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
Dakhla 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.

This tour combines Dakhla Lagoon with some of the key highlights of the rest of Morocco, including Casablanca, Marrakech and the Atlas Mountains. This is a great tour for families or couples who want to combine world-class ocean sports in Dakhla, with some of the main highlights of this amazing country.
