点评:We came to Watamu planning to stay for one week… but after 2 days we extended, and then extended again—ended up staying 3 weeks. That probably says it all.
The kite school also has accommodation, which we booked, and it made the whole experience. You’re basically living together with everyone, gear is stored right at the beach, and even though we didn’t take lessons, we still felt completely included. The instructors would always give little tips—huge thanks to Filipo for helping me finally land front rolls!
I was travelling with a friend (two girls), and we felt super safe the entire time—both at the kite school and around Watamu. Getting around by tuk tuk was easy and we never had any issues.
Maya and Francesco, who run the place, are honestly amazing—so lovely, helpful, knowledgeable, and just really great people. They create such a relaxed, welcoming vibe that makes you feel part of a little family straight away.
Food was a big highlight. We booked the meal package and would definitely recommend it—delicious vegan food, super accommodating with dietary requirements, great Italian coffee in the morning, and lots of fresh fruit. Lunch was prepared and brought to the beach in containers, which we really appreciated (no waste).
Kiting conditions were incredible. Loads of space, mostly flat water, and waves if you want them. I went in January and was able to kite every single day on my 9m, which felt pretty special. Also saw turtles almost every day while out on the water.
The whole team made it even better—Michael the chef was amazing, and the women helping in the house were incredibly kind.
Another big highlight were the downwinders—we did two with the best crew, so much fun.
If you’re thinking about Kenya but unsure—just do it. Watamu is beautiful, feels very safe, and is an amazing kitesurfing spot.
We absolutely loved it and would come back in a heartbeat.
翻译:我们原本计划来瓦塔穆待一周……结果两天后就延长了行程,然后又延长了一次——最后待了三周。这大概足以说明一切了。
风筝冲浪学校也提供住宿,我们预订了那里的房间,这让整个体验更加完美。基本上,你和大家住在一起,装备就存放在海滩上,即使我们没有上课,也感觉完全融入其中。教练们总是会给出一些小建议——非常感谢菲利波,他终于帮我成功完成了前滚翻!
我和朋友(两个女孩)一起旅行,我们全程都感觉非常安全——无论是在风筝冲浪学校还是在瓦塔穆其他地方。乘坐嘟嘟车出行很方便,我们也没有遇到任何问题。
经营这家风筝冲浪学校的玛雅和弗朗西斯科真的非常棒——他们热情友好、乐于助人、知识渊博,而且人真的很好。他们营造了一种轻松温馨的氛围,让你立刻感觉自己是这个小家庭的一份子。
美食也是一大亮点。我们预订了餐饮套餐,强烈推荐!美味的素食,对特殊饮食需求也照顾得非常周到,早上还有很棒的意式咖啡,以及大量新鲜水果。午餐是用容器装好送到海滩的,我们非常感激(一点也不浪费)。
风筝冲浪的条件简直棒极了。水域宽敞,大部分是平静的水面,如果你想玩浪的话,这里也有。我一月份去的,每天都能用我的9米风筝冲浪,感觉非常特别。而且几乎每天出海都能看到海龟。
整个团队都让这次体验更加完美——厨师Michael厨艺精湛,在酒店帮忙的女士们也都非常友善。
另一个亮点是顺风滑行——我们和最棒的团队一起滑了两次,超级好玩。
如果你正在考虑去肯尼亚但又犹豫不决——那就别犹豫了,去吧!瓦塔穆风景优美,感觉非常安全,而且是绝佳的风筝冲浪胜地。
我们非常喜欢这里,一定会毫不犹豫地再次光临。
