Amazing! - Had an amazing time kitesurfing with Explora Water Sports in Tarifa! We booked semi-private lessons, which were perfect since I was traveling with friends. You get lots of personal attention, but it’s also fun to share the experience and progress together.
The instructors were super friendly, helpful, and professional, and they really made sure we felt safe and confident on the water. Highly recommend this school if you’re looking for quality lessons in a relaxed and positive atmosphere!

Amazing day of surfing - We had an amazing morning. I went with some friends and from the beginning they adapted to our schedule since we did not sleep in Tarifa.
The class was super fun, ideal for beginners like us. Julian, the instructor who touched us, was attentive and patient, we loved it, especially my...
We finished the class happy and looking forward to coming back soon. Super recommended!!!

One of the best trips with friends that is a must! - After getting in touch with Gabri about two months before our trip to Tarifa, he helped me and my group of nine friends book kite lessons tailored to each of our levels, along with amazing accommodation right in the heart of Tarifa's old town.
One thing we really appreciated was the flexibility throughout the week. We could easily adjust the number of hours or switch between group, semi-private, and private lessons depending on how we were progressing and what worked best for us.
It was my first time ever kiting, and Julek was an incredible instructor. He was super clear, endlessly patient, and just as excited about our progress as we were. My friend and I took semi-private lessons, and within just three days we were already standing up on the board. By day four, we were covering long distances during the full 3-hour sessions.
I definitely recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Tarifa. We’ll absolutely be back!

Great kiteschool maximum fun! - Na een aantal teleurstellende ervaringen toch nog een laatste poging gewaagd om te leren kite surfen. En wat een geluk dat we dit gedaan hebben! Wat een geweldige week samen met het team van Gabri!
Dit is een kite school waar de klant centraal staat. Elke dag proberen ze, afhankelijk van de wind condities het best eruit te halen zodat je een maximale ervaring hebt. Met Oso hadden we een uistekende instructeur die elke dag opnieuw met veel geduld, passie en humor zijn lessen aanpaste aan onze progressie. Hij haalde er steeds het maximale uit zonder onze veiligheid en die van anderen uit het oog te verliezen.
Explora Watersports Tarifa is een echet aanrader waar we zonder aarzelen terug zullen boeken.
Bedankt voor de toffe week and keep the good work Gabri en team!
After a number of disappointing experiences, we made one last attempt to learn kite surfing. And how lucky we were to have done this! What a great week together with Gabri and his team!
This is a kite school where the customer is placed central. Every day, depending on the wind conditions, they try to get the best out of it so that you have a maximum experience. With Oso we had an excellent instructor who adapted his lessons to our progress every day with a lot of patience, passion and humor. He always got the most out of it without losing sight of our safety and those of others.
Explora Watersports Tarifa is highly recommended and we will book back without hesitation.
Thanks for the great week and keep the good work Gabri and team!

Here you feel super cared for - Top Kiteschool - I wanted to learn kiting during my holiday and in retrospect I am super happy that I chose the boys and girls from Explora. From the first contact good communication, fair offer and super flexible. During the lessons, the material is adapted to the student and the wind conditions, so that you can get the best out of the lessons and feel safe. Individual and concrete feedback in every situation brings rapid learning success, and motivating support in case of difficulties. You get the feeling you're not just some student here.
I would always decide again and recommend Gabri and his team to anyone who wants to learn kiting.
We will definitely come back.

Super competent kite school - We came to Tarifa with little prior knowledge (wakeboarding/swimming) for 10 days to learn kitesurfing.
Gabri and Marcel are very competent, reliable and take their cause as kite instructors really seriously. We had about 1-2.5 hours of course daily.
Equipment, such as kites or wetsuits, were in perfect condition.
It is highly recommended to take private or semi-private courses. Since the learning effect is significantly higher and faster.
We will definitely come back!

Had a fantastic week and learned a lot! - After several lessons in the Netherlands, we decided to continue in Tarifa. Via via we came to Explora and we really liked this! Gabri and Marcel are really great, skilled instructors. Besides learning kitesurfing ourselves, we also learned a lot about the wind, safety and environment. If you are still looking for a kite school, small-scale and with a lot of personal attention, this is the right place for you. We will be back soon!!
