Wingfoiling Holidays To Essaouira
Essaouira is a very culturally interesting place, with masses of tradition throughout the old town. The fascinating culture combined with the reliable, strong winds and excellent waves, make Essaouira a great Wingfoiling holiday for the more advanced Wingfoiler. It is possible to learn to Wingfoil in Essaouira, as there is an excellent Wingfoiling school, but it is a challenging spot for a beginner.
Planet offers tailor-made tours in Morocco to combine a beach stay with other parts of the country, including the cities of Marrakech, Fez, and Casablanca, as well as stay in the Atlas Mountains and surrounding areas. Combining a Wingfoiling holiday to Essaouira with Surfing in Taghazout (just a 3-hour drive away), or a trip to Dakhla Lagoon is possible. Please see our suggested tour itineraries for examples or speak to an expert travel advisor for a personalised itinerary.

Best of Dakhla - East vs West lagoon
From £1,300 ppDakhla is one of the best windsurf / Kitesurf / Wing Foiling locations on the Planet, but your experience will be very much determined by the specific property (and it's location). Sometimes it's hard to choose, so don't! This tour combines 2 opposite sides of the lagoon, in our 2 favourite accommodations, giving you the best of both worlds. You can extend your time in Dakhla with Casablanca, Marrakech, Atlas Mountains, Agadir (surfing at Taghazout) or Fez. Speak to an expert who can put together your perfect itinerary.

We lose sleep so you don’t.
We take every booking personally. Once your wing foil trip is booked, this is what we do.
Your payments are protected
Your money is paid into a trust account and held there until after your holiday, so it never sits in our business. If we ever stopped trading, you'd get it back.
Lessons and kit booked before you go
Your wing and foil hire or lessons are confirmed with the centre before you fly, along with flights, transfers and the room you picked.
We call before you fly
We go through documents and visas, and whether to bring your own wing and foil or hire out there. It's a proper chat with the person who booked your trip.
One WhatsApp number, any hour
Missed connection, room not right, a lesson to move because the wind dropped. Message or call and you'll get someone who already knows your booking.
Ask a wing foiler where to go.
Tell us your dates and how far you've got with foiling. We'll come back with spots and hotels that suit your level, usually within one working day.
