The Core of the Experience: E-Foiling Days

For five days, you’ll be out on the water, riding premium AUDI Aerofoils from World of Efoil GmbH, guided by skilled instructors fluent in German, Spanish, and English. The precise locations—Zahara de los Atunes, Caños, Tarifa, Motril, Marbella, Seville, or Sanlúcar—depend on weather conditions, which makes planning a bit flexible. However, this also means you’ll benefit from the best possible conditions on the day of your lesson, ensuring safety and fun.

Each day begins with a transfer to the chosen site, where you’ll gear up and receive a safety briefing before hitting the water. Whether you’re a complete novice or looking to refine your skills, the instructors tailor their guidance to your experience level. Reviewers mention that all abilities are welcomed, including those who are “not swimmers” or prone to seasickness, as instructors are attentive and safety-conscious.

What’s Not Included and Why it Matters

While the package covers most essentials—accommodations, meals, transfers, and equipment—you will need to arrange your own airport transfer and arrival. Breakfast, dinners on free days, alcoholic drinks, and lunches outside the provided meals are also excluded. This setup offers flexibility but requires some planning, especially if you prefer full board or want to explore more gastronomic options.

Given the emphasis on safety and comfort, it’s worth noting that the experience is not suitable for children under 18, non-swimmers, or those with specific health issues such as back problems or mobility challenges. The weight limit of 243 lbs (110 kg) and restrictions regarding low fitness levels and seasickness are also in place for safety reasons.

The Real Value of This Experience

Staying in a scenic country house provides a peaceful retreat, while the inclusion of meals, transfers, and equipment rental reduces the stress of planning logistics.
