I went to Sant Marianita in November 2017 to learn kitesurfing with Kite Ecuador.

Javier and his crew all are very nice and helpful people, who made me feel very welcome.

Javier is a great instructor and very concerned about the... read more safety of his students.

He speaks perfect english, which was very important to me, because my level of Spanish is far from even being called "basic".

The school used brand new 2018 North and Ion equipment which was in very good condition.

Nevertheless, the rental prices were the lowest I have seen so far.

The beach in Santa Marianita is more than 5 km long, rather wide and almost empty most days of the week, so you have a lot of space on and off the water (I don't think I have ever seen much more than 10 or 15 kites on the water).

I planned to stay for a few days in order to do the course and in the end stayed for almost three weeks. read less  - 22/04/18

Best place for kitesurfing! Great kiting, great instructor, great vibe. Just GREAT! 🙂 I spent several weeks with Javier and his crew. He had the patience to teach me all about kitesurfing 🙂 And he really knows what he's doing. Safety first! He speaks Englisch fluently, but is also willing to let you... read more practise your Spanish 😉 He is also using the newest North-Kite gear (2018), which is great to learn with. His prices are more than fair and also is he a great guy to have a beer or two with in the evenings after the sessions at Donkey Den, where all kiters and visitors of the lovely and relaxed village of Santa Marianita hang out. Just an awesome vibe. Best place to get addicted to Kitesurfing. 😉 read less  - 24/03/18

Kite Ecuador is the perfect place to learn, develop or perfect your Kiting. I spent two weeks kiting here and went from standing on the beach with a Kite to launching off waves! Javier is enthusiastic and not only runs... read more a first rate school, but creates an amazing atmosphere at the school. The beers are cold and it is a great place to hang out. The wind is reliable and even when it shifts to light wind or stronger wind they have a huge variety of top notch equipment so you can maximize your time.

Communication leading up to my arrival was incredibly positive and prompt, with detailed directions and accommodation recommendations.

Aside from amazing kiting you also have the chance to kite with wildlife as you often will see whales and I was lucky enough to kite alongside a Whale Shark for half an hour one day!

Santa Marianita is as a chilled out spot which has the perfect vibes for a kite vacation!

I could ramble on and on about how incredible Kite Ecuador is but I'll finish by saying if you want to learn to Kite in an amazing spot with the best gear and superb people, then the obvious choice is Kite Ecuador with Javier, Mike and the gang!

Shout out to Mike for the excellent guidance and the volunteers for the endless support and positive vibes! read less  - 15/11/18
