FAQ

Questions? We've got answers

Everything you need to know about lessons, seasons, booking and life in Essaouira.

Where is KiteTripping located?

We are based in Essaouira, Morocco. The exact meeting point and directions are confirmed with every booking, and we are happy to be flexible about where we meet you.

When is the best time to visit Essaouira for water sports?

Essaouira works year-round. Wind sports (kitesurfing and wingfoil) are best from March to October, when the trade winds blow almost daily; surfing is most consistent from autumn to spring; yoga, horse riding and quad biking run all year.

Do I need experience to book a lesson?

Not at all. Most of our guests are complete beginners. We coach every level, from your very first wave or kite session to advanced technique.

How do I book, and do I pay online?

Use our booking form to tell us the activity, hours and date you want. We do not take payment on the website. We confirm availability by email within 24 hours and send you the payment details.

Can you create a custom package for me or my group?

Yes! Accommodation, lessons, transport, number of days: everything is flexible. Send us a message through the contact page and we will design a package around you within 24 hours.

Is equipment included in lessons?

Yes. Every lesson includes all the equipment you need (boards, kites, wings, wetsuits, helmets and mats), plus transport to the spot and photos of your session. Just bring swimwear, sunscreen and a towel.

What happens if there is no wind or the conditions are bad?

Safety first: if the conditions are not right, we reschedule your session or offer you an alternative activity, such as yoga, horse riding or quad biking.

How do I get to Essaouira from the airport?

Essaouira has its own airport (ESU) just 15 minutes from town, and Marrakech airport (RAK) is about 2.5 hours away. Our holiday packages include transfers, and we are happy to help arrange transport for lesson guests too.
