A full beginner package on the Laguna Vista lagoon: sessions 1 to 4, eight hours of lessons in total, the IKO licence and one day of equipment rental — €350 for the whole course, not per lesson.
Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt · 8h · €350 per session · EN
Excellent experience for my son at Kitesurf King of Lagoon. The team is incredibly supportive and great at building confidence in young learners.
What is this tour like?
King of Lagoon teaches on the flat lagoon in front of the Laguna Vista Beach Albatros hotel in Nabq. The beginner package is sold as one block: sessions 1 through 4, eight hours of instruction, the IKO licence at the end and one day of equipment rental afterwards so you can put the course to use straight away. The school holds 4.9 on Google from 172 reviews.
The price of €350 covers that whole package — it is not an hourly or per-session rate, so nothing else is added for the four sessions or for the licence. What is not covered is rental beyond that first free day: the school charges 90 € per day for the full kit. Instruction is given in English. The exact start time and the daily schedule of your sessions are agreed with the school when you book, since teaching windows depend on the wind.
