    Watersports holidays making a splash

    Where will your next water adventure take you?

    Learn the thrilling sport of kitesurfing on the windy island of Fuerteventura in the Atlantic Ocean, try coasteering along Majorca’s spectacular coastline, or explore hidden caves in the Irish Sea from County Wexford in Ireland.

    Don your life jacket further afield and explore the Keralan backwaters by kayak in India or try your hand at windsurfing as you immerse yourself in the laid-back surf culture on the coast of Morocco.

    We’re here to help you find the ideal watersports holiday to suit your level, style and travel plans.

    Watersports experiences for the body and mind

    If you’re looking to activate your mind as well as your body, why not combine your watersports holiday with another hobby or passion?

    Learn the Spanish lingo before hitting the water to kitesurf or try stand up paddleboarding on a Spanish and watersports holiday or learn about the local culture and nature as you glide along in a kayak during small group guided tours.

    Whatever your interests, you can find a watersports holiday to indulge your passions, as well as meet like-minded people to experience them with. Never settle for ordinary.

    Who are our watersports holiday guests?

    Experienced kayakers, first-time windsurfers, thrill-seekers looking for a new adventure – everyone is welcome at the schools of our fully-qualified instructors.

    You’ll meet people of all ages and nationalities, from solo travellers to couples to friends. Some spend most of their lives in or near the water, others simply want to see the world from a different perspective.

    All that’s required is an abundance of energy, a slight adventurous streak and a refusal to be boxed in.

    Is this you? It looks like you.

    Thousands of people have already discovered that our eclectic mix of watersports holidays are as diverse as the people who go on them. Come and join them.
