Not great.......
I wanted to like this company. The reviews were really good. The sign up process and paying the deposit was great. After that though, the communication was an issue as was safety. I totally realize that when doing kitesurfing, you are at the mercy of the wind. The wind was finicky during our trip. We were however, constantly being pushed off by a few hours for multiple days which made it impossible to book any other activities. The communication on this was not great as we could have easily booked activities in the morning waiting for the afternoon wind. We booked a private lesson for one, and a semi private lesson for two of us. Unfortunately, one of us in the semi private lesson had an injury so could not kite surf on the first day. We didn't find out until we got to the beach that they only gave us one instructor despite having booked a private lesson. We were at different levels and would have preferred to keep the two instructors as planned. Maybe our instructor was having a bad few days, but we found him extremely impatient, frustrated with our efforts and condescending- he was not fun, engaging or interested. Because we were at different levels, he had difficulty keeping an eye on both of us. Kiteboarding is a challenging sport to learn and I absolutely take full responsibility for my own learning, however, despite asking many times and with different people to make sure we got a full review of safety skills that didn't really happen. Our instructor realized we needed better review after an accident occurred resulting in a fractured leg in the first hour of the lesson. Yes, we were charged for the 2 hours remaining of the lesson despite this. The following day, there was not really enough wind to get out of the water, so the two who could take lessons ended up doing 2 hours but never really progressed. In reality, those lessons shouldn't have taken place with the lack of wind. I did reach out to the company after we got home and informed them of the fractured leg and soft tissue injuries. I never heard back from them regarding our experience. I don't like to write negative reviews, as I know it impacts people's livelihoods. I would be cautious with this company, ask a lot of questions and possibly look at other alternatives. For what it's worth, the equipment seemed good and the people other than our instructor were friendly and amiable.
Response from the operator: Hello, You are mistaken !!!!!!!! Your comment is in the WRONG PLACE, Please check the name of the school where you had your kite experience Here in BLEUKITE the safety is our priority

great experience, awesome Teacher
We had 10 surf sessions with Imad- one of the Teachers - and it was amazing. We never kited before and with Imads teaching, instruction and good words we both managed to stand up and kite. Imad always answered all our questions with patiance and didnt stopped helping us with tips and tricks. Awesome teacher. The planning for the best time to kite regarding the wind conditions was done by Fajr. He even drove us back from the beach with a quad so we didn't had to walk all the way back to the surf school. We felt very welcome and we‘re so happy we spent our money not for unnecessary souvenirs but for learning something new. 😊
Response from the operator: Hi The ! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us this awesome review ! I hope we get the chance to see you again soon , if there is anything i can be of assistance with in the futur., please let me know ! Thanks again Team Bleukite Essaouira

Amazing school ! Thank you Imad :)
Bleukite offered me the best learning conditions I could hope for ! The boards, kites and wetsuits were brandnew and every session (8*2h = 16hours in total) I could learn more. I had the luck to have the same instructor (Imad !) follow me through the whole course... at the end I could stand up on the board and surf for big distances -big for a beginner :) - in both directions, as well as a bit of upwind surfing. The school staff itself is warm and welcoming, very flexible and adjusted to my schedule and weather conditions. Prices are clearly below what you would pay in Europe for solo courses. Thank you Bleukite ! cheers, Yves
Response from the operator: Hi Yves, Thank you so much for this amazing testimony, Bleukite Essaouira team specialy Imad appreciate your amazing review. we hope to see you again in the future for more kitesurfing and more adventures.

Wingfoil initiation: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Essaouira.
How much does Wingfoil initiation cost?
+
Prices start at $126 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 Wingfoil initiation 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 Wingfoil initiation worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 20 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 Wingfoil initiation?
+
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 Wingfoil initiation 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 Wingfoil initiation?
+
Around 7 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 Wingfoil initiation 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 Wingfoil initiation?
+
Included: Wingfoil leash; Certified instructors; IKO Card Certification; Helmet; and wetsuit. Not included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
What languages is Wingfoil initiation offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, English and French. 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 Wingfoil initiation?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Wingfoil initiation wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Wingfoil initiation if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Wingfoil initiation?

Across 20 reviews averaging 4.9 out of 5, recurring themes include small groups. The group size is repeatedly described as intimate rather than packed.
