossible to learn how to kitesurf in one day, Explora was very accommodating. They recommended other fun lessons we could participate in where we could get in the water quickly. They recommended Wing Foiling. Essaoui was our guide and he was amazing. He gave us a very informative, and easy to understand lesson on the beach, and then he took us to the water. He was encouraging, friendly, helpful and funny. He challenged us when we needed it, and made us feel safe and secure out in the ocean. I would HIGHLY recommend Explora Watersports for any activity, and you should request Essaoui if he’s available. He is fluent in French and his English is excellent as well! We will definitely come back next time we are in Essaouira.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this awesome feedback. Thank you for your honesty. We are super happy to hear that our mission has been accomplished and that you had a great experience in Essaouira with us. We hope to see you again soon maybe to kite this time :)

Fantastic watersports centre with a great vibe
We've had an absolutely fantastic time learning to windsurf at Explora. We booked a last minute trip to Essaouira whilst on holiday in Marrakech. I called up Explora after finding them on the internet and spoke to the owner Nasser who was very helpful in talking through options for windsurfing lessons. On arrival, we found the watersports centre to be really well equipped and staffed by friendly and helpful English speaking instructors. There's a lovely beach cafe / restaurant looking out to the sea where the non windsurfers chilled out whilst we were on the water. Our instructors Essaoui and Anwar were professional and friendly and soon got all six of us up to speed on our windsurfers. My kids (ages 14 - 9) especially were inspired by their cool beach vibes and couldn't wait until their next lessons. The whole centre had a great vibe to it with windsurfers, kite surfers and kitefoilers all hanging out. Big thanks to the team :)
Response from the operator: We are delighted to hear about your incredible experience learning to windsurf at Explora! It's wonderful to know that your last-minute trip to Essaouira turned out to be so memorable. Nasser, the owner, truly made a positive impression with his helpfulness in guiding you through the windsurfing lesson options. We're thrilled that our school exceeded your expectations in terms of equipment and the welcoming presence of English-speaking instructors. It's fantastic to hear that Essaoui and Anwar, your instructors, showcased a perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness. The fact that they successfully brought all six of you, including kids aged 9 to 14, up to speed in windsurfing is truly rewarding. Our mission is to provide you with the best experience! We will make sure to pass on your appreciation to the entire team at Explora for making your experience truly exceptional. Thank you for choosing Explora for your windsurfing adventure. We hope to welcome you back for more memorable moments in the future!

Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Essaouira.
How much does Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira cost?
+
Prices start at $148 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Essaouira usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Essaouira is not rushed.
Is Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Essaouira, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Essaouira can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Essaouira and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Essaouira within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Essaouira?
+
On Outty we rank every Essaouira experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 hours ride on camel at sunset, 3-hour camel ride at sunset, Essaouira: 2-Hour Beach & Dunes Quad Tour with Tea. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Essaouira?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Essaouira?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira?
+
Included: Full windsurf Equipment and Wetsuit. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira?
+
We are lucky that our centre is located right on the beach, the other side of the bay from the old town at the optimum spot for watersports. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira offered in?
+
It is offered in German, Arabic, English, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Windsurf Lessons Essaouira?
+
