Such an amazing experience! The whole team is incredibly kind, welcoming and professional. The instructors are very very patient, encouraging, and really help you improve while making every session so much fun. I couldn’t have asked for a better surf school. Thank you for this unforgettable week. I’m already planning my next trip!
Had an amazing time at Explora learning Kitesurfing. The instructors and the staff are super nice, welcoming and always helpful. I was lucky having Youssef as my instructor, who is really the best. Totally recommended and I’ll definitely come back again.
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled you had an amazing time and enjoyed your lessons with Youssef. We really appreciate your recommendation and can’t wait to welcome you back again!
Three days surf course with children aged 15 and 9 Ismail was an excellent instructor and was able to involve even the little Too bad I only had three days
Thank you so much for your feedback! We’re really happy to hear that you and your children enjoyed the surf lessons with Ismai, and we hope to welcome you back soon for more surf sessions!
Very friendly and it was a lot of fun. The surf instructors have a lot of patience. We would love to come back next time.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re really glad you had a great time and we’d love to welcome you again soon!
Our travel agent booked our surf lessons with an English speaking instructor, for three days. The first day we were joined by another guest. Our instructor was a bit too hands off for us. He was cheery enough but didn’t do much except show us a way of getting up the board. Then it was up to us. I got cold so was offered another wetsuit to wear which helped. It was fun to try but I really wanted more instruction. On our second day we were given Imad Karim as our instructor. He was excellent. I think surfing is in his soul through and through. His English was excellent. He showed us a different way to stand up which really helped. He was in the water with us, giving us excellent help about how to choose a wave and when to stand up. We improved no end. The last day we had Imad again which was so good. The continuity really helped. My husband got so much better and I think wants to go back. Thank you Imad for sharing your energy and passion with us. And thank you Explora for running such a slick operation. We would definitely recommend you
Had a great surf lesson today! Ismael was a Greta instructor that was very patient and always helpful with me to ride my first waves
Very nice, patient and flexible team! We had wing and surf lessons. Thanks to Ismael I can now surf and have a lot of fun! I'll definitely be back soon!
Abderrahman guided us through this beautiful experience in Essaouira helping us level up. I highly recommend him and the school. Everyone is very nice and welcoming
My father and I took a surflesson with Abderrahman and he was extremely helpful. His way of explaining things were for all levels understandable. Two hours were perfect for beginners because it’s really tiring. Can recommend him to anyone!
I tried surfing with Explora for the first time. What an amazing experience, I would definitely recommend taking your lessons from them. Explora has a unique atmosphere, the instructors are very experienced, knowledgeable and passionate about their job, which ensures that you have an efficient and very enjoyable lesson. I spent about 10 days in Essaoura and Explora became my happy place. Dear Explora family, see you again at the first opportunity. Thank you for everything ❤️
