    We had a really great experience at this surf school! The instructors were very clear, patient, and explained everything really well. They made sure everyone understood what to do and created a fun and relaxed atmosphere. We learned a lot and really enjoyed the lesson. Would definitely recommend this surf school!

    It was so easy to get in touch and they were quick to get back to me. Booking a surfing lesson was a breeze. The instructor was fantastic, I learnt heaps and it’s a great spot for beginners! We’d definitely recommend it!

  • 5Great experience, especially for kids

    Explora were brilliant! We had 8 hours of surf lessons across 4 days for 3 of us. My 2 boys, aged 5 and 8, loved the lessons and my husband and I were able to take it in turns and swapped in and out. It was all really well organised and communication was great. Imad was exceptional with my boys and they loved the surfing lessons they had with him. He was patient, encouraging and got us all standing up on the boards. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the lessons to anyone.

About Essaouira

Essaouira is a windswept Atlantic port in Morocco, a walled medina of blue boats, ramparts with old cannon and craftsmen working in thuya wood.

Essaouira was laid out in the 1760s under Sultan Mohammed III, who had a European engineer design a fortified port with a grid of streets inside high walls, now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The Skala de la Ville, a rampart lined with bronze and iron cannon, looks over the Atlantic, and the harbour below is crowded with blue fishing boats and screaming gulls. Orson Welles filmed scenes of Othello here.
