Program
7-Day Kitesurfing Adventure in Zanzibar: A Perfect Blend of Learning and Island Exploration
Your week in Zanzibar is not just about kitesurfing, it's an unforgettable adventure that lets you experience the best of the island while mastering the art of riding the wind. From your arrival to the moment you leave, Aquaholics staff will ensure you have an incredible time, both on and off the water.
Day 1: Arrival & Welcome
Upon arrival at Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, your personal driver will be there to welcome you and take you on a 1-hour drive to the vibrant village of Paje, where you'll be staying at Ebb & Flow—just a stone's throw from the pristine kite lagoons. After settling in, you'll meet the Aquaholics team for a friendly welcome briefing to discuss your goals and the schedule for your kitesurfing lessons. Relax, unwind, and take some time to explore your surroundings. If the wind is right, your first lesson will begin the following day.
Days 2-7: Kitesurfing Lessons & Fun
Each day, you'll dive into 1-3 hours of kitesurfing lessons, depending on the tides, wind conditions, and whether you're in a group or private lesson. With the steady trade winds and perfect conditions in Paje, you’ll quickly see progress as you learn new techniques, build your confidence, and enjoy the thrill of riding.
Whether you're a beginner or looking to advance your skills, your lessons will be tailored to your needs, so you can improve at your own pace. By the end of the week, if you've reached a confident riding level, you'll have the chance to rent gear for your last few days to enjoy some independent kitesurfing sessions. If you're still not quite there, don’t worry—Aquaholics will provide additional lessons (extra cost) to ensure you're ready to kite confidently on your own.
Island exploration & alternative activities: Zanzibar isn’t just about kitesurfing—there’s a whole island to explore! When you are not on the water, you'll have the chance to enjoy other amazing activities, like wave surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, or even a local cultural tour to immerse yourself in Zanzibar’s rich history. The team will also help you plan a sunset dhow cruise or a trip to the Jozani Forest, so you can soak in the island's beauty when you're not on the water.
Relax & Unwind
After a kitesurfing lesson or exploring, return to Ebb & Flow to unwind by the pool, enjoy a refreshing drink, or head to a local restaurant to sample some fresh seafood and local dishes. With shops, bars, and restaurants just a short walk away, Paje offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure.
