Found the school in december, but I could take only 2 days of school... so I changed my trip and came back for another week in feb. And now I can ride into the sunset...it's amazing! Really good school, cool teachers and excellent spots. Depending on the wind, you go by boat where it's best ! See you again, guys... More

I didn't think it would be possible, but George made me a kiteboarder in only 3 days. This school had fantastic and experienced instructors who took it step by step. So by only 3 hrs a day, in 3 days i managed to get on the board by my self and kite. It was FUN!!!! I'll be back next year... More

Just brilliant - a 9/10 hour beginner to intermediate course split over 4 days. They have rental equipment to hire if you need. Perfect location, warm shallow water and great staff.

The thrill of kiteboarding is something anyone who can swim should try. Holbox Kiteboarding School instructors were friendly, patient, great instructors. They helped me get my older body up and kiting, helped figure out ways for a guy (me) who has limited back motion from several surgeries. It is truly addictive and I will be back. This experience should have... More
