You are taught by Mohamed Achhibat, Moroccan National Kitesurf Champion 2025 and Moroccan Strapless Champion 2026. He is IKO certified and has taught on this coast for over eight years — you are learning from someone who competes at national level, not a seasonal instructor passing through. Lessons run at Diabat rather than the town beach. It is wider, emptier, free of rocks, and the side-shore wind is noticeably cleaner. It is where locals send beginners for a reason. Essaouira's northeast trade winds blow 15 to 25 knots from March to October and build like clockwork around 11am, so sessions rarely fall through for lack of wind. If a day does not deliver, you can reschedule or switch to a surf lesson. Groups stay small, every student wears a helmet and impact vest on a quick-release system, and the kite fleet — Duotone, Reedin and North — is renewed each season.

Leaving the coastal charm of Essaouira behind, we venture inland into the rugged countryside, where few visitors ever tread. Along the way, we pause at an abandoned Kasbah, a once-fortified dwelling now standing quietly in the landscape, almost forgotten by time and tourism. Our path then leads us on a gentle hike to a hilltop shrine overlooking a serene lake and rolling hills scattered with ancient Argan trees. At the summit, we explore the shrine before settling beneath the shade of an Argan tree to enjoy a picnic lunch and traditional Moroccan tea, surrounded by the tranquil beauty of the region. Discovering the surrounding region will allow you to gain insider knowledge of the history, memorable encounters with nature and a deeper understanding for history of Essaouira. This tour is for people that have an appreciation for hiking in nature and are interested in exploring local heritage.
