My partner and I spent 5 days kiting with Martin, Jass, Yere and the rest of the kite addict team and had a blast! The whole team work hard to get you out on the water and having a great time.We hired mostly duotone gear which was all in good order and if we weren’t enjoying a kite/wrong size for conditions we quickly swapped. We took beginner and advanced lessons which in English and the instructors were great. When hiring or for lessons depending on conditions they will take you to the lagoon if it’s offshore. Wind was very consistent we kites every day we were there in 25 knot winds.I would highly recommend anyone considering a trip to Mayapo see the team at kite addiction for hire or lessons or for a beer after a session.

A great place and great instructors for a beginner to learn kitesurfing.The school is IKO affiliated (one of the reasons I chose it) and is right on the beach. Their equipment is in good condition and in some cases, brand new. If the wind is on-shore or at least across the shore, it's a wonderful experience kitesurfing at sunset in the warm Caribbean sea. If the wind isn't on-shore, there's a lagoon a few minutes away which eliminates the possibility of being blown out to sea.Martin, the school owner, is a highly qualified instructor and has a wonderful team of other instructors to back him up, over whom, he keeps close watch. All are very encouraging, even if Martin himself is demanding of his students - or at least of me - a good thing!Be aware, that the school is somewhat isolated - it's forty minutes or so by car to Riohacha to banks, supermarkets, pharmacies and medical services. This wasn't a problem for me, as I enjoyed the tranquility - twice, for a month each - to kitesurf, run on the beach in the morning and improve my Spanish.

The best place to learn to kite in Colombia. The spot is unmatched, there is wind all year round and the wind is perfect for learning. The instructors are too friendly and professional.

I love every day there! Now I go at least 3-4 times a year and find fun and security in a place that has become my home and with people who are now family!!!

While the location was remote and hard to get to, the school helped coordinate the rides from Palomino to get there making it very easy to find. The conditions were perfect. The water was not crowded and warm enough to go without a wetsuit. The water was also very flat and the wind was consistent. I had an excellent instructor who was thorough and dedicated to helping me with water starts. He stuck to the IKO curriculum. The school was also English friendly. The prices were reasonable. And I met some cool people there as well. Highly recommend the experience. Don't let the location deter you. It's worth the trek!

Started learning kite surfing this week at Kite Addict with amazing instructors Martin, Jhoan and Betto! The atmosphere was really relaxed and everyone was very kind. We stayed here 4 days and within 13 hours we are able to kite independently. With their well setup training course and helpful feedback, we will be able to keep on practicing ourselves now. Also, the beach and lagoon closeby felt almost private, and Mayapo feels like a secret getaway from reality. We really loved our entire stay!
