Itinerary
Your kite surfing journey begins with a warm welcome at Paje Beach, one of Zanzibar’s most iconic kite surfing hubs.
You’ll meet your instructor for a quick briefing on wind patterns, safety tips, and equipment setup. Beginners start with beach-based training — learning how to control the kite and balance before heading into the water.
Once comfortable, you’ll hit the lagoon for your first water session. The steady trade winds and shallow, sandy bottom make it an ideal spot to learn or practice tricks. For experienced riders, the open ocean awaits — with long, smooth runs and plenty of space to play.
Relax between rides, enjoy fresh coconuts, and take in the stunning coastal views. Full-day guests can continue riding, join a freestyle session, or simply unwind on the beach as the sun begins to set.
Whether you choose a short session or a full day of kite-fueled fun, the experience promises an unbeatable mix of adventure, freedom, and Zanzibar magic.

Posted on Jess RTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great few days with Nassor around Zanzibar. Even though we were a large group of adults the car was very comfortable & spacious, with seatbelts for everyone. Nassor was very knowledgeable & informative, and took us safely to some very out of the way locations (Bwejuu mangrove kayaking, Mangapawni beach) without being a bit fased. Very glad we had him navigating the crazy traffic for us!!Posted on Michel BuchnerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nassor (Ronaldo) is a great laid back personality telling you all kinds of nice information about the area, the people and its customs.
